Yes, the 2020 Genesis G90 sedan is priced much lower than BMW 7-Series, Lexus LS and Mercedes S Class. But a bargain price is still a poor value if it can’t fully satisfy owners. With fresh sheet metal and a bold new face, Genesis is looking to get noticed. Don’t need a badge to impress the herd? Available with twin turbo V6 or V8 power, the luxurious G90 Ultimate will satisfy those who are confident enough to buy on ability, not reputation. Oh, and there are Emmy Awards in this video...

I've never seen a harder flex than Tom and his Emmys
That flex was lit!!
😎😎😎
You think he even knows what "flex" means lol.
@@elliottmanning4116 Of course I do. It's a Ford. My brother has one.
@@DrivenCarReviews Secondary flex: achieved :)
The Flex was strong within him.
CORRECTION- I state that there are three interior color choices. There are four, black, beige blue and brown. And fun fact- if you go to the Genesis.com website to configure a G90, the backdrop is the 4 Seasons hotel in Seattle.
@Coleen West Not really sure, it's a suburb east of Seattle. I was on a freelance shoot for Microsoft when I stumbled on the location and thought it was a great place for running footage. Hope I can find it again.
8:16, you said that there's dual zone climate controls in the back seats which will make it quad zone. A fully equipped g90 only come with tri zone. 1 climate zone in the rear seats.
He is one of the best car reviewers. Have been following him for years and he is incredible
The man has the Times on his resume. Not many automotive UA-camrs can say the same. Polished and balanced content for sure.
Why don't you marry him?
DarkRendition why don’t you go do something productive?
DarkRendition this is the dumbest comment ever🤦🏼♂️
Genesis has been killing it lately. Love the look of that new G80!
I agree. I hope they don't give up on the "car" segment, like Ford and GM.
Agree. The G80 is amazing looking.
edmaluf Ford gave up on cars. GM just introduced two brand new sedans to the Cadillac lineup. How is that giving up on cars?
@@mybro727 And? GM as a whole slashed most of their cars, mostly Chevy. Which is a good thing considering GM, along with Cadillac are all junk.
Jared Shelton So you gave your unwanted opinion on GM and their cars...And? Lmdao. Nobody asked or cares what you think about GM. No one was even talking to you. I personally don’t care what you think and I’m sure neither GM or Cadillac gives a damn what you think about them either so I’m confused as to why you’re writing me to give your opinion when I did not care to ask.
I love it. I also believe those Emmys because I don't drive or have a car but I genuinely enjoy these reviews (for years!). They are entertaining and informative.
"oh look that emmey is taking a nap" hahahahaha. Love it Tom Voelk
For the life of me, I can't understand why Tom doesn't have at least five times the number of subscribers. My favorite reviews with plenty of quality exterior and interior shots and good information.
He's annoying.
Your hard work is definitely reflected in the reviews, Tom. Thank you!
Tom, YOU are awesome! Your stuff is super professional and so informative. Love the humour and just your personality (even your leather jackets, which you dropped recently, grew on me... just kidding)! I am really dumbfound why there are not more subscribers to your channel.
A LIKE from me and thank you sincerely for the first-class automotive info
God bless!
I'd forgotten about Mr. Voelk for a few years (haven't bought a car in a bit). He is still a fun and informative car reviewer. I hope he keeps it up for a long time to come.
You are by far one of the best in the business. I love your lack of brand bias in your reviews! Keep them coming!!
Nice Volt at 9:05. And if any car reviewer gets to flaunt their Emmys, it’s this one.
Sweet ride! I like the back seat better than the front seat lol.
THAT EMMY AWARD FLEX THO
🏆🏆🏆😎😎😎🏁🏁🏁
I love the format of your reviews. Its just what we want to see and not 20 minutes of fiddling with the infotainment controls. You are as close to Brian Cooley as anybody I've seen, and thats a compliment. He left a void in the review world when he left. I love this new Genesis, it looks like nothing else on the road.
