2026 Genesis G90: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2026 Genesis G90 is the new Prestige Black trim, which gives the 409-hp e-supercharged model a dark exterior and blacked-out cabin. Otherwise, this is a light-update year rather than a redesign.
About the 2026 Genesis G90
2nd-generation Genesis G90 in the U.S. (introduced for 2023); fourth model year of this body style, minor-update year with a new Prestige Black edition.
Genesis positions the G90 as its full-size flagship sedan, centered on passenger comfort, quietness, and craftsmanship rather than overt sportiness. The brand’s language focuses on timeless elegance, indulgence, and rear-seat hospitality, with rich materials, massage seating, power door technology, and advanced driver-assistance features doing the heavy lifting. For most shoppers, the G90 is the Genesis sedan for a chauffeured feel, standout design, and a long luxury-feature list without relying on the traditional German-brand image.
The 3.5T remains the comfort-focused core model, with a 375-hp twin-turbo V6, AWD, Nappa leather, front massage seats, and an electronically controlled suspension. The 409-hp 3.5T E-SC MHEV emphasizes smoother performance and rear-seat comfort with air suspension, rear-wheel steering, massaging rear seats, and a 26-speaker audio system. Prestige Black adds a stronger monochrome look to that upper model.
