The revised G90, the crown jewel of Hyundai’s luxury domain Genesis, broke cover on Tuesday in South Korea, just two years after the initial model was introduced omn the market.
Changes made to both the front and back of the car are significant, to say the least. When seen from the front, the new G90 comes with an entirely different appearance, thanks to the strangely shaped crest grillethat gives the car a more aggressive look, thanks to a widened stance.
Both the headlights and the taillights have been modified as well, and the new version of the G90 gets wing-mounted turn signals. Nine exterior colors, two of which are new, will be used on the G90 facelift.
The 2020 G90 is the first Genesis car that will use over-the-air updates for maps and software, marking the carmaker’s entrance in the connected auto world. Other functionalities like Kakao I, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Mirror Link are also featured.
All the tech that make cars these days seem ready to drive themselves have made it into the G90 as well: Lane Follow Assist, Rear Cross-traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, and Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist. Safety wise, the model comes packing 10 standard airbags.
Hyundai did not say anything about the powertrain to underpin the new G90, but given the fact this is only a facelift it’s likely the engines on the current generation will be used. There are now two engines deployed on this model, both gasoline, a 3.3-liter and a 5.0-liter one, with power output ranging from 370 to 426 hp.
The new G90 will be replacing the Korean-market EQ900 nameplate and will be sold by Genesis in a number of additional markets starting next year. The sedan is also a preview of things to come, as the Koreans are planning to launch no less than three SUVs under this nameplate by 2021.
