The 'Good evening' from sub topher sounds like what a Genesis G90 driver would say to their boss lmao
Fax 😂😂
He also, instead of swearing, says "oh heavens", like a true G90 owner
Plot twist, G90 drivers are the boss 😎
For the record, every reviewer that has driven this car has absolutely loved it. Topher and SubTopher included.
Still a Hyundai
@@christianrobloxserver7282 your point being? Have you seen modern Hyundai products?
@@christianrobloxserver7282 write a book about it
@@TheUnreadableUserI agree. I haven’t seen anything negative about it. Even Doug enjoyed it.
@@christianrobloxserver7282 "it's still a hyundai"
and a lexus is still a toyota, an audi is still a volkswagen, and a cadillac is still a chevy. Still a good car.
This is such a silly thing to notice, but Hyundai slowed down the tempo (BPM) of the turn signals in this car, despite keeping the same Hyundai/Kia sound used in all their other cars. The fact that they went as far as to make the turn signal speed more leisurely and relaxing shows how far into detail they went with this car.
Theyre slower on all of the newer (2022-current) models. My 2019 G70 3.3T is the same as my dad's 2020 Santa Fe. My friend's GV70 (2022) is slower now too, as is the current (2022-current) G70s.
didnt mazda do that first and then bmw too
I also love the classy airport chime on startup, sounds very satisfying and premium without being annoying/obnoxious like Lincolns attempt at a premium sound.
when topher adds his opinion right in the video title you know it's about to get SERIOUS
@14:56. I think this is the place where the video cut was made. The Genesis 'Loving Till Daylight' (LTD) mode was accidentally engaged and:
1) Sunroof closed
2) Lighting changed to flesh tone optimized mode
3) Privacy curtains raised
4) Massage chairs engaged
5) Front seats fully reclined
6) Perfume started wafting in the cabin
7) Media screen changed to X-certificate content
Two blokes (Topher 1 & Topher 2) both reached to change the mode at the same time Great review guys.
looks like a korean maybach
This car is so relaxed that even the turn signal clicks with a slightly slower cadence
0:02 Welcome aboard Genesis Airlines!
"please fasten your seatbelts"😂😂
Such a great sound imo
I love all the buttons!!! Thank you Genesis
Ah yes I never thought I’d see the day where a Kia/Hyundai product would be better then BMW 😂💀
And it’s still not at BMW’s level yet
@@TheCarHornMaster dude have you seen his review and rant of the technology in the new bmw 7 series its AWFUL!!
@@TheCarHornMaster Rode in a brand new 3 series last week and for the cost I was heavily disappointed.
I’m assuming you’re a Comedian because that was a funny joke. The G90 is better than the LS, but it doesn’t light a candle to the Germans.
@@ajlee6933 It's "hold a candle". And, honestly, it probably does. I drove a G70 for the first time recently, and as a former G20 3-series owner, I was pleased with the G70. It felt more like a real car and less artificial.
To be honest, this may not be the most luxurious car, but having a functional interior that is intuitive, and gimmick-free is worth noting.
Very much reminds me of Bentley and Rolls Royce. The technology of the Mercedes and BMWs is impressive, but what sells these cars is the craftsmanship. Eventually, every car will have the technology that the Germans have and putting a screen with no buttons will make a car dull and another consumer gadget.
I took one for a ride and pushed it on a major HWY. I was so amazed how wonderful it rides. The tech, the finish. The G90 is a killer car to own. After returning it, I will not look at MB or BMW same way again. If I had the funds, 100% G90 in my driveway. Good job, Genesis.
For me, no company has continued to push the boundaries and improve more than Hyundai / Kia / Genesis over the past 5 years. Really impressive stuff from all 3 companies...
