2017 Genesis G90 3.3T - Redline: Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 тра 2017
- Hyundai looks to further move themselves higher up the luxury ladder with the introduction of an all-new full line luxury brand. With the 2017 G90, the replacement for the old Hyundai Equus looks to bring Genesis even closer to its German and Japanese rivals. With a standard twin-turbo V6 and available AWD, the new G90 should offer lots of value to traditional S-Class and 7-series buyers.

I have driven Mercedes and Audi A8L. I recently bought a 2018 G90 Ultimate V8 AWD with 23,000 miles for $43,000. Clean carfax, one owner with plenty of warranty left on it. This car is truly underrated. Its clean and super comfortable. Drives smooth and commands road presence. Cabin is sick! Sleek and relaxing. This is luxury at it's best! Dont think I will be going back to the Germans.
Why so much hate towards Hyundai? Lol let the brand come up shoot, they are doing a great job.
They can't even pronounce it properly...
Haters always look for something to hate. They live a very miserable life! Hyundai has really up their game! Period!
3 years later: Everybody: “omg I want the Stinger.”
@@iaj7517 100% agree
@@iaj7517 Indeed 💯👍. My first car was a 2002 Hyundai Sonata GLS V6 Engine. Now looking forward to for my second car but it might be a Sonata 2018 or maybe a 2017 Genesis G80 Awd or Genesis G90 Awd.
Vehicle is straight classy period, design is flawless, I would by this over a S-Class and a BMW 7 Series in a heartbeat reliability is a 10, once depreciation sets in like all cars it will make a better buy on the pre owned car market, the reliability will still be there while most S-Class and BMW 7 series and Some Audi becomes money pits out of warranty because most buyers can't afford the maintenance cost, only the car note.
all these salty comments that BMW, Benz are better probably doesn't own one lol and most of these people only cares about the brand name
Yet, here you are ... pretending to care about this piece of shit.
Stay brainwashed. Typical Genesis driver LMFAO
My mom has this car, the seats are so comfortable it feels like you’re sitting on clouds. It so smooth and quiet also.
Is it fast?
@@AIMLL The mom?
@@daveinmandarin8948 😂 The car
I've had this car for six months. Formerly, I owned Lexus LS for the last ten years. I have nothing critical to say of Lexus. They make a fine car. But, the G90 is special in all the ways that people expect Lexus to be. I can't say enough good things about the G90. The things that have impressed me the most are acceleration, quietness, comfort and quality of the interior and ease of use for the entertainment and nav system. The sound system in the G90 is superb. It does lack a little oomph from the subwoofer, but the soundstage and precision/clarity of sound is unequalled by anything I've heard. It true, the Genesis badge doesn't have the cache of a Lexus or Mercedes. If you care about quality for the money over perception by the public, Genesis is building great cars.
What year is your LS? I recently traded my 13 LS460L for a 2020 RX. A lot of regret. Definitely want to go back to a full body sedan. The LS was superb car but miles was getting high. The new LS500 just won’t attract me at all. I’m leaning toward a slightly used g90. Seems like a great value. I drove the g80 many times it was ok I hope the g90 is more refined and
I have a 2017 Lexus Ls460 and love it but the interior is a bit too plain for me .
I love the interior of the 2017-2019 G90 and the colors they offer .
I seen this car, and legit almost crashed on the highway... I'm driving like 80, and i see this car pass me. I only seen G90 on the car. I couldn't keep up with it though :(.. My next car is a Genesis.. I like the Genesis..
All these comments are people who can't even afford a $40K+ car.
I Finn That's right. And usually say it's not worth...
At least Genesis isn't just literally rebadging old hyundais like Infiniti, Acura & Lincoln did when they started up... Genesis is actually refining their vehicles...
Aman Hello don’t forget Cadilac and Buick too lol both brand Love to rebadge either a Chevy or Opel
Refined garbage is still garbage.
Awesome car. To think a couple of years ago no one would look at Hyundai when buying... well any type of vehicle. Now for sports cars, luxury Sedans, SUVs and now Even competitive Luxury cars. They've got you all covered, definitely considering Hyundai for whatever I'm going next. I personally think this looks better than competition like the Cadillac CT6 or Lincoln Continental
Dean Grimsell I agree, it is a very nice car. You definitely get a lot for the money.
danger450 don't be a sour puss
Dean Grimsell It's called being educated and not buying a fake luxury car.
