This is the first full model change following the facelift model in 2018. The name "G90" follows the brand’s naming scheme, combining the letter "G" for Genesis and the number "90" indicating that it is the brand’s flagship.
The G90’s appearance is the most
elegant interpretation of the brand’s design philosophy of Athletic
Elegance yet, showcasing to customers that it is a flagship capable of
providing truly luxurious experiences.
The model’s front exterior
consists of a new Crest Grille and sleek Two-Line lamps that resembles
the brand’s emblem. The Crest Grille takes the G90’s luxurious look to
the next level with its Layered Architecture finish, which is comprised
of two G-Matrix patterns layered on top of one another to create a
three-dimensional effect.
The Two-Line headlamps, located on both
sides of the grille, feature the thinnest Two-Line design lamps by
Genesis. By intercrossing the lens of the Daytime Running Lights (DRLs)
with low beam powered by MLA (Micro Lens Array) technology, ensuring the
headlamps' thin lines.
The G90’s status as a best-in-class
luxury sedan is further cemented with its Clamshell Hood, a single panel
that combines the hood and fenders in order to eliminate panel gaps and
create a sleek impression. This sleekness is also embodied in the
Guilloche pattern-applied emblem, which is nearly 80 percent thinner
than seen on previous emblems.
When viewed from the side, the
Parabolic Line design, which starts from the hood and flows along the
bottom of the window to the trunk in a seamless line. And vehicle’s
refined and voluminous body has been further enhanced with the Athletic
Power Lines on the fenders around the wheels, projecting power and
dynamism.
The Daylight Opening (DLO) that surround the first- and
second-row seat windows are designed to harmonize with its thick
C-pillars. This offers second-row passengers both an open atmosphere and
privacy at the same time, ultimately coming together to complete the
model's image as a best-in-class luxury sedan.
The elegant
proportions of the wide rear grant the model a strong and well-balanced
image. The Two-Line rear combination lamps - key elements of the Genesis
design language - are elongated along the trunk, with Genesis’
lettering emblem placed concisely between them.
To draw focus to
the iconic Genesis design elements on the upper rear part of the
vehicle, functional elements, such as the license plate, various
sensors, and the reverse lights, have been placed toward the bottom to
ensure that the rear offers a clean and luxurious look.
The G90 long-wheelbase model features more space to the second-row door and C-pillar area thanks to its expanded wheelbase that is 190 mm longer than the sedan model. This allows for more spacious rear seats. It also offers a 20-inch wheel design exclusive for this model.
Additionally, the Parabolic Line formed by the DLOs that surround the windows and the B-pillar are finished in chrome, allowing the long-wheelbase model’s side profile to make even more of an impression. The model also has exclusive front and rear bumper designs that feature chrome decorations on its rims for enhanced elegance and dynamism.
With the G90, Genesis plans to expand its presence in the luxury sedan market not only in Korea, but across the globe. Detailed specifications of the 2022 G90 will be revealed at the time of global launch in Korea.