Honestly, even as an Audi guy, if I was actually in the market for a big executive sedan (which I'm not, quite the opposite really), I might actually take this over an A8. Not a fan of the new gen Audi interiors with all the gloss black and touchscreens - I LOVE this genesis interior with all the brushed metals, leathers, and wood - I'd opt for the wood over the forged carbon in the other one you drove for SURE. I grew up with a 2006 A6 that had these beautiful wood inlays all over the interior and really miss that in modern cars...just not the way Mercedes does it lol.
The 7 series is definitely cool and I'd probably take that over an A8 as well, but god, this thing just undercuts it in price like crazy.
What a cool car. The caramel latte colored leather really just looks so nice.
Fair and balanced comment 👍 Not the routine “not a BMW or Benz” or “Genesis is garbage” etc….those comments are made by people who can’t even afford a loaded Camry and hate the world for it 😂😂😂😂
@@user-mn2ju7tv8f regardless of what people can and can't afford, I just think brand loyalty is one of the stupidest things to exist in 2024. There are VERY few TRUE mass-market brands out there in any market that care about their consumers more than their profit margins - that is simply the reality of running a business, and I don't necessarily hold that against them.
I drive my RS3 because it's simple and it does what I want and it has what I need,
(although I would definitely love some ventilated seats- that's something that any car has yet to match my old challenger in. Those vented seats are absolutely monstrous at keeping you cool)\\
but if I had to replace it right now I'm sad to say that I don't think I would choose another Audi if I had to buy something from the B9.5 generation. B9 (meaning for the most part, 2018 or earlier) is where Audi's interior design peaked IMO. BMW is now the king of the three germans when it comes to interiors, and when it comes to that as a factor plus their undeniable capability both as daily drivers and as track cars, it's hard to pass them up, even if they are kinda ugly.
And then you have these new players like Hyundai and Genesis absolutely tearing up their respective segments, giving you all these things standard or for cheap that you have to pay out the nose for when it comes to their german counterparts. Just proof that proper competition really IS good for the market. Say what you want about engine unreliability, dealerships, etc., hyundai and genesis have made MASSIVE steps forward in the last few years.
This whole essay of a youtube comment to say that I'll never bash anyone else for their preferences, regardless of their reason. I don't believe in that because it creates unnecessary conflict. But I really like what I'm seeing from a lot of manufacturers who I wouldn't have given a second thought to a few years ago and I for one, think the car world is headed to a great place even with the advent of EV's.
I laughed so hard at 14:38. Great video you guys.
I loved this video so much lol
@NotBackstretch dude me too. Something about it. I love having the two together not only because they're funny but because one of them always knows something that the other doesn't. I hope our comments find then
Car handles surprisingly well
Korean engineering at its best!
It’s not Korean. All the engineeers are from Europe
Are you sure? @@rahimi4762
@@rahimi4762 I guess you also think the Tacoma is an American product because it was primarily engineered in America? Pointless... All cars are international products these days anyway.
@@rahimi4762Then your Volvo is made by Chinese😂
@@kfx3907 still ran and developed in Sweden. The Chinese are very disappointed. Look how long they live compared to the rest of the world
I love genesis lately!
Why? They still have tons of the same issues that plague new hyundais. The only difference is its 80% more expensive to repair.
@@christianrobloxserver7282 I’ve never heard of any problems from the owners.
@@kfx3907exatly the people that actually own these cars love them.
31:07 why you laughing subby tophy lmao
I love that you two mad lads had a good play in the back seat. The comically slow-moving front seat return was hilarious.
Best looking in the Class. 🔥🔥🔥
This is an amazing car. You can only compare it to a BMW of its class in 2 ways
1. Given that G90 is the pinnacle of Genesis sedan lineup, compare it to a BMW 7 Series of its class.
2. Prince Range- Compare it to a BMW sedan of the same price range.
This is a great review. The video quality and focus is amazing.
A beautiful car, so why is the steering wheel made so ugly?
This engine sounds a lot like the engine in the GX500 - deep V8-like sound at low RPM then a regular V6 at higher RPM.
