Nobody does a review like you. Motor trend is beholden to the car companies. I like the engine overview you do. I don't think anyone else on RU-vid does the excellent reviews like this.
Watch SavageGeese if you want to go even more in-depth with engine/suspension bits with interviews from the actual people who designed/built them as well and actual driving/track segments
Do not buy this. I had a 2021 G80 bought used with 4k miles and sold it after 1 year since it was so bad. 1) Front Headliner was not secured to the roof. I could see the plastic clips if i pulled it down slightly. How did this get past quality control wtf? 2) Panoramic roof would flex and crack if i go over uneven surfaces, which never happened with any cars I've owned. Dealerships had 4 tries to fix but could not fix 3) Weak AC that is terribly inadequate for Texas weather. 4) Rides rough and not very comfortable even with non-run flats. Granted I had the 20 inch wheels but still. 5) Poor NVH in general even with acoustic laminated glass compared to other luxury cars I've owned. 6) Gas mileage for the V6 sits around 19 mph 60/40 highway city driving which is pretty mediocre. 7) Just does not drive as well overall as the Germans or Japanese. You can tell the Koreans brands just arent quite up to snuff when it comes to driving dynamics.
The Door Hinges are designed to be heavy because it will lock the opening angle and stay there. No more door accidentally slammed into the car next to you and etc. also, if you push while opening the door, the electric motor will accelerate the door to assist you. If your door is not closed or if you are too lazy to do it, long hold the lock button on the key fob and the car will closes all the doors automatically and even raise all the sunshades.
Only two things I disagree on is the infotainment system. I had the similar one in my GV70 and it was excellent. Fast, extremely smooth, graphics transitions were nice using the nvidia hardware, etc. Not sure why you're claiming it's slow or old unless it somehow uses a different hardware than the GV70 which I doubt it does. Second is the leather, I really like how it feels. Maybe it's subjective. I don't think I ever had anyone sit in my GV70 that didn't like how it felt, which uses the same materials as the G90.
@jerbsherb4391 In what way? My SQ7 Prestige with the luxury package takes a back seat to the G90 in a massive way as far as interior is concerned. This idea that the European luxury cars are just simply the best is absolutely hilarious. Go look at the engineering on the gen 1 Taycan vs the Model Y of the equivalent year. The Model Y literally dunked on that German engineering failure so hard and for a fraction of the price. Definitely not as nice of an interior, but the mechanical side was years ahead. Hard pill to swallow, Koreans are coming in hot. $3k for a suede headliner or $3k for what should be standard safety systems on the German brands like Audi is pathetic. An Elantra has more standard features lol
4:20 I normally trust your reviews, but had to fact check this tidbit. "Hyundai Motor Group’s new Dual Fuel Injection system comes with two injectors, one GDi and the other MPi, for each cylinder, taking advantage of the pros of both injector types. For low-to-mid speed everyday driving, the system uses the MPi injector; for high-speed driving in highways or expressways, the system uses the GDi injector. Such optimization of fuel injection type to the driving conditions has led to an improvement in both performance and fuel economy."
I'm very surprised that he missed this. That tells me one thing...he didn't really research the ins and outs of this car before his review. And I actually believe he is completely blowing too much hot air on the door situation of this car. He even showed how easily closing the door with one hand was accomplished.
1. Anybody that has been around for a while knows the MT car of the year award doesn't mean much. 2. It would be better if the car was reviewed over 5 years and then got awards.
This fellow is the best car reviewer there is. This is the kind of information I want to help make a car purchasing decision. Keep those reviews coming Car Care Nut!
That’s something that was always very annoying in the auto start stop cars. I went and test drove a Mercedes a few years back and it was super humid that day, well the engine stopped at a light and the windows started to fog up because the water from the air con started evaporating. For the almost no MPG that saves it’s a stupid system. If I had a choice between auto start stop or a hybrid. I’d pick a hybrid all day because everything keeps working when the engine is off.
