    One of the most reliable vehicles I’ve owned!!!

    This vehicle can be placed along side of the Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Lexus, etc. I test drove all of the previously mentioned vehicles and the G90 provides all of what I wanted and with extra features. You get more bang for you buck!!!! No Buyers Remorse on this end!!!!

    World-class luxury car at an outstanding price

    Took delivery of a Genesis G90 in March and am very, very pleased. The ride, handling, technology, materials, build quality, quietness and performance are excellent. The twin turbo V6 is an absolute gem - even more responsive than the very good V8s in other Genesis and Equus cars I?ve owned. In my opinion, the G90 is close to the equal of a similarly equipped S-Class that costs $45,000 more. The G90 does not equal the Mercedes in prestige or status and probably never will. But it's a fine, world-class luxury car at an outstanding price.

    Wisdom

    I came out of a Mercedes E350 and was looking for a larger more comfortable ride because I am on the road all the time. I test drove Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Acura, Volvo, at al. The G-90 equalled or exceeded all of them and for just over HALF the price. Amazing, great value car.

    I think this is one of the best luxury cars ever built! Mercedes, Lexus, Audi, Jaguar, and BMW better watch out! I definitely made the right purchase.

    Most reliable car I have ever had

    Until now I had no complains with Genesis 90 service. They have been always prompt, professional and courteous. After all of this, the sales team caters for cheap Hyundai cars owners, the refinement and people skills are not there, unfortunately. I lost a tire on a Sunday and the service department was closed and I was denied a loaner, any loaner. This is the second Genesis I own. The manager in charge s a replacement)was rude and unprofessional. Hyundai has to understand that in order gain the trust of Genesis 90 owners they have to train the staff and preventing such occurrence.

    This car is phenomenal

    Everything I would want in a car is in this car except it doesn't park itself. Other than that there is nothing more I would desire in a car.

    All Time Best Car We've Ever Owned

    We have owned a least one of Mercedes, Lexus, Audi, Cadillac, Acura, BMW and Volvo; however, the Genesis G90 Ultimate far surpasses any one of them. It is the quietest, smoothest ride you could imagine with so many features, that it would take a lifetime to learn them all. In 2021 Genesis plans to release their SUVs - we will be on their waiting list to purchase one.

    Best of the Best

    This is my second Genesis and I am very pleased with both. There was nothing wrong with my first Genesis, but needed a car with less miles. I never had a problem at all.

    Excellent Luxury for a Value Price

    This is my ultimate Luxury Car and will probably be the last car I own. Compared to Mercedes S Class, Cadillac, BMW 7 Series, or Lexus, the G90 Has all the amenities without the extra $30K price tag. The ride is the smoothest and quietest I have ever experienced. The appointments are top notch quality and the attention to detail is unsurpassed. Additionally, the Warranty cannot be beat. After test driving all of the above models, the Genesis G90 just naturally rose to the top. I look forward to driving this machine for the next 25+ years. Well done!

    Lexus quality at Hyundai price

    If five years ago someone said I would be driving a Genesis (Hyundai) I would say they were crazy. But, my how the quality of these cars has moved forward in leaps and bounds. I have had many high end luxury cars over the years and I can say without hesitation this Genesis is one of the best.