@@ENIGMVTIK Your Sonata did not have a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V-6. Edit: Or were you talking about the car as a whole? The "it" pronoun is ambiguous on your part.
I've seen most of your videos and this one was, for me, one of the most enjoyable ones. Kudos on doing your research and finding the hidden gems to share with your viewers. If I was leasing, it might be a S-Class. However, if it was for the longer term, I'd take this over the S-Class as I would guess this to be more reliable than the German counterparts. Keep up the amazing work and more Genesis vids please.
While this is stunning and actually think it looks better than the S class I do think it could use a V8 as an option.
Almost perfect spec, dream commuter car
That interior is absolutely gorgeous
Wanted to point out, the stop/start activated at 24:50 (I saw 0.0 on the mini tach), and neither of you seemed to notice! Especially on these cars with 48v systems, don't turn them off, they're smooth enough to go unnoticed, and they DO save fuel!
Damn does everyone know about James’s Century? G90 is a really comfy car
One of those cars that is praised on the media and comments yet nobody buys.
I find it quite mature yet youthful as a luxury car. Balanced out. More youthful than its competitors; the Lexus LS and Volvo S90, which are both very mature and serious brands, so to speak. You know should make a car to compete with these guys is Infiniti. They should make a luxurious saloon limo like these cars, and focus on luxury yet also sportiness. Could only imagine how cool a large luxury Infinity would be with the R35 engine. 😱 Call it the Infiniti Q90, 575HP, VR40 (R35 engine with a 4.0 displacement), AWD, ZF 8-speed (no DCT)...
They should’ve tried romance mode.
Great review!! You helped me make my decision and purchased a 2024 G70 3.3t Sport Prestige AWD. 0:00 Once I test drove it I was in love. And $10,000 less then the BMW M340i is a no brainer.
Hey, there’s nothing wrong with a bromance. 😂 I loved this review guys!
Hopefully they are going to update it to 2025 model and make it even better.
can't wait to get this for 50k!
Give it 3 years
I knew them looking at the mood curator would create a sensual scene...
My dad’s Tuscan has the camera/screen turn signal feature along with the remote control parking for tight spaces….you know a car company is progressive when the same tech can be found in a consumer car and a $100k luxury vehicle. I don’t know why more automakers don’t offer the blind spot camera as any car with 360 cameras can do the same thing? I wonder if Hyundai has a patent on it?
The G90 sits exactly under the German brands, next to the Lexus LS, and the Volvo S90. They specialize in luxury, whereas the German brands add a spice of sportiness. It kind of makes sense to me now. I wrote a comment earlier (deleted) about how this and the MDX Type S Ultra are missing that Sportiness and horsepower to be compared to the German brands, but they are just not in the same league. The MDX Type S Ultra brand new is priced about the same as a 2 yr old X5M, but you can't compare the two. Comparing a bran focused on comfort and luxury, and sportiness as a last resort, whereas BMW, Mercedes, and Audi has sportiness as their second or third priority. Which explains why the S Class and 7 Series are always 20-50k more than the G90, S90, and LS. They add better suspension, handling, beefier stuff, higher performing engines and tuning, the software, so on and so fort, all while remaining innovative in tech and design to adapt to newer eras. The G90 is priced just right.
Why bother an S90? It is a way cheaper car.
omg substitute topher is cute
This car is not selling...they have only sold a few hundred of them this year in the United States. They need to get their dealer network up to the luxury levels of the other manufacturers(BMW, Mercedes, Lexus)
The G90 is not about sales, but a statement. The G80 is more about sales, but everyone prefers their CUVs.
I love all genesis, they are amazing cars, like they are getting very high in the luxury department, the only thing i would love to have is the back screens. That would be the perfect genesis to have!
If I ever buy one of these, I will live in it! At least until it's paid off.
It's beautiful, but for the money there's no reason to not get the S550. When Lexus debuted with the LS400 they at least bolstered the value by offering it for half of the W140 Sclass. This is pretty much the same price which is quite a hard sell.
