Meet the 2017 Genesis G80 and G90. These cars fit perfectly in the luxury vehicle world. I was so impressed with the comfortable rides they provide, and all the latest features.

There’s nothing inside that looks shared with the Hyundai market either. The G90 looks and feels expensive inside, like a proper luxury car should. Here are some of the specs:
EXTERIOR DESIGN
In crafting the Genesis G90, the Prestige Design Group aimed to capture the vehicle’s strength and originality, while presenting fresh appeal through innovative styling and athletic proportions.

From the front, the G90 identity is easily distinguished by its bold ‘CREST’ grille, and crowned with the winged Genesis emblem. Ideally proportioned, the G90 combines a prominent hood with short overhangs, a design feature that accentuates the model’s strength and presence. Available full-LED signature headlights (V8 model) flow from fascia to fender – a key design element of the new Genesis brand. On the lower fascia, standard LED Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) add a distinctive illumination signature.

A bold arcing character line spans the length of G90, accentuating the vehicle’s dynamic profile. Refined use of chrome elements also serve to create an elegant and premium appearance, along with standard 19-inch alloy wheels. In the rear, chrome dual asymmetrical exhaust tips integrated in the lower bumper balance the vertical LED taillights providing a modern luxury feel. Even more, the clean lines of the G90 yield the additional benefit of an exceptional 0.27 coefficient of drag for minimized wind noise and enhanced fuel efficiency, a best-in-class for the segment.

The G90 is available in six colors created to accentuate its distinctive lines. Ranging from Casablanca White and Caspian Black to Manhattan Brown, Santiago Silver, London Gray and Patagonia Blue. The color palette was painstakingly matched to its interior environments and sophisticated material selections.

INTERIOR DESIGN
Effortless ergonomics, interior design harmony, convenience and luxurious comfort are seamlessly combined to craft the Genesis G90 interior design. Virtually every element of the interior focuses on the passenger’s needs, from the intuitive horizontal layout of driver controls to meticulous craftsmanship with precision stitching, and a premium material selection perfectly complimented by an elegant interior color palette.

Extensive consideration was given to material selection for the G90. The highest-quality, authentic materials adorn the cabin, with ease of operation and intrinsic beauty as fundamental priorities for the interior. Occupants are surrounded by genuine wood accents, including the leather-stitched instrument panel. Even the Lexicon® audio speaker grilles convey an ultra-luxury feel, precision-machined out of stainless steel.

Passenger space is a key component of interior comfort and design, and the new G90 has improved spaciousness, derived in part from a generous 4.5-inch increase in wheelbase for greater passenger comfort. This increase in wheelbase also resulted in reduced overall overhangs. Inside the cabin, this translates to superior front headroom (41.1 inches) and legroom (46.3 inches) when compared with key competitors.

Out of the pair of them, the G90 is my absolute favorite. My kids and hubby loved it as well. This car was super hard to give back. If you ever get the time or are in the market for a new car, go test drive and see for yourself how amazing these cars are.

The G80 is a rear-wheel-drive, midsize luxury sedan that seats five people. Hyundai recently spun off Genesis as a standalone luxury brand, and the 2017 Genesis G80 is one of the first models to come out under Hyundai.
The G80 is smaller than the G90 but still very roomy. For those seeking value and something distinct from established luxury brands, the G80 is a compelling choice. A 311-hp 3.8-liter V-6 with an eight-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive is standard, and a 420-hp 5.0-liter V-8 is optional; all-wheel drive is available, but only with the V-6 engine. The G80’s long standard-equipment list includes an eight-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a head-up display, navigation, automated emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control.

Safety is important. Hyundai’s new Genesis G80 and G90 were recognized for their top rate safety features by the Car Connection, which awarded one of their rarely awarded perfect scores. Federal and IIHS tests also gave perfect scores to both vehicles in all five of their safety tests.

In closing, these are vehicles suitable for families, cruising, classy events, and bachelor’s/bachelorettes. There’s not much else that can be said, other than the Genesis brand is sure to last a long time.

I give the Genesis a 9 out of 10. For more information visit https://www.genesis.com/us/en/genesis.html
