CG Says: Hyundai launches its new Genesis premium brand for 2017. Just as Acura is the luxury division of Honda and Lexus the upscale brand of Toyota, so Genesis will be an upmarket Hyundai product. The 2017 Genesis G90 is a new design that replaces the Hyundai Equus and is the flagship of the Genesis brand. The G90 has two powertrain choices: a twin-turbocharged 3.3-liter V6 or a 5.0-liter V8. Both mate to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel or all-wheel drive are available with either engine. Standard safety features include automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind-spot alert, lane-keep assist, driver-attention alert, and 360-degree multi-view monitor. There are no options offered on G90, which is well equipped with standard heated/ventilated front seats, tri-zone automatic climate controls, head-up instrument display, rear sunshades, hands-free trunk opener, and power door closure on all models. The topline 5.0 model adds power-adjustable, heated/ventilated rear seats. G90 offers the size and luxury of Lexus LS and high-end German rivals at a lower price.