Yup, Brian's a good guy. While I produce videos, I seldom watch others because so many producers waste time repeating the same thing and trying to figure things out on the fly. It's a waste of my time. I do all the fiddling before I shoot because I don't want to waste yours.
Great Review Tom. Look at all those awards. Your videos reflect the excellence of your craft. Keep them coming.
Very underrated channel. Love your quality videos. Smashing the subscribe button!!
So impressed with the G90 and the upcoming G80. Elegant inside and out. It's like an affordable Bentley with an incredible warranty. I'm buying a Genesis very soon. Refreshingly different. It's a shame the antiquated State laws with the dealerships wouldn't allow Genesis to sell directly like Tesla. The good old boy system and paying the right politicians ensure an awful, in person dealership experience at Hyundai will always exist. It's a shame there can't be progress in that area
Great video, Tom. Really enjoy your reviews.
Always the BEST....thx Tom!
Great review. Your humbler than I, I would name drop and randomly include all those Emmies all the time. Bravo!
I prefer to let the videos speak rather than Emmy brag. As we say in Seattle, all those awards and $5 will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks.
The best car reviews on UA-cam congratulations from Costa Rica !!!!!
Wow! All these Emmys. No wonder why I love your reviews
Please review the GV80 SUV and the new and beautiful 80 sedan as well (if possible). Thanks.
A collection of awards - you deserve it and hence the great quality of your videos! 👍😊 G90 will have to win some awards too...
Excellent perspective, Tom.
I love the evil twin segments! Thanks Tom, you're doing an awesome job! Stay healthy, stay safe! Rock on brother.....
The G90 and two MX-5's sounds like a good garage to me!
Great video, thank you!! I like the giant amount of wood trim in the interior, very classy !!! Pretty cool looking car over all. I think the best view is the rear end, but the front is starting to grow on me.
the finest auto channel in youtube....if i may say so myself (-:
That's a lot of Emmy awards, so surprising you don't have more subscribers.
I didn’t know you have a podcast. Another great review!
It's just the video that I post here but I have to do it at a much lower bit rate because it's extremely expensive. Really, it's better here in 4K.
What a truly nice luxury vehicle, Tom! Thanks for this video.
David Wolf you could get a cheap sedan with better fuel economy. Most average cars today are just as comfortable as this car in the video. I think it’s just overpriced. You could buy a diesel truck for less money than this gas sedan.
Yup, been following Driven since the early 00s, I remember when I got my first cell phone back in ‘01-02 Verizon “online” forget the name of it now haha had a car review section by none other than Tom.
Base model V6 with RWD seems by far the best value for money. Nearly the same amount of torque as the V8, but at a much lower rpm. Very attractive luxury comfort offering!
Scotty Kilmer: I have over 3 million subscribers
Tom Voelk: Hold my Moscato.....and my Emmy(s).
Very nice car, looks great. Damn, that's a lot of Emmys.
what, WHAT? why do you have so many emmys!? what did I missed, especially after your channel is so underrated😱
UA-cam is not everything friend. You won't find cheap content like Doug demuro win emmys
Curley Pubes wow now I totally know more, thanks for your dumb and unnecessary comment🤦🏼♂️🙄
Thx as always sir for a fine review. I wonder please will you ever be able to offer a review of the new 2020 C8 Corvette? I’d really appreciate your ‘take’. Regards and be well.
It keeps getting longer and longer as the COVID-19 lockdown happens. No one is more sorry than me.
Driven Car Reviews Understood. Thx for all you do for us.
What car stereos have you tested that you would say are best in class?
Oh look....that one's taking a nap!!!! 😂😂😂😂👍Tom you're a class act my dude!!! For the life of me I don't know why you don't have a million subs by now!!!! Share share share this and all this guy's vids guys and gals!!!! Keep up the good work Tom!!!
Thanks Mario!
Nice subtle flex with those Emmys, great job
Really like Genesis's new design language. Can't wait of the G80 review!
Tom, are you sure your twin didn't win some of those Emmys? Good work!
