For 2023, the #GenesisG90 is looking to challenge #MercedesBenz with the latest #G90. It features all the the luxury, technology, and craftsmanship that you get from the #Mercedes, however #Genesis significantly undercuts the #Benz in price and it doesn't give up anything in terms of design and appeal.

Happy pre-Thanksgiving everyone! Hope you all have a safe and relaxing holiday with friends/family! We'll be enjoying some much needed time off after a crazy 3 straight weeks of travel but hopefully you guys enjoy this very detailed comparison between two of the latest flagship luxury sedans. We're hoping to get our hands on the new BMW 7-Series for a full week very soon. Until then, get used to this new world where comparing a $100,000+ Mercedes to a Genesis is normal. It was a very close race for us and you cannot go wrong with either vehicle!

Very far in 7 years. It took Lexus a little bit longer to reach competitive parity with the S-Class. Not until the 2000s with the LS430 did Lexus really have a true S-Class competitor in my opinion. Genesis has been progressing much quicker than Lexus compared to when that brand was the same age in the 90s.

Fully agree with this review. I bought the G90, and would have leased the S Class instead had the dealers and leasing agencies in my country offered terms equivalent to what you would find in the US. Overall for me it worked out to make much more sense to buy the G90, which I absolutely love, and do not feel left out of the S Class at all. It is in fact better in some ways, the G90, offers better seat comfort than the non-upgraded S-class seats, it has a much simpler and more convenient tech layout (My job is entirely tech oriented so I am not tech shy), and gives you all the key features I would view as essential in this category as standard so you're not having to custom order anything or dealing with bad decisions by the buyers at dealerships, auto close doors are actually really nice when you get into them, and offers a much better warranty. Also, to some degree having the Genesis name badge is more low key and modern, and potentially prevents me from looking like I'm living some egregiously more luxurious lifestyle than my boss and staff.

At this price, only the LS could potentially compete, but it's nowhere near as nice inside or out. The 7 series/A8/S Class at the same price as a fully loaded G90 would have basically zero options so it wouldn't even be close. I tried optioning out an S class to the level of a base G90 and it was over 50% more expensive, it was a $50k-$60k difference at which point unless you love cheap flat touch screens instead of carefully designed and manufactured high quality buttons and switches, and if you prefer RGB LEDs like the ones in 90s limos and in your computer tower, I don't see the benefits.

I was set to go for the MB S580, but am now leaning towards the Genesis. There were a few things better about the MB - performance slightly better (but then will I really care), but there were just as many on the Genesis - displays look much better on it. The thing that really gets me is both the price and the packages. I am a big lover of the options - audio system, etc. The Genesis has it all if you pick the top package for about $100k. This includes the 23-upgraded speaker B&O system, heads up display, back-seat package, etc. Truthfully, on the MB, building out a model and pricing is almost impossible because they have such a bewildering array of options. When I put together the package I wanted including upgraded 4D Burmeister stereo, Napa Leather, etc, I came out around $150k and still not sure if I got anything. So now we are talking $50k difference. Plus, I know Genesis will be less expensive own compared to the Mercedes. One thing he didn't discuss is the comparison of the two top-end stereo systems. The upgraded Burmeister on the MB, the 23-speaker B&O on the Genesis. Wondered if anyone had any input there.

This comparison review you produced was well done! My following comments are to assist anyone who is strongly considering purchasing a Genesis G90. I am not affiliated with Genesis other than being a repeat owner of both these models. My wife has just received took her 2024 G90 E Supercharged. Its her new daily driver. It just happened to be delivered to my residence on my birthday. I had some fun with that. I'm not looking to debate whose brand is the best. This G90 is closing in on Mercedes and BMW. I currently own both those brands, too. My daily driver is a 2020 BMW Alpina, which I thoroughly enjoy! She previously had a 2021 G90 5.0, which she absolutely enjoyed. It was unfortunately totaled on interstate 95 NB, doing 60. My wife and youngest son walked away without a scratch, bruise, bump, cut, or any pain. I am beyond grateful, and the car really held up from a safety aspect. That alone speaks volumes for this model! So, for instance, the tech in the 2020 Alpina is just so complicated. The 2024 G90 tech blows it out of the water. It cost me a 1/4 of a million dollars to make that hands-on assessment!😮 So, Genesis has in recent years recruited some top design talent from within the luxury car industry, with a purpose! 😮 Over the years, I have had several S Class models (one being a 2018 Maybach), BMW 7 Series, Aston Martins, and two Bentley's, which I should have stopped at one. Believe me, all these luxury brands have their downfalls. I have spent a boat load of monies learning this reality. I am a car collector for over 40 years now. I've been car enthusiast since I was a youngster. Cars have been a passion. My first nice car purchase was a 1962 C1 corvette in the late 70s, paid $4,500.00 for it, and still I still own it today. I used it to catch the eye of my beautiful bride of almost 40 years now. Little did she know what was in store for us down the road! My prize collection is my wife, our 7 children (no twins) and 5 grandchildren. They are my greatest accomplishments in life! You highlighted both vehicles extremely accurately. I really appreciate the new G90's interior design and quality. It has a modern flair to it, and with the white interior it attempts to compete with the white interior in my 2017 Bentley Flying Spur. So, if you are on the fence regarding a G90 purchase, you will not be disappointed. It's a great value for the money. I would recommend upgrading to the E Supercharged model if it's in your budget. The following is for the super car enthusiasts out there. Hope it can be taken as an encouragement. Just an FYI, I was homeless at 17 in 1974, no inheritance funding came my way. Let's just say that as life has gone on, I have been very fortunate to become well funded. I am driven, but much credit has to go to my wife and the many great dedicated people surrounding us! They have shared in the wealth as they earned it! Its allowed me to keep filling up the warehouse I call my garage. 53 stalls with cars in them and still room for a few more. I have respect money without loving it. I love what it has allowed me to do for my family, friends, and helping many people in need!

Of course the S-class is like the king of luxury sedans, always been the benchmark, but I'm glad to see Genesis step it up from when they started back in 2017. They had a good start, but over the years, their cars have been getting close to that of the S-class, which is saying a lot :) Hyundai is obviously very confident in Genesis, and I hope Hyundai invests a lot of money into the brand in the future years to come. I mean competitors like the S-class, the BMW 7 Series, the Audi A8 are among some of the best, but Genesis is definitely getting close to that. Acura and Lexus don't even come close, I mean the RLX was nice in 2014, but was nothing like the original flagship Legend (the RLX is not even being sold anymore), and the Lexus LS is nowhere near the luxury that Genesis is offering, even though it looks nice on the outside for me at least.

[@PanameraTurboSEHybrid]

Infiniti didn't hire several of those experienced German executives/designers that Hyundai ended up picked up to help them out.

I've been saying this for years at the end of the day its still a Hyundai.. when Merc will still be a Mercedes....Period...

[@PanameraTurboSEHybrid]

I mean, Genesis is always going to be known as Hyundais (only to those who knows about the history), even in 10+ years. Because Hyundai is the parent company, Genesis is using Hyundai resources to produce Genesis vehicles, and Genesis seeks Hyundai Execs approval for big decisions. So until Genesis and Kia Execs decide to be on their own like what Ferarri did. Genesis will forever have the soul of Hyundai. Forever. This applies to any sub vehicle company with a parent. No one should be ashamed about owning/driving a Genesis that people can usually call a Hyundai. In reality, it's true. Genesis isn't a new up-and-coming startup from unknown randoms that blew up going mainstream.