Wait. Did you say Bromance Mode? 😆 Thanks for taking us on the drive Gents!
Wow Genesis has come very far! 😮
Awesome review, you created a near actual driving experience of the Genesis. 😊
"You can progressively romance your passenger" -okay Todd Howard 🤣
It’s the modern iteration of the classic Cadillac Deville. A floating coach w intuitive controls and luxuries with so so mpg and decent handling w a plush ride. And questionable long term reliability though the long term warranty takes most of the pain.
Fabulous.
I love this, haha 03:37
@5:25 big flex 😂
Holy shit over 700k subs! When did that happen
Lacking wireless car play isnt a deal breaker, but damn was the unexpectedly disappointing
Smart park is great for when an idiot at Walmart park too close to your car and they just want to ding your door... LOL
A hundred grand for a Hyundai? Yiiiiikes 😮
A Bentley is just a Volkswagen
Looks so comfy
Have to refill the scent cartridges like vapes I reckon 😅
The first thing I noticed: Navigation-Map(!) in the Instrument Cluster.
Before this every Genesis (or Kia/Hyundai) Model had just the 'Instructions' in the Cluster but not a full map.
I think that is a huge Benefit for the Cluster, because in Kia/Hyundai/Genesis Models the Digital Cluster always felt a bit... 'Boring'. You couldn't configure much, couldn't switch stuff, etc. - Just a few designs and thats it.
I drive a 2023 Kia Ceed (European Hatchback). - And I wish it would get the Cluster-Map via an Update, but I doubt that'll happen, especially with the 'Old' Gen5W Navigation, System. - Could be exclusive for the ccNC.
100k car no car play. I’ll pass on this one (saying this with my -$3 and microwave ramen)
It has carplay, just wired.
Of course it has carplay and android auto.
Beautiful.
Glorious
I'd trade my LS 400 for this. Saw one this morning.
10:41 smn is a swiftie right there ❤😂 love it, I just wanna know was it intentional to insist on the "bejeweled"
The mood curator segment took me out haha
It’s crazy how Kia has come this far
The only thing that I dislike of this vehicle is the steering wheel. In my opinion it is ugly but other than that the vehicle is awesome.
One question: how good were the massaging seats? How do they compare to others?
Sad being a BMW fanboy and owning a '21 3 series just for them to go and switch it up and go downhill on me. Sucked having to come to terms with learning to love a new manufacturer for my next car
Nice car..
nice car
Hyundai dealerships and service are the worst though. They really need to make Genesis it's own brick and mortar stores.
Having a G90 would be amazing, but, and this feels kinda horrible to say, I wish there was a version of this that was more efficient with its mileage. These days, I just prefer having good mpg too much.
Then you don't want a big heavy stately sedan like this.
@@themoviebay probably, but having a G90 would be pretty amazing anyway.
This was such a cute date omg
this thing will breakdown witin 100k miles
People that can afford it won't keep it that long. And most probably will end up leasing.
@@themoviebay tru
This is easily my favorite car in this class. If they ever made an electric G90 with decent range that would be amazing
I totally agree. The future of luxury is definitely going electric. A G90 is a luxury car, not a sports car. People don't care for the constant engine sound while driving.
A family member has a 2020 G90. Beautiful car on the "surface" when new. However all of the "surface" luxury does not age well. Much worse than a comparable Merc or Bimmer, IMHO. The plastic around the leather seating is starting to separate from the seat as well as the leather door grab on the driver side. The tan leather color "treatment" is beginning to discolor on both passenger driver side after only a couple years. His A/C compressor crapped out at 35k miles. Weird clicking noises coming from the front end (CV axle) at 39k. And despite it's luxury appontments and surface luxury touches the switches still feel cheap to the touch and not the same level of tactile feel as Audi, Lexus, Merc, or Bimmer. Does the competition have problems? Sure. But at this price point you would expect more solidity. The ride feels much floatier (and less connected to the road) and less solid than comparable luxo barges in this class. Doesn't feel as luxurious or of bespoke quality as a comparably priced German or Japanese luxo barge. All of this car's "gimmicks" don't add up to the sum of it's parts. And after a couple of years the ride quality deteriorates. Just my families' experience. This car is worth $70k the most new. Hyundai has come a long way since the 80s. Yet this G90 is not on the same level as the German or Japanese competitors. It's just not. You don't get the same driving solidity or satisfaction from this car as it's German or Japanese competitors, IMHO. And don't get me started about the dealer or service experience compared to Lexus. This is one of the major pain points of the "Genesis experience." Drive one for yourself and form your own opinion. This is just mine.