The broken ones are his
Good video! I like tons of options the germans offer but can be a little much. Far as gas didn't buy sport sedan for mileage but mid twenties works for the best performance
When did this video come out? We have several Genesis stores in Kentucky.
All those Emmys... I’m impressed Tom. 👍
All of those and $5 gets me a cup of coffee at Starbucks. Just sayin'...
Tom's garage looks like a WW2 bunker. I like it.
Impressive Emmy collection.
He reminds me of PBS's car program. Great journalism.
Tom you have a way with words and great delivery too. Have you found your true calling here or is there something grander out there for you?
That is one beautiful neighborhood and a great looking car to match.
Excellent fun video, you should put your twin brother in the trunk next time😉. $70k plus is heavy for a hyundai but if you don't care much for the brand. Thank you for keep making videos on this dark times.
Well deserved awards
I guess I'm their target market - 72 years old and retired. Actually I had a 2017 G90 5.0 AWD which I traded in on a 2020 G90 5.0 AWD. It took me months to get mine (ordered Jan 2020 - took delivery late May 2020) but of course there a pandemic disrupting the world. Anyway as to the wheels - did not like them in pictures but now that I've had it awhile I am getting to like them. But even if I didn't I would still love the rest of the car. I think the 2020 is actually quieter than my 2017 was. Anyway I am the proud owner of a 2020 G90 5.0 AWD Ultimate in Uyuni White with the Beige/Havana interior. Love it and plan to replace it only when they redesign the G90 in three or 4 years. Great cars that need some advertising,
Boy, your Evil twin got luxury treatment on this one! This car is SERIOUS stuff. Too bad we don't get it in the Old world... Love that engine sound. 420hp, but... what's the weight of a big toy like this one? Thanks Tom!
What car stereos would you say are best in class?
I don't know... not really feeling the rear.
Look in the mirror
The only thing the German rivals have going for them now is brand loyalty. This is clearly the better value.
It's interesting to see because that's more or less what happened with Lexus when it was introduced to the American market. Toyota basically developed a sedan that was either on par or in some ways exceeded the German cars of the time while undercutting them in price. In time, Lexus began to increase its price as it established itself as a "true" rival to the German brands.
I wonder if Hyundai is trying to follow the same strategy, down to introducing a luxury sedan. But I think Tom is right. Maybe in this market, it would have been better to lead with a luxury SUV. In time though, once they cultivate their brand image, I think they will also raise their prices, both to increase profit but also as Tom said, as part of the message that this is an exclusive brand.
Luxury cars are in general mostly about image and brand recognition. They have always offered terrible value. Even more so nowadays, since modern mainstream cars are getting better and better.
Personally, if I needed a large, luxurious sedan, I would buy something like a Kia K900 which comes without all the high-rolling image crap.
You've never owned and definitely never driven
@@YEdwardP Toyota vs Hyundai huge difference but definitely agree with the progress and quiet infiltration.
@@dsugioaga l would be interested if your option wasn't based on price. K900 wouldn't make the cut I bet
Great car and review Tom! Greetings from Argentina!
Loving that avatar!
Great review as always and the awards are truly impressive. As for the vehicle: Looks like a nice car. But that grill...reminds me of back when Yamaha/Suzuki/Kawasaki first tried to design"cruiser bikes" and came up with stylistic miscues like the Virago...just inept attempts at going for the class leader at the time (Harley). This grill, and the wheels!, are just feh in my estimation.
I'd buy this car with my imaginary money for the wheels alone.
I think overall the car's styling is generally boring inside and out, but then those lattice-style wheels roll up outta of nowhere like a pair of 90s light up shoes. I love them so much 😍
The Evil Twin and the Emmy were hilarious .
There's more than enough room for a swinger's party and quiet enough to hear all of the noises.
Great video as always! But I disagree that it won't impress people. In fact I think that if this would drive by an S Class, people won't even look twice at the S-Class.
