2020 Genesis G90: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026

About the 2020 Genesis G90
1st generation (2017-2022 U.S.), major mid-cycle refresh year
Genesis positions the G90 as its full-size luxury sedan focused on quiet travel, spacious seating and extensive standard equipment. Its identity centers on passenger comfort as much as driver comfort, with adjustable seating, a smooth adaptive suspension and a cabin designed to reduce outside noise. Compared with established large luxury sedans, the G90 emphasizes straightforward controls, a complete safety suite and high-end features without requiring numerous equipment packages.
The 3.3T Premium serves as the well-equipped core model, with a 365-hp twin-turbo V6, adaptive suspension, Nappa leather and a 17-speaker audio system. The 5.0-liter model focuses more on rear-seat comfort, pairing a 420-hp V8 with power-adjustable heated and ventilated rear seats and dual rear entertainment displays. Both have a 12.3-inch touchscreen and the expanded safety suite.
