What's New in the 2020 Genesis G90?
The most obvious changes to the new G90 are its restyled nose and tail, though Genesis tells us that the only panels that remain the same are the roof and doors. A new set of optional 19-in wheels are offered in a design that matches the G90's restyled grid-pattern grille. The G90's suite of safety-centered driver aids is enhanced with nine new or updated features. And, crucially, Genesis recognizes the merit of smoothness and quietness in its luxury flagship and bolstered those traits this year with additional sound insulation, revised seals, sound-deadening modifications to the transmission housing and new rear differential mounts.

Which G90 is the Best?
Because they're quiet and powerful, we love both of the G90's engines. However, the twin-turbocharged V6 in the Premium trim is the smarter buy. Costing thousands less than the V8, the V6 delivers nearly identical torque 3,700 RPMs earlier in the powerband. And since this isn't a sports car that will be revving to redline every time it's driven, it makes sense to have abundant, usable torque down low. That's what the V6 provides. Plus, you give up very little equipment going with the Prestige trim that only the most finicky back-seat passengers will notice. Find a Genesis G90 for sale
How Much Does a 2020 Genesis G90 Cost?
Genesis keeps the G90's configurations simple. Two engines are offered in the form of two different trims: Prestige and Ultimate. AWD is a $2,500 option on either trim. Both trims come loaded, but the Ultimate offers several additional rear-seat amenities.
The Premium ($73,195) comes standard with a twin-turbocharged 3.3-liter V6 that produces 365 horsepower and 376 lb-ft of torque. An 8-speed automatic transmission is offered exclusively. Even this base trim G90 comes with nearly every luxury amenity expected in the segment. Highlights include a 12.3-in infotainment screen, navigation, 22-way power-adjustable driver seat and 16-way power adjustable front passenger seat, heated and ventilated leather front seats, heated leather rear seats and full LED headlights. A 17-speaker audio system, wireless device charging, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard.
The Ultimate ($76,695) comes standard with a normally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 good for 420 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque. The V8 is attached to the same 8-speed automatic used in the Premium trim. In addition to the features found in the Premium trim, the Ultimate adds a rear-seat entertainment system with two 10.3-in screens, ventilated rear seats, power adjustable rear seats and headrests with memory settings.