For the dealer experience, Genesis does it right in Canada (and very differently from the US). It has some boutique stores in big malls just to showcase the cars and aren't there to sell them (kind of like Tesla did in the days). Everything else is done online. If you want a testdrive, they'll come to you, same if you want to buy one. If you need a servicing, they will come and pick it up for you and leave you a loaner, regardless of where you are (home or work) and regardless of the car you have so even the cheapest G70 will receive the same treatment. Oh and you also get a 5 year free maintenance, valet services, etc.
Genesis buyers seem to be quite different from the others. They're in the know. They know they have excellent products in their hands and for prices you'd be a fool not to consider because you're a badge snob lol. You should check out the new G80 which finally showcases the brand's next gen unique design and has no ressemblance whatsoever with Hyundai
No lie, I didn't know ANYONE had that many Emmys LOL.
Emmy award winner, and winning.
How would you compare this to the new K900?
I have not driven it so I can't
... Could be. One targets German lux brands and one targets Japanese. All depends on priorities.
hard to fathom you thought the audio was good but not best in class... i think it's spectacular. what do you consider best in class?
Your reviews are so polished, I'd even politely encourage you to do some more long-format reviews. I don't think you need to be Alex on Autos-level of minutia but you're more than insightful enough that I think we'd watch for another 5 minutes and additional commercial break ($$$).
Personally, I think they're approaching the "too long" threshold right now. I like to hit the important stuff, throw in some fun facts and let you all get back to your day. I firmly believe these don't need to be 20 minutes long. That said, Alex is a great guy and works hard on events.
@@DrivenCarReviews I'm subscribed to both of you :-). The Japan videos were awesome btw.
Oh! The outgoing model is handsome. Maybe I'll go pick up one of those,
I love it when you say you can have this and something else for the price of the Germans. Can you do G70 review soon? Thanks. Love those wheels
Already did the 70- ua-cam.com/video/q41YcR38SXY/v-deo.html
2:20 nice
Before you opened the trunk, based on the video vista at that moment, I thought you were going to load firewood into it....or something!
Yikes! Throw a pair of eyes on the windshield and you have a new Pixar Cars character.
Gauges are ok but no different than what can be had in a Sonata, lack of digital gauges is pretty glaring for a flagship.
I don't mind the physical gauges, but I think they should've done more to make them stand out more. Look at the RAM 1500 Laramie Longhorn's gauges for example. Granted, it's hard to justify when Sonata's and Palisade's have fully digital clusters now.
Fully digital clusters suck. They’re always too bright or dim. Analogs are better imo
They developed a new 3D cluster with Continental which will be in the all new G80, remember, this is a mid cycle refresh, not an overhaul. I'm assuming next year's model will receive the same cluster from the G80.
Nice review. That giant Accent really???
Biiiiig Motorweek vibes here.
Beautiful car.. but is your garage underground??
Thanks for the comparison with the previous model, Tom. I like the looks of the previous G60 a lot more. And, what's with this 'huge grille' trend? It's getting ridiculous. Kind of like fins on 1950's cars. Guess that would make the new Lexus RX the '59 Coupe DeVille of grilles :).
This car is not for anyone looking at an upper tier German rival; ex BMWM760 or whatever. But anyone looking at the base Germans would be crazy to not at least take this for a spin. I did. And a comparable S Class is about 50K+ more than this. The Benz was great! But to me, not 50 grand better. The G90 is a sweet car!
I think its a cool car, i would get the awd v-8 version, but then if i did that, i would just go with an awd suv, even with a 6 cylinder.
How about a story on the east coast defender, east coast defender company?
I'm on the west coast
I love the G90, and all the Genesis products for that matter. The Germans have taken tech to such a level that, as you point out, much of it won’t be used. The Mercedes tablet looks clunky & ungraceful. It’s insane! And who the hell needs a perfume dispenser in their car? BMW iDrive has too many sub menus. As far as Audi, I don’t like their styling direction (owned an ‘02 A4). I’m 55 and currently drive a Stinger Premium. Like the styling direction of Kia and Genesis. I get compliments on the Stinger frequently. Reliability is another plus for the South Koreans. Sometimes less is more. You did a great job reviewing the G90. I enjoyed it and look forward to more. Thanks!