@@icosthop9998 I dunno if you can on this car but in other brands there was a button you could turn that off for that start only. It didn’t remember it so every time you got in your $80,000 car that feature was turned back on. 😅 it can remember your radio station, your seat positions, your mirror positions, your last climate control settings but it can’t remember that you don’t like that feature and want to turn it off. It was also very startling every time the engine would come back to life when you took off.
yes you can by pass this feature on the regular G90s. THis one he reviewed here he FAILED to mention in the hybrid which makes snse this verson has the stop start fuction.@@icosthop9998
@@icosthop9998I got a weaker battery. It has enough power to operate everything except the start stop function. The icon for the start stop is now constantly blinking. But everything else works fine.

This horrible RU-vidr reviewer doesn't rectify anything or care. He doesn't even bother to reply to his own comment sections. He left out the fact in the main title of this video here that this is the Electrified G90 totally misleading others to think this is the normal motor build on all G90s when the mechanics are totally different. This RU-vid sucks.
What most car reviews should be like..tell us what we are getting into and driven beyond just the engine..love it man! Motortrend the best been a fan since middle school
Other reviewers said similar things about the automatic doors until they actually tried them. I think the consensus is the automatic doors are great, because of how long the door reach can be. For old people, I can see this becoming an issue.
If you are too old to close your car door...you are too old to be driving. My 80 year old grandfather was opening and closing his truck door since I was little kiddie and continued to do so until he died at 94.
@@badmaanfuli think most cars in this segment are passenger based honestly, it just happens to be the cheapest aside from the A8 (almost) and the s90 (if you count it in this segment). If you want a driver focused car i think there are better cars in this price range
Great review as always! I’ve been getting a bit confused here with some of your reviews lately, and the reason like you said, it’s a luxury segment with opulence and bells and whistles…etc, so who (most buyers I mean) cares about calibre size, wish bones, cheap mufflers, and so forth…”Most” people who buy or lease this in this day and age, even used, would end up taking it to the dealership or excellent mechanics like yourself, due to the complexity you described, and that applies to almost all luxury vehicles. What matters here is you get the comfort and luxury you paid for. Thanks!
It's confusing because he doesn't know how to PROPERLY title his videos like this one here. This is the Electrified version of the G90 and the engine components are 100% different that the standard G90s.
Your reviews are the BEST on the channel. It would be great if you could drive each car as well so you can give us your driving impressions. THANK YOU and keep up the great work!
No his videos are not the best because he doesn't know how to PROPERLY title them correctly. He does this video acting like this is a standard G90 when it is not at all. The one her reviews here is the Electrified version which is totally different build in mechanics & the engine components he is talking about in this video. So it's a BOGUS review unless he changes the title and INFORMS VIEWERS this is the Electrified version. HORRIBLE MISLEADING REVIEW HERE!
@@ShowMeWhatINeedToKnow WRONG. Otherwise he would have PROPERLY titled thsi video as it being the Electrifed G90 version. He has now mislead tons of people in thinking this is all G90s. So wrong on every level unelss he chages the title. He is NOT even the best. He proved that in his stupid fake MISLEADING title. WHo would trust a mechnic that can't even title his videos correctly with what car it is he's critisizing? Smh. Get you head out of his a$$ SIMP.
I like the fact that you don't let them get away from being cheap in certain areas. They are starting to charge people luxury prices so they should be treated as such.
Thank you so very much for making these videos. This gives the buyer a perspective beyond the looks and the shine of a fancy car like this one, before making a decision to purchase something so expensive. Please make videos on Volkswagen Vehicles as well. Love your content. Thank you. 🙂
I bet when the warranty is up the repair bills will be attention grabbers too. This makes BMWs look like models of simplicity and reliability. I wonder if they get their plastic parts from the same place.
I really liked your review when it concerns the actual operation of how the 48v system works. I was very surprised to see they chose to run it thru a belt instead of directly to the transmission. Very disconcerting to me anyways. It really does seem like a weak link to what could have been a better used feature. And the AC thing bothers me a lot. Hopefully they will change this on later models. Thank you for a very in-depth review.
There full hybrids have the same setup (specifically the Tuscan, Sportage, Sorrento, and Santa Fe hybrids) using motor/generator attached to a belt drive 🤦🏽♂️.
