Overview
About the Genesis G90 3.5T E-Supercharger
The G90 is the most convincing argument yet that a luxury flagship doesn't need a German badge. Genesis's approach with the second-generation car was to skip the horsepower war entirely — the top engine is a 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 with an electric supercharger, making 409 hp — and compete on refinement, design and equipment instead.
The electric supercharger is the technically interesting part: a 48-volt compressor spins up in under 0.2 seconds to fill in boost before the exhaust-driven turbos come on song, eliminating the lag that plagues large-displacement-substitute engines. It's paired with a 48-volt active anti-roll system that keeps the body flat without punishing the ride.
Everything else is about isolation. Double-glazed acoustic glass, active road-noise cancellation using microphones and the audio system, an electronically controlled suspension that reads the road ahead with a forward camera, and rear seats with a reclining function, massage, and a fold-out ottoman. The interior design — a single sweeping dashboard, knurled metal, wool and open-pore wood — is genuinely distinctive rather than derivative.
Its market position is priced deliberately: the G90 undercuts a comparably equipped S-Class or 7 Series by a substantial margin, and Genesis bundles maintenance and valet service to remove the residual-value anxiety. It won't out-badge a Mercedes at a hotel entrance. It will out-equip and out-quiet one, and that's an increasingly persuasive trade.
How to use
Owner's walkthrough
Practical guide for everything a new owner asks on day one — starting the car, finding the gear selector, drive modes, infotainment, driver aids, and easy-to-miss features.
02
Where the gear selector is (and how to use it)
Console shifter with N/D notches and a paddle gate; Genesis adds a crystal jewel-cut dial on most trims.
03
Drive modes
Drive modes are accessed via the crystal drive-mode dial on the console. Available modes typically include Eco, Comfort, Sport, Custom, Snow. Each mode reshuffles throttle mapping, steering weight, adaptive dampers (if equipped), exhaust valves, and stability-control thresholds. On performance trims, an 'Individual' or 'Custom' slot lets you save your favorite combination so you can recall it with one click instead of nesting through menus.
04
Cluster & head-up display
The driver display is a Part of the unified 27-inch panel. Use the steering-wheel left thumb-pad to cycle layouts (Classic, Sport, Navigation, Minimal). When in Sport / Track mode the cluster automatically swaps to a wide tach with gear indicator and tire-temperature readout. The head-up display brightness, height, and content are configured from Settings → Displays → HUD.
05
Infotainment & voice control
Infotainment runs on 27-inch OLED unified display. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard; pair from Settings → Connections the first time, then it auto-connects whenever your phone is in range. "Hey Genesis" wakes the in-car assistant for nav, climate, calls, and messaging without touching the screen. The main display also hosts vehicle-specific apps: tire pressures, performance data recorder (where fitted), drive-mode customizer, and the camera views.
06
Driver assistance
Standard driver aids include adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. Toggle each system individually from the driver-assist menu (steering-wheel left-pad → Assistance). Highway-driving assist (hands-off in marked lanes on supported roads), automatic lane-change on indicator tap, traffic-jam assist for stop-and-go, and a 360° surround camera with transparent-hood mode are all available and worth enabling for the first time before driving in heavy traffic.
07
Fueling
Premium unleaded (91 or 93 octane) is required on Genesis performance models — the engine timing is set for it and lower octane causes audible knock and reduced power. Fuel-cap release is a button on the driver door panel; the cap is capless (just push the nozzle in).
08
Keys & phone-as-key
Beyond the physical key, this car supports Genesis Digital Key 2. Set up phone-as-key from the Genesis Connected Services app: it provisions a secure credential to your phone's wallet so a tap on the door handle unlocks the car and placing the phone on the wireless charging pad authorizes ignition. You can also share temporary keys to family members (with optional speed and area limits on performance trims) directly from the app.
09
First-week tips & easy-to-miss features
A few things every new owner tells us they wish they'd known on day one:
- Set up the head-up display brightness and content (speed + nav arrows + assist status) the first day — once it's tuned to you it's the most useful screen in the car.
- Download the brand app (Genesis Connected Services) and pair it with your VIN before your first long trip — remote climate, charging/fuel-level checks, and remote lock-status save you walking back to the garage in winter.
