2020 NEW Genesis G90 vs Mercedes S-Class // When The Bargain Meets The Boss

James and Thomas compare the NEW 2020 Genesis G90 with the 2019 Mercedes-Benz S560. Both cars have V8s and boast a ton of luxury features. Both are AWD, and both make the occupants feel like a million dollars. But the Genesis is new on the block, and for 55,000 Canadian dollars less, can it hope to compete? The boys explore how well the cars drive, and if their price comes with any catches. Watch to see the outcome!

"The Genesis does feel that it is lacking some identity, and that's something I hope will change over time..." C'mon dude...Mercedes has been building luxury cars for over century. Hyundai has been building luxury cars for 10 years. And look how far they've come in that time...hell, look at how far they've come since 2017 when the Genesis brand was born. Give the Koreans 100 years and then talk to me about identity. I was never one to pay for a name brand; I have always been about getting the most bang for the buck. In the US, a G90 Ultimate is $76700. A comparably equipped S560 would be $145000. The G90 is 90% of the car that the S class is (with better initial quality according to JD Powers and a way better warranty) for 53% of the price. That's why I have a 2018 G90 parked in my garage.

[@manaspradhan8041]

I think you're confusing what they meant about identity. They weren't talking about genesis' brand value, rather the lack of personality of the car. They talk more about it, how the car feels a bit generic/ reverse engineered s-class. There is a lack of original thought, though I think it will be fine in the long run. Taking an example from phones; Xiaomi started by trying to copy design cues from iphones and have been at the cutting edge ever since with the Mi Mix series.

I recently bought a 2016 Genesis AWD with the ultimate package and I absolutely love it. $25k with 7 year warranty is an insane deal for what you get.

[@TheRickJames]

I bought the same exact car last week 2016 Genesis Black Ultimate with tech package, traded my sonata limited for it. Its certified so i get the rest of the warranty also. 1 owner low miles. 26k as priced and im paying a lot less with the 14k trade, the payments are about the same as my Sonata was. I didn't think I would get one for a few years but got a great deal! I LOVE THIS CAR! This thing grips and rips and man do the seats make a huge difference, and the heads up on the windshield is what sold me on the test drive.

[@TheRickJames]

Funny people dont realize how fast Hyundais are either, every Sonata ever made did over 120mph, the first Genesis did around 157 and ours do about 174mph, 0-60 in 5.9sec that is FAST for a sedan of any kind, more than needed thats why the 5.0 is really just a bragging right the 3.8 GDi HTRAC is perfect for me... Already sacrificing some gas mileage.

The worst Mercs ever built are, in my experience still slightly above Mediocre in terms of reliability. I think there is some sort of Trump conspirancy trash talk going on and in due time the "Made in America, is made with quality" kinda stuff will be everywhere. Not only for Mercs, but also for Toyota and Lexus. Just a little tin foil thought.

[@philipweber9545]

@@hiiambarney4489 I'm just saying because I like trying to look upon the reliability ratings of cars (often getting mixed reviews), I read these consumer reports and blah blah blah and they point otherwise. But it's just generalizing. You have your own experience with your own cars and stuff like reliability can vary wildly from model to generation and year, so it can still be 2 sided. I understand thr cocept of pariotism and believing that if that car was made in your country it must be good, but just everything I've read and been told says that most Japanese and especially those made by Toyota are tanks. I don't speak from personal experience I just repeat others. Have a nice day :]

[@Matt-vw9nd]

The exterior design of the G90 is absolutely incredible. So unique. I love those straight, simple headlights (and extended DRLs) paired with the diamond grille that stretches to the front splitter. To me, the G90's exterior hit the nail on the head over the S-class. It's understated, yet with just enough flair that people won't mistake it for an E-class or a big C-class. Interior still goes to the Merc, and it better at that price point. Bang-up job by the Koreans. I really hope people start paying them attention. It's unfortunate that they created these incredible luxury sedans that won't sell as well in a world dominated by boring crossovers.

[@yolo_life_2_u]

I have G80 which I bought it 8 months ago and I love my car. It has so many options not only safety related but also the ones that makes driving much easier. Definitely love my new car

[@caltech25]

Just want to say that I love my Genesis G90 5.0 - I got it as a lease return (2019) for an absolute bargain at $57K CAD. I'm not going to lie - there are times when I miss my Camaro that was wrapped in Rolling Thunder color changing vinyl (which I traded towards the Genesis). Almost every time I took that car out, people would give me a thumbs up or do a double take. But after two Canadian winters and numerous spin outs on the 407, I decided to go the more practical route. The Genesis is best described as "stately" - it looks okay when parked by itself, but the car can only be appreciated in full when you see it on the road beside other cars. It's size and overall design language make you realize that the Genesis is something special, and anybody that actually sits inside of it is blown away by the quality. Sure it doesn't attract as much attention as a BMW or Mercedes, but I have had several people ask me if it was a Bentley. Plus, in the 10 months I have owned the car, there hasn't even been so much as a hiccup - the warranty and concierge service is out of this world. If you factor in that virtually nobody else has one (less than 1000 sold in Canada), you have a car that is truly unique and worth every penny. PS: I really hope the 2023 Genesis G90 comes to North America - that car is the best looking full sized sedan I have ever seen. If somebody offered me an S Class or a New G90, I would actually chose the latter despite the lack of brand recognition. It is just that good looking.

