Video: 2017 Genesis G90 Review

Now, why is it so comfortable? A big part of it is this new engine. Our test car came with the 3.3 liter twin turbocharged V6. Makes about 365 horsepower, but what's really important is how it feels. Sometimes with turbocharged engine, there's a lag and the power comes on with a big rush. Not so with this. It just pulls consistently. So there's always plenty of power when you're moving away from the lights or making a pass on the highway. The G90's insulation and double layer glass cut down on ambient noise. And actually there's so little road, wind, and engine noise that you have to keep an eye on the speedometer. Cause it just sort of pulls you along until all of a sudden you realize you're going way too fast. But the G90 is so comfy, it doesn't actually offer any rewarding driving experience. It kind of wallows from side to side and dives when you're braking. So it's not a car that feels comfortable when it's being pushed. Just as the G90 glides along on the highway, this interior helps with that as well. For starters, the driver's seat has a ton of different adjustments. Also, there's just a lot of room to kind of get situated and comfortable. The same is true in the back seat, which has more room than any luxury car I can remember. But while there is all this space and we have these audio controls and heated seats and two 12 volt outlets down here, the fact is there's only one USB port buried in here and in this day and age, one USB port's probably not enough. The same thing is true of the technology. It's very well done. No, this car doesn't have Apple CarPlay or Android Auto and it likely won't get that anytime soon. But the standard system is really good. It's very easy to switch between things like music and navigation. Also, if you download an app for your smartphone, you can use it to send directions to your car. So that's well done. And that's the same thing with the cameras. Like a lot of luxury cars, this car has sort of a 360 degree camera that helps when you're parking. A lot of cars have that system. This one is very well done. It's very easy to tell where the G90 is in relation to other cars and the curb. And that's important because this thing is longer than a Ford Explorer. The downside is you have to love buttons to get the G90. It looks almost too busy to be a luxury car, but setting aside the looks, it's also just not very practical. When you get up here into this area where you're dealing with like radio and maps and everything else, there's no way to differentiate which button controls what? So you have to take your eyes off the road and that's just not safe. Overall, the Genesis G90 is a very good car. If comfortable, unflustered luxury is what you're looking for, then this really needs to be on your test drive list.
