2025 Genesis G90

Genesis, Hyundai Motor Group’s upscale brand, competes with well-established luxury automakers, but its vehicles often cost less than European equivalents. The brand sells a variety of sedans and SUVs, including several EVs. In Consumer Reports’ tests, Genesis models have impressed. Their ride and handling are balanced, fit and finish is excellent, and meaningful driver assistance systems are usually standard. Unfortunately, the once easy-to-use controls in earlier models have become more complicated. Reliability varies: some models have dropped to below average reliability ratings, while others achieved average reliability, enough to earn Consumer Reports’ recommendations.

The redesigned 2023 G90 adds in abundant luxury and technology features. Two engines are available: a stout 375-hp, 3.5-liter turbo V6, and a more powerful 409-hp version with an electric supercharger. The supersmooth eight-speed automatic complements both. The G90 rides very comfortably, mopping up every bump and rut with its supple suspension. Handling is responsive, thanks in part to available rear-wheel steering. The cabin is beautifully finished and is designed to pamper, with massaging seats, soft-closing doors, and a high-quality sound system. Top versions have a reclining rear seat for those who would rather be chauffeured. A complete suite of active safety features is standard, and the active driving assistance system is able to change lanes.