As a Jag owner, I love my car, I love the luxury features, but the constant maintenance headaches and problems the car has is what attracts me much more to the Genesis rather than a German rival. The better service and better warranty at a much lower price point plus running on 87 octane gas is a huge plus, its a cost saving reliable luxury car which you do not really find in terms of the running costs for other brands, the only thing is whether I can get over the lack of power in the Genesis, yeah 420 is plenty, but my supercharger really makes me happy...and the potential to have nearly 600hp versus a 420 hp genesis with less torque is a hard argument, so I guess the bigger question beyond brand reputation is faster and higher maintenance versus cheaper and less of a headache.

High speed stability, effortless way in which it can be driven at extreme speeds with zero stress, etc. is what makes German high end luxury sedans better than any other. Sure you can make a car that feels nice stationary or at low speeds, that has high quality materials in the interior, etc. It's not like Germany has special wood and special cows. But making a car that feels rock solid at high speeds and during extreme driving, is a bit more difficult. The autobahn shows you the difference between true luxury cars and knock offs built for price undercutting. Also note that the G90 is a brand new development, while the S class is in the last year of it's life cycle. New model is already being developed and spied on roads in Germany. So you're comparing the beginning of a generation to the end of a generation. Not to mention that everything about the Genesis that makes it feel as good as the German competitors has been COPIED from those same German competitors. All the materials, designs solutions, details, etc. have a clear "knock off" sense to them. Which is not surprising, considering how many ex-German car company engineers were employed by Kia/Hyundai in the last decade or so, which led to those companies going from making really crappy cars to really good ones overnight. That's what makes them lose their value, because these cars didn't get to the point they're at now through years and years of development and R&D, figuring out what works and what doesn't, solving engineering problems, etc. They got to this point by buying the competitor cars, taking them apart, and copying every part of them, with just enough changes to avoid copyright claims and patent breaches.

[@arkongdrkong7331]

You talking like you drove the car high speed. Stop spreading lies

[@unknownunknowns]

ARkong DRkong I don’t think it’s spreading lies because after all MB has access to the autobahn hence the reason why it’s priced that way.

[@Ken4JCML]

I even loved Hyundai Sonata 2013 compaired to other cars in it's class. It just gives you the feeling that you can go anywhere long distance day and night with the car and feel comfortable and relaxed like the car is with you.

[@jamesw1659]

Excellent and very fair review...nice job, guys. You touched on virtually everything relevant in comparing these two. One thing I do differ with you on, though...you opine that the Genesis cars lack an identity. Since they've pulled their top-tier design team together, I think they actually are creating a unique design language and positioning for their line. It has no legacy, because it's new, and it has necessarily overlap with other competitors. Considering the talent they have working on these, it seems clear that that is specifically their mission. While it is true that the Benz has an identifiable brand feel and aesthetic (some of which you associate with them just because they've been doing it for awhile), it seems in some ways a little dated to my eyes, or perhaps like it's trying a little too hard. Take, for example, the glossy dash with the bank of round a/c vents. I think the understated styling of the G90 is actually prettier in some respects, particularly the interior, and seems a little more Audi-modern than the Mercedes. Just my take. But, I really enjoyed hearing your view(s)...please keep up the fine work.

[@ashyelbos]

The best intro of ANY car review. EVER!!!

[@questfortruth9239]

i got the 2015 ultimate 5.0 and it drives amazing! i'm loving the 2020 look tho

[@kanamekuran23]

I would personally go for the genesis. In the luxury car realm, the Mercedes is just so common. The genesis is different than everything in its class and I can stand out from the rest. Badge snobs can say what they want but at least genesis owners won’t have to step foot in the dealership or service department. They get the 10year/100k mile warranty and genesis and Hyundai are cheaper to run in the long run.

[@pbjracing14yearsago49]

I agree. The S class reminded me too much of an e class. The genesis is so unique in its design, inside and out. I would get the g90 over a new ls500 hands down.

[@arthurx333]

In the end though.. "Hey have you met that guy kaname?" "Yeah that Hundai guy?" You're still driving a hundai. Grats!

Bro beleive me Genesis is crap. I tried buying the G70 and I did not like it. I ended up with the 2019 Lexus es350, unless you ride an audi, mercedez, lecus or a bmw and a genesis, don't make comments based on what these people are saying because you might actually end up buying a car you don't want. Beleive me I've been there and thank God I did not end up making a mistake

In the intro, the genesis somehow looks more premium than the s class would have.

[@-Muhammad_Ali-]

Man I love that Benz. Love its look from all angles. I wonder how the ride is

[@adams1696]

1:45 The s class actually has a lower drag coefficient than mclaren so its more aerodynamic :p

[@hassaanzafar4160]

That's true but the surface area is much higher so the overall aerodynamic efficiency is worse

[@dariocastro9079]

size and weight... also matters XD

[@arvinreddyjakkamreddy2102]

But you have to think about how the mclaren has a bunch of downforce which would result in a higher drag coefficient

[@Basics_of_Gameology]

@@arvinreddyjakkamreddy2102 McLaren's downforce and drag come from the active rear spoiler (except the 540c 570s 570GT which has no active rear wing). It can tug away when not at full braking or high-speed cornering.

[@mirkomarjanovic3234]

Front of a mclaren is supposed to be aerodynamic, but the rear is specifically made non aerodynamic, to push the rear wheels down. That's what spoilers are made for. To make a car LESS aerodynamic.

[@jonathanquao2878]