@@tails300The Genesis platform is not shared with the rest of Hyundai Group cars. It's unique. Much like Lexus and Toyota. Or Wolkswagen and Lamborghini.
@@tails300 Why do you think they're the only ones who do it that way rather than inserting the electrified drive components directly into the driveline like everyone else? Seems like a more complicated and less efficient way to do it. Packaging maybe?
Motor Trend's advice on car purchases? You have to be joking. Not interested in reliability? Wrong. I certainly don't want to waste my TIME dealing with car repairs that better engineered, better constructed and better tested vehicles wouldn't have. Do I want to be conspicuous? Absolutely not.
This supposed mechanic RU-vidr reviewer fails to mention that Motor Trend was talking about the majority of REGULAR G90s being sold and not this Electrified version. He FAILLED to put in the title of his video here that he was reviewing the Electrified G90. This review is bogus and this RU-vidr is biased imo. Otherwise he would have put the Electrified G90 in the title of this video. Smh.
Beautiful car, but only a couple hundred will be sold a year. This car has 3 things working against it. 1: It's not an SUV (I love sedans, but the majority don't) 2: Not many are signing up to pay $100k for a Hyundai. Sorry, Genesis. 3: No real cutting edge powertrain. This should've been a powerful V8 or dare I say a full EV.
Having the V6 is going to hurt it in the long run. Also having sales in very small numbers means that your cargoes obsolete much faster as parts inventory and body parts disappear. I found that out with a Veloster that isn't that old. Parts guy told me it's the same with any models that sell in small volumes it's not just Veloster or Hyundai. If this G90 only sells 5000 a year for 4 years. they're not gonna make parts like they would for Elantra or Sonata. Buyer beware 5 years after the last of the current model is sold.
@28naveenator27van strange. i have cars going back to the 40s and can still get parts. My most modern "old" car is a 1992 Subaru SVX LS-L and I can still get parts for it despite them only making 14k of them and it being discontinued almost 30 years ago.
Honestly that body style is absolutely beautiful. The way the c pillar pours into the trunk is perfection. It reminds me of when mercedes came out with the s500 w140 back in the early 90s.
Go check what a 3 year old 2020 G90 goes for and that car was 75k-77k . If you think you can get the 23 g90 for 40k in 3 years. Full size luxury sedans depreciate quicker but I don’t think you gonna get this for 40k in 3 years more around the 60k mark. The crazy part is they only sell like an average of 130 units monthly so there isn’t even gonna be that many on the used market. A8, LS500, and G90 don’t sell well in the full size luxury market in USA. The 7 series and SClass are moving better units but is still not that great for those 2.
@@MrGeezil I think Genesis' warranty might help support those values too, as the Germans depreciate so quickly partially because you start looking at significant maintenance costs 5+ years out
One thing haters have in common is that they enjoy talking crap about others but they are so dumb all the insult they spew out end up being some of the dumbest things anyone could ever say and to someone with half a brain they just end up looking like a total fool.
He tried his best to be polite, but his tone gives it away. He does not like either Hyundai or Genesis. Once that’s established who cares what is he talking ? Hyundai had established it self as like Toyota did previously and now Genesis is trying to do what’s Lexus did before. Thanks for all the tech talk, but I am sorry you missed the point of a car review.
No, you missed the point of a car review, which is to pull no punches. Lexus was reliable, its cars fully engineered, and had outstanding dealer support from Day One. Genesis has been around for over 5 years and still hasn't fully resolved any of these. Genesis is "trying" to do what Lexus did, but the fact is they haven't done it and they may or may not ever.
@@trstnhn "How many G90 did Genesis sell in November 2023? Genesis sold 68 G90 (in the entire U.S.) in November 2023." No, I am not living under a rock. You can zip the condescending Internet insults now.
I saw a reviewer open the door with a pinky. Apparently they didn't want the door to auto open for liability issues but if you open the door by pushing out on the open button on the door, as long as you keep pushing on the button it will "assist" your open making the door feel weightless
Thank god, that’s why I bought a 2021 G90 with the 5.0 straight V8 AWD. Nothing complicated, old school. 426 HP. 25.6 mpg on the highway. My Korean Cadillac. Lol.