I'm good with my Caddy ;)
danger450 I have a Kia... And I can assure you it's far from a pile of shit
Can't understand why so many people hate this car???
I mean it's not perfect..so what?!? ..isn't it way cheaper than those German ones?!
Mahin Ahmed some idiots would pay thousand of dollars for a plastic badge. this car is bang for the money
There's a lot of stereotyping on the brand Hyundai but I will say they are catching up and are improving on the quality of their products. They do however copy way too much but let's see the outlook I currently own a Hyundai and I'm very happy with the features it has against its rivals
denziiey Well, if they copy too much. Tell that to the designer!!!
At least Hyundai is trying. Where are the full size sedans from Lincoln or Acura? Or Infiniti?
Starman998 you know what I'll give you that it's not as luxurious as the Germans yet but compared to a Acura and Lincoln I think this is a clear win
Do you know Lexus LS500h? Check it out
infotainment systems in Lexuses suck
Adam Reilly you buy a car not for drive but for infotainment? Wtf?? Go buy Play station then
Lincoln has a full size. Continental. But I heard ride quality sucks, & limited features
Used in 2020 these are an excellent value
I'm really surprised that you said you didn't like the design of the rims. The first thing I thought when looking at the G90 was "Wow, those are some beautiful rims!".
I thought the same exact thing. I can afford this car now 😁 reason I’m watching this review lol
If I had the money and had the choice between the two, I would definitely pick the Genesis. I'm all favor of The Underdogs. Hyundai's have come a long way, salute
Between what 2
Interior looks really nice. I love all that wood inlay.
Hey love this car and i have one, mercedez and bmw sucks everything maintenance and parts
i use to own 2015 mercedes E 350 formatic don't like it, but this car you don't know guys this car how nice and comfortable is
great job body for review.
Barshed Allay I agree this car is so smooth and quiet and it feels like you’re sitting on clouds.
Totally like your reviews. You aren't snobbish and badge humping ; and you stick to the facts of what the vehicle offers. For an exec like myself who makes decisions all day, I don't want to make 30 decisions on options on my car. Keep it simple works.
Wonderful car
I’m very glad for them
This shows how hardworking and persistent the Korean people are
doing an awesome job, Sofyan. thank you.
RAN to see this video! excited!
Awesome review Sofyan, as always.
Your review is always one of the best I've ever seen.
3.3t on a coupe model with awd. That will be a great seller.
Not the best looking luxury sedan out there, but I really like it. Great review as always!
Great video love all your work
Thanks for mentioning the stereo! I would think it would be great to comment even quickly on it in every car you review.
Fabulous detailed review. Great looking car
I have no experience with the other luxury cars but Ive been driving both previous and current version of this car, and I gotta say they are really evolving.
been waiting for this! thanks!!!!!
Thanks for your great video. One minor correction (and good news for some of us); the primary display actual has touch sensitivity but only on certain windows. For example, the QWERTY screen for entering a navigation destination is touch sensitive which is a real timesaver. The windows that allow for touch sensitivity should be evident by their green band around the data entry part of the window. Give it a try!
How is the head room on this car ?
I have a 2017 Ls460 and my hair is always touching the roof and that’s one thing i hate .
Soyfan, you said repeatedly that the G90 does not have a self-park system, but there is a button adjacent to the transmission that looks like a self-park activation button. Look at 12:25, it's the button under the camera view button. Just wondering if the car actually does have self-parking capability?
Traditional analog gauges are still good.
If you are in the Montgomery AL area and would be interested in the g90 or a g80 sport. I am a salesman at Capitol Hyundai and would love to show someone this car... it’s such a beautiful car in person
awesome review! the engine seems legit. a lot of car for the money
Most stock HID's are great headlights. LED's have a big difference in performance, depending on the vehicle. Are LED's good on this Genesis?
Another fine review redline. Folks we are getting a lot of information. Some of it may indeed be slightly biased. So what? there are plenty of others reviewing cars on the internet. I'm old school and this is truly the golden age of free information! So while I do respect the opinions of others on the comment section, lets try to be civil to one another! THANKS REDLINE
Such a beautiful vehicle!
Will probably step up to this once my Azera is ready for pasture. Love my Azera, this will be a nice upgrade in the next 5 years, once depreciation has had it's run.
