New Genesis flagship luxury sedan G90.

The G90's front includes a new Crest Grille and sleek Two-Line headlamps, which are designed to resemble the brand's emblem. The Crest Grille at the front takes the model's luxurious image to the next level with its Layered Architecture design, comprised of two G-Matrix patterns layered on top of one another to create a three-dimensional effect. The Two-Line headlamps, located on both sides of the grille, are the thinnest on a Genesis model yet. The headlamps' slim design was made possible by intercrossing the lens of the DRLs (Daytime Running Lights) with the turn signal, the high beams and the MLA (Micro Lens Array) technology-powered low beams. The low beams in particular combine roughly 200 micro optic lenses per module with ultraprecise technology. The resulting lenses are smaller than those of legacy projection lamps, but provide the same level of light intensity – further reinforcing the G90's high-tech image.
The G90's status as a best-in-class sedan is further strengthened by its Clamshell Hood.[1] The Clamshell Hood design features a single panel that combines the hood and fenders to eliminate panel gaps, lending the G90 its definingly sleek design. In addition, the Guilloché[2] patterned emblem, which is nearly 80 percent thinner than the previous version, adds a finishing touch of class and distinction to the luxury sedan image.

The G90 is equipped with a gasoline 3.5 turbo engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission, which features a maximum output of 380 horsepower (PS) and a maximum torque of 54.0 kgf·m. The 3.5 turbo engine achieves a combined fuel efficiency of 9.3 km/ℓ with a Dual Fuel Injection system injecting the optimal amount of fuel to meet driving conditions, and a Water Cooled Type Intercooler improving acceleration responsiveness by quickly lowering the temperature of air inflow in the engine (figures based on 5 seater model in 2WD with 19-inch tires).
