The 2026 Genesis G90 is a full-size luxury sedan with a four-door configuration and generous rear-seat space. It competes in the segment against models such as the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, BMW 7 Series, and Lexus LS 500, where comparisons often focus on ride quality, interior materials, and performance characteristics. For the 2026 model year, the G90 continues largely unchanged from the previous generation, with select refinements including minor exterior adjustments and a new top trim. The base powertrain features a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 engine rated at 375 horsepower, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission with all-wheel drive standard on every trim. An available higher-output version incorporates a 48-volt e-supercharger to produce 409 horsepower.

The infotainment system centers on a 12.3-inch touchscreen that includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, Bluetooth connectivity, a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot, and a Bang & Olufsen sound system equipped with up to 26 speakers. Updates for 2026 encompass revised driver-assistance alerts and enhancements to Highway Driving Assist functionality, along with the addition of a Prestige Black trim that includes unique blacked-out exterior elements and interior accents. Genesis Connected Services integrates with a mobile app for remote vehicle start, climate adjustments, and status monitoring, supported by over-the-air updates that apply improvements to infotainment and safety features as they become available.