Great Review Redline Reviews...Sofyan, I am soo surprised about how positive this review was. You even gave Acura the smack down...LOL...These are quite posh and choice. I would pick this car over an Acura or Lincoln for sure. I really can't wait for 18 G80 refresh and the G70 platform mate of the Kia Stinger.
Excellent review. Hit all bases.
Were you getting 16.5 mpg while driving around in sport mode?
Pretty good looking car.
Great review 😀👍🏽
I’m curious what’s the piece of black sensor in the grill. Does it have painted on chrome?
I like the Maserati lights. Very nice. The back looks like the old Equis. Jaguar is still more classy looking. Maybe they should do a Mercedes back lights. Now very nice too.
Great review as always! I'm curious if you guys plan to jump up to 4k videos anytime soon? Your videos already look quite nice. In 4k, they could be some of the best looking videos on youtube.
Thank you! If the demand gets high enough, we will happily switch to 4K. All our equipment can shoot in 4K but it just uses a lot more battery power and memory which is why we've been sticking to 1080P. If you guys keep asking for it, we can easily make the switch :)
Redline Reviews I would definitely prefer 4K as well.
Sofyan... before the 4K.... When the budget allows......... how about getting the camera man a Steadicam for a walk around the vehicle.... :-) I'm just about sea sick when watching the walk arounds .... As always... love the reviews!
Peace!
lol you can troll the driver or passenger so hard by controlling the entertainment system on the dash from the back seat hahahaahahahahaahaahhaha
awesome review
I wonder how much light the led lights in the rear seats would give !
People refuse to think that for the rest of time forever, only Merc, BMW and Audi can be the ones that build a luxury car. Times are changing. Look at what these 3 offer for 75 grand. Garbage. this is a great car for the price.
really great job genesis!!! beautiful car
Can any owners of this 2017 model year verify how their reliability has been and if anything has needed repair? Thanks.
Keep up the hard work
Excellent review....
I saw the Genesis G90 up close for the first time last week at a car show. It had a unique two- tone paint job [silver over black}. The car looked fantastic! Now, if it is as reliable as my Lexus has been, I would really want to own this car. My previous car was a 2003 Mercedes SL500. After several years of ownership, the car was breaking down almost every month and the repair bills were huge. Today, you can buy a low mileage 2017 G90 for $50-55k. Sounds like a very good deal to me.
can you also review the 8 cylinder model?
can't wait till you review the G80 sport . it looks sweet
I just bought one and yes it is. :-) The quality, fit, finish, materials, options and ride in my opinion is a steal for the price. When you put it into sport mode in literally turns into a completely different vehicle. I would highly recommend you test drive one, but be careful you will be tempted to buy. ;-)
the new genesis g90 is so amazing
Very good review and this car is very very good too! Genesis is one exellent new luxury brand! I like it
Q= saw a ‘19 for $50k.. only 14k miles...good deal?
I love your car videos
So much salt in this comments section. Is it that hard to believe that the Koreans have built a nice luxury car? No, it isn't S-class or LS levels of refinement, but the G90 is also significantly cheaper.
Seriously, you guys should just take this for what it's worth; Hyundai/Genesis built a nice luxury full-size sedan. Deal with it.
I’m a HUGE fan of the wheels, they go well w the “big body” theme that its aiming for. Similar to the new Lincoln wheels.
This car looks amazing; wheels and all.
Nice car review. 👍
G80 Sport review coming soon?
What happened to the TLX full review video?
This is a sweet car it was very surprising coming from Hyundai
I won't get it brand new but I'd wait a year or two and pick up something clean for alot less half it's price to have a sedan like this
I test drove this car at the dealership today. Very nice car especially the seats, they are quality. One thing that bothered me on this car was the acceleration. There is a noticeable turbo lag. Other than that, very nice car.
question... where the rear screens?!
I love the wheels.
i'm sorry i dont know to much about the tdch inside of engines (all though i am car guy andlove cars) but why is that black piece in the middle of he engine with 4 skrews on in spinning in different directions and also at different speeds not consistantly? is that normal just wanted to know.. great video as always :)
It's the camera. It's only picking it up @ 30 frames per second, so it can give the illusion that the part is spinning backwards. The part (crankshaft?) is spinning normally.
thanks for the info! :)
I sat in this at the auto show a few months a ago. Dont be fooled. i am 6' 6'' and i can fit behind myself comfortably! I hit the top in the back seat a bit, but i am amazed!