I believe the genesis g90 come with tri zone climate control not 4 zone. Great Review as always btw😎👍
I didn't even know they gave Emmys out for podcasts...Can you do a video talking about all of them? I really wanna know the story behind each.
I can't think of anything more boring. The podcast Emmy category was "Alternative Media" and it was my video look (some podcasts are video remember) at all of the easter eggs in the Pixar movie "Cars". I also got John Lassiter to sign a model Lightning McQueen out of that interview.
Driven Car Reviews Interesting. Well I hope you get an Emmy for your car reviews!
One thought; WOW, I do NOT want to EVER clean those wheels!!!! Geesh; wonderful car; only "complaint" would be the wheels and the "hidden" grill adaptive cruise "thingie"....I'm with you Tom...could be done better! As ALWAYS, You are the Man in Car Reviews!!! More Emmy's please.....
Get a brush... Wheel cleaning is just spray and agitate. Not hard.
@@d1sturb3d119 you obviously don't CLEAN like I do. YMMV. To each his own.
@@jerrywidner9755 Lol are you claying wheels now everytime you wash the car? I run a detailing business and have performed concourse levels of detailing on Supra's, E type Jags, various Ferrari's and more. Yeah you're right to each his own.
A tip for anybody who wants a large luxury sedan but doesn't want or need a luxury badge attached to it: there's still the Kia K9/K900.
I'd say the Lincoln Continental Reserve or Black Trim AWD is another alternative. Those 30 way adjustable massaging seats are great, but I'll wager those G90's seats are too! Alas, no V8 in the Lincoln, which is odd.
The Lincoln doesn't quite measure up to the Genesis IMHO but yeah, it could be thrown on the pile along with the Kia K900 I didn't mention. The new Lincolns, Aviator and Nautilus are quite nice though. Lovely interiors.
Think this would last a million miles? I haven't decided on a car for my channel yet but my current 2015 Genesis V8 is approaching 100,000 kms with no problems so far. I'm thinking a G90 V8 might be a good choice.
My brother has one of those V8s in his Hyundai Genesis. He loves that car. Got a screaming deal on it back in the day too.
Looks great ! If people would put their ego aside, this would sell a ton !!!
Badge superiority doesn't mean anything to me and the qualities of this G90 are great but i would take the LS500 here just because its refinement seems to be some classes above just like its price and in this class i guess that s all it matters. By the way i do find your effort..extraordinary always!
I continue to be absolutely flabbergasted that there are no massage seats.
Or battery backed propulsion!
I think its an option. Was pretty sure the driver had it too
Tom - how you managing to get cars for reviews these days? I notice all the reviewers here in the East are mostly doing “Virtual”
Hmm, Page One and Drive Shop are still delivering them- carefully- and I take them out far from other humans to shoot the video. My wife drives these days.Oddly it takes a lot more time to do them these days. Lots of work. Since I generally don't read or watch other reviews (to keep my own opinion) I wasn't aware of this. How do you do a 'virtual" review? I'll have to look...
Its*
Other than the wheels, its a very nice car!
Not a fan of the grill. To me, it looks like they put in a piece of expanded metal. If they varied the sizes of the openings and made it more interesting, it would help a lot. Love everything else about it.
Thanks Tom. I'm satisfying myse...er,wait, that doesn't sound good. Kinda wish I looked at the 6sp G70 closer before dropping coin on a WRX. Sure RWD vs AWD, ans WRX is enthusiest grade, but even top spec Subarus pale in comparison to bottom trim Genesis.
at this price point they should not be still using analog guages. The new Sonata even has a all screen dash for way less.
Looks like a solid effort from genesis but that grille is horrible.
Great review as always.
That G90 should be only ordered in the saddle leather interior. That’s the nicest interior setup.
