2019 Genesis G90: What's New, Specs & Features

The 2019 Genesis G90 is a carryover year with no major changes from 2018. Its engines, design, safety equipment, cabin technology, and chassis tuning remain the same.
About the 2019 Genesis G90
1st generation (2017-2022), third US model year and last year before the major 2020 mid-cycle redesign
The 2019 G90 is Genesis’s largest and most luxurious sedan, built around a quiet ride, generous passenger space, highly adjustable seating, and a broad set of standard comfort and driver-assistance features. Genesis presents it as human-centered luxury: easy-to-use technology, strong V6 or V8 power, and comfort for both the driver and rear passengers, rather than the sport-focused character emphasized by some competing luxury sedans.
The 3.3T Premium pairs a twin-turbo V6 with Nappa leather, a 12.3-inch navigation screen, a 17-speaker audio system, adaptive suspension, and driver-assistance features. The V8 model puts more emphasis on rear-seat comfort with power-adjustable heated and ventilated rear seats and dual entertainment screens.