Now let's see Paul Allen's light temperature
Good vehicle. Just purchase after about 3 years, the price will be about $40K
Why did they get rid of the v8? I love the 5.0 in my ‘15 sedan
23:14 Walter White a car 😅
No wireless carplay/android auto is unacceptable for $100,000 in 2024
So bizarre to have hit such an out-of-the-park homer and NOT included wireless carplay lol?! It's over 100k, would another 2k have made a difference? Great car & reaction, oddly stupid omission that stands out like a sore thumb.
Genesis and other manufacturers wanted to ensure wireless data security/privacy was fool-proof before adopting. It is currently available in some Hyundai/KIA/Genesis models but it appears adoption is impacted by the head unit and bluetooth drivers installed. These vehicles are sold globally and EU GDPR regulation must be met. Google: 'Connected vehicles and the GDPR'. If the car has external connectivity, your information on your mobile phone may NOT be secure when used wirelessly in the vehicle.
@@chrispnw2547 Hmm, well I had no clue as to all of the technicalities, so thx for the heads up🙂. Why do you think it's avail. on so many other lux car brands then (& are thy addressing said issues)?
@@bretthollingsworth9866 It varies by manufacturer. There was a time when BMW only supported Apple devices and not Google devices. I remember someone mentioning BMW was not comfortable with Google's data gathering schemes at the time.
Each company decides how much of your information they consider private. Some even sell your data for $$$$.
Those rims are straight up gorgeous.
I'm sorry but choosing to have a knob for both the infotainment system and gear selector is dumb
I am so puzzled about the no wireless car play.
Would you take G80 or G90?
This used the 80 new
What watch is Topher wearing?
Idk why most cars not having wireless Apple car play? Like we are paying so much on vehicles these days we should have it . Beautiful car fr though i live genesis designs
You're worried about apple carplay in a car like this. People who buy this won't care, I wouldn't.
@@tempestsquall5882 worried? No. If i had a G90 i wouldn’t care. I’m simply stating they should just include it. Doesn’t hurt the car by not having it but would add to it if it did. Genesis isn’t the only brand not including wireless CarPlay in their new vehicles. It is what it is though at the end of the day
How are the new dune movies? I enjoyed the books.
10/10
Imagine paying over $100k for a gas vehicle lol
Are you being serious?
@themoviebay very. Gas cars are such old technology. My car drives me to and from work everyday flawlessly
It copies a lot of other car designs including logo. Hyundai logo was a copy of Honda original design and placement on vehicles!
Lovely car. Great interior and exterior. Unfortunately, that engine sounds like crap. Genesis should have tried adding a V8 in this car. Most S class and 7 series sales are their V8 models. I used to see lots on LS and a few G90s on the road. Now I rarely see any LS and only 1 G90. I think the lack of V8s might be stunting their sales. Buyers in the category have the cash to burn. Give them luxury not necessacity.
It was abolished due to poor sales.
I just wish it didnt look like a slug
good for mice and men…..
When a Korean car does old school American luxury better
Oh yeah, Genesis forgot to tell you guys the secret name for comfort mode, the G90 comes with a "hawk tuah, and spit on that thang" 14:00 😂😂😂😂
Sexy and beautiful car
Your camera lens sucks... it curves the image toooo much
