I own a Genesis G90 5.0 Htrac Ultimate, Genesis G90 I love the naturally aspirated V8. Genesis I love it, Genesis GV80 as well, G70, G80. G90 has a Lexicon Sound System, same as the Rolls Royce Phantom, Genesis is in a league of its own, people can keep a S-Class, BMW 7 series, Audi A8, Lexus LS until Lexus puts a V8 back in the engine bay, the V6 drone no think you.

S class drives better tho. And nicer styling in the inside. You get a great deal on g90s tho. 70k to 80k usd vs 100k to 120k for Mercedes s class. We ended up getting a used s class for 70k and we love it. Rides better and has more of an identity than the genesis.

@@daveruby2854 That's cool, I have driven a S-Class they are wonderful cars, but when it comes to reliability and high mileage Genesis and Lexus LS will reign Supreme.

Lexus LS 500h 9/10 If I could sit in the back seat and enjoy my life and the car, I would. I'm surprised the color of the interior LS was not talked about. The only other car manufacturer I know that actually comes with that bright, different, eye catching color from the manufactuer is Rolls-Royce. Although, both car manufacturers could use ambient lighting, much like their European counter parts.

Not sure the hybrid LS was the right choice for this comparison. The 3.5L TTV6 is the more evenly matched power train to Genny's 3.3 though it makes close to a hundred more horsepower and torque.

I think it showed that the Lexus hybrid is not that much more efficient.

[@Thigster]

@@wannabedal-adx458 Finding the "most efficient" or "best value" luxury sedan was neither the theme nor intent of this comparison. If Genesis truly wants to be considered a major contender in the luxury car space then the last thing they should want is to be considered the "bargain" of the group. In reality, folks shopping in this vehicle class and price range usually aren't willing to compromise opulence, build quality and prestige for the sake of saving a few thousand bucks. #LS500

[@lightshunshine3861]

Both cars have their pros and cons but they are still fine luxury cars. According to most reviewers, in terms of luxury that the Lexus LS500 is superior in interior and has good reliability (even beating German products) while the Genesis g90 is superior in exterior and has advanced technology (even competing with German products). People who can buy and maintain these luxury cars must be rich bosses so the price issue won't be a problem, if the problem then you're NOT their level (their market) thats why these cars are most used by rich ppl or even conglomerates

[@bun-n-cheese1290]

Seems like comparing the non hybrid LS would be more reasonable. There is a 20K gap in the price of the cars which really doesn't put them in the same conversation. It's like comparing an AMG E class to a regular 5 series.

[@gregst.a4144]

Excellent review! Detailed and well balanced, showcasing the pros and cons of both sedans...I agree that the LS interior materials are superior to G90 and while the exterior does not blow me away Is nicer than it’s opponent. The G90 gets points on style execution and an airier looking cabin. Both sets of wheels are absolutely atrocious at this price point!

I have been down with lexus 21 years nobody can touch them never fails. Hyundai is cool but lexus leaves no doubt lexus wins but genesis is good

If you're calling a Hyundai luxury brand genesis a Hyundai than call lexus a toyota 🤡

[@nicolumens3311]

The LS screams avalon as soon as you see it. The exterior of lexus as a whole has no separation identity from Toyota. That's always been my main problem with it.. besides not having an es f sport in awd.. the literal only reason I'm considering it over the genesis is the obvious reliability of the Toyota family. The cost to maintain is the lowest for lexus out of all luxury brands.. I'm not sure what to expect with genesis but Hyundai ranks close to the low middle so and have to assume it's not going to be terrible.

[@IJUSTWANNAFLYDJIDRONES71]

[@ericd.4460]

I currently drive a Lexus GS 350 which I partially bought because I thought that it was incredibly good looking, and then the rest of the reason was that it's a Lexus. I have had problems with this car, so that surprised me. When Lexus changed to this body style on the LS, they lost me, that's an ugly car, and the sales figures say that I'm exactly right. I choose the Genesis.

I feel sorry for you that your GS 350 is faulty, was it brand new or used? The GS 350 series need a careful maintenance. I own the CT200h 2011, changed oil every year (that's the only maintenance I do, haven't changed brakes or anything else yet), still smooth like fresh from the factory!

both are beautiful and statuary cars, I prefer the side of the Japanese but the back and the front of the Korean is nicer to me.
