Hyundai's newly born luxury marque Genesis has revealed its
first ever and flagship model of its upcoming line-up, the G90 luxury sedan.
This model is significantly premium-looking and loaded with exciting luxury and
safety features than the model it replaces, the Hyundai Equus.
The exterior design of the new luxury sedan is predominantly
borrowed from Hyundai's recent Vision G concept. The styling is largely
upscale, thanks to a drawn-out hood and an overlooking hexagonal grille with
chrome finish. The angular window line and a neat silhouette gives the car its
personality, while stylish multi-spoke alloys and vertically-flowing tail lamps
are interesting touches.
On the inside, the level of premium-feel is ensured as the
exterior. The chocolate-brown leather upholstery gets a great deal of
wood-finish and chrome accents. The center console of the attractive dashboard flows
into the rear seat area separating two electrically-operated seats. Other
features include a Lexicon sound system, 12.3-inch infotainment screen,
wireless charging, and a three-zone “smart” climate control system.
In terms of engine line-up, the G90 sedan will feature
Lambda 3.8 V6 GDi, Lambda 3.3 V6 T-GDi, and a Tau 5.0 V8 engines. Of the lot,
the new 3.3-litre featuring a twin-turbo setup producing 370 hp and 510 Nm of
max power and torque is notable. An 8-speed automatic gearbox and a permanent
all-wheel drive system is standard for the entire line-up. The company claims
that the NVH (Noise-Vibration-Harshness) levels have been significantly reduced
than that of Equus, and is equipped with triple door seals and double glass
insulation to ensure a comfortable and quiet ride.