This one bad ass car them wheels amazing
my moms 2013 honda crosstour has the sideview mirrors that move down when you put it into reverse lol
Don't new Elantras or Sonatas have Android Auto?
beautiful car
Is this a ultimate?
I wish they would use this twin turbo engine on a Hyundai Sonata, that would be a wet dream.
Um. That would be entirely too much
What is the name of the intro song?
I miss the rear ottoman and rear TVs from earlier models
I'm sure they're options
Wow, really nice car.
you should do a review on the New Mercedes-Benz e class saloon
I wish for the same interior futures.
On the mid cycle update if they would redesign the front end and rear end and new wheels with massage seats it would be worth buying
4:25 "The chrome exhaust outlets are integrated into the exhaust"? I would hope so...
Geoffrey Giesbrecht Mercedes....
Great car, always love your reviews. I agree it lacks a 'pizaz' but most people buying this car don't want that. Otherwise they'd be in an M5 or E63. They want dignified luxury, which this car provides.
I think the headlamps with bi-xenon bulbs looks stunning on the G-90 than old-fashioned like the first-gen Hyundai Genesis standard halogen headlamps. It's more of a self-conscious preference to want LED headlamps because, in 2004, Audi was the first-ever brand to use LED technology inside a forward headlamp, and LED headlamps aren't a spring chicken, either, as opposed to being dated in addition to xenons.
Kinda sad the best feature of this car is the audio system and gets a 10 second review, I drive all the top of line sedans from RR, Bentley etc, this had the BEST sounding sound system I've heard in any factory sedan
Genesis offers Creme and Chesnut Interior colours as well. He didn't mentioned that.
Sof, do you think they will come out with a GS type of car like Lexus did?
amill1563 The G80 competes with the Lexus GS, Audi A6, BMW 5 series, MB E-Class, and Volvo S90. So yes, they made a GS competitor.
Germans claim to be world class and all, but why is it that Hyundai has made a few world firsts, along with many engine awards
I haven't seen Benz or Audi on wards 10 best engines in a while
World first - first car to feature a cabin C02 sensor (Hyundai Genesis was the first to bring it out)
In Australia according to ANCAP it's the safest car ever recorded in 20 odd years
Hyundai's AEB is far more intuitive than those from other rivals
People are just badge snobs - But unfortunately Hyundai tech trumphs some of the competition
If the germans were so serious about world class tech - then why did it take Hyundai to introduce a crucial piece of safety tech we should have had around 10 years ago - Germans and Swedish are a bit behind the "safety" times i think
I'm yet to see Hyundai's break down here in Australia, it's usually everything else in between that does
Audi, VW, Toyota, Ford, Holden, Merc, etc
People just don't know HOW to maintain cars, so of course any car will break. Plenty of Hyundai excel's still running around with 4 - 500,000km on'em 😂
Yet most german cars end up in the scrap yard because they can't handle Australian climate
The 3.3T V6 is quieter and has way more torque at low engine speeds than the V8. IMO the V6 is better suited to the quietness and smoothness this vehicle exudes. You talk about it riding "like a boat" -- how does it compare to the Lexus LS500 in that regard? I drove an LS460 and it's not even in the same conversation as the G90. As others have probably already stated, it DOES have air suspension.
Do people still hire drivers? How does that work? You hire for the day?
Why are you criticizing the turn signals switches, yes they are plastic, just Mercedes-Benz has in their S-Class as well. When was the last time you inside one? Even the S600 Maybach has them in plastic.
How come I don't see no CD player for this Genesis..
What’s a cd ?
Hey Sofyan! Do you plan on reviewing the new Alfa Romeo Giulia (hopefully) Quadrifoglio? I'd love to see it!
Actually yes, we'll have one sent to us later this month ;)
Redline Reviews Awesome! 😍
Redline Reviews Hell yes! Cant wait!
Review a 2017 Nissan Armada platinum
Damn lots of salt in the comments lmao
Just call me MR. SALTY
The German car enthusiasts are a breed onto there own. Talk to any mechanic that works on all brands and they will tell you to run away from German cars. What else does a person need to know to make a smart decision. Resale value is the only downside to the Genesis. The Japan made cars are resale Kings but the Genesis actually have better driving dynamics. If you drive your cars to over 100 k get a Genesis in my opinion.