Wrong. He forgot to put in the title this is not the regular G90 and this is the "Electiified" version. Misleading the engine components are 100$ different that the standard G90s.
Based on what I read on the consumer review about Genesis, it seems everyone with the V6 engine is praising the product while the ones with the 2.5T I4 are complaining about some issues.
Yeah this guy is a horrible RU-vidr & I don't even believe he is even good mechanic after watching this bogus biased review. I say its bogus because first he failed to put in the title of this video that this is the Electrified G90", thus misleading viewers to believe all these mechanics are in the standard G90s when they are not. Horrible misleading review here.
@@WrestlingErnestHemingway. Yes.. check out his review about mazda cx 90.. it was horrible. Im going ti unsubscribe to his channel and i think his videos are all about youtube. Hes so biased as if he knows the future of all cars.
Stop-Start functions on most cars, can be turned off.....I would. Imagine stopping at a red light, and your AC turns off, because the car is set to Stop-Start.....No thanks. Turn it off.
IF you're old enough to remember, early 1970s, the Chevrolet Vega was Motor Trend car of the year. A car that would burn 1 quart of oil every 500 miles, the body rust through in less than 2 yrs and never stop rusting - a true case of Rustoloy material. So the Motor Trend Car of the Year is a very low bar that any car could be assigned, provided they paid enough to the publisher. Yes, my father bought one. It would at best burn 1 qt every thousand miles. When it degraded to every 500 miles using 50 weight oil, we would pull the engine apart have the head serviced with new valve stem seals and get her right back to the usual 1000 miles per quart. We got so good at it, we completed tear down on Saturday morning and had her back together by Sunday lunch time - including the time it took the machine shop to work the head. It was a real piece of Detroit art and a Motor Trend Car of the Year. It converted my father to Toyotas (Corrolla SR5 liftback) and I've been there ever since.
Well we have a GV 80 and pound for pound it's just as good as the top 3's luxury SUV's ! Plus you get a 10 year power train warranty!! We actually bought the extended warranty package that covers 100% of the vehicle for 120,000 miles for 2500 extra ! Try getting that with any of the others ....😊
I have a 2010 Hyundai Genesis, with port injection, a V6 engine, and it has been unbelievably reliable. Though direct injection would have improved power and fuel mileage, I am glad that my car doesn't have it. I like not having to worry about the carbon build up. I could not stand the original suspension, and put the ARK aftermarket (made by Hyundai) suspension that lowered the car by an inch. The original suspensions wallowed too much for me. After 176,000 miles, I have had a window regulator fail on the left rear door, the door locks on the left side both had to be replaced because they would not work in hot weather. I have replaced the front brakes only once at 100,000 miles. TPMS sensor went bad, not in the tire sensors, rather the computer that receives the TPMS signaling. That was about $350 at the dealer. Oil and filter changes every 7500 to 10,000 miles with full synthetic. I have no oil leaks, still have the original air conditioner with original charge. Spark plugs at 100K miles, and transmission fluid replacement every 60K miles. Based on this car, I would buy a Genesis again, but now, after watching this review, I may buy another used low mileage older Genesis. I fear the complications of the new Hyundai designs. I love the Car Care Nut, and watch all his videos, and I know he is calling it as he sees it, but there is no question that he is biased for Toyota designs, though he gave a positive review for the Mazda CX-5. He clearly doesn't not like the Hyundai/Kia hybrid system. He clearly doesn't like cars with only direct fuel injection (Neither do I), and he doesn't like there to be be too many belts that need to be replaced. Can't blame him there. If I lived close to him, and owned a toyota product, I would definitely wait in line to have him service the vehicle.
I worked at the Hyundai Kia Corp office in Southern CA. I was a bill collector and I can tell you that these cars are nothing but problems. So many customers complaining about their cars messing up and the dealer not wanting to honor the warranty because of different reasons. They refused to pay their car note and I don't blame them. My advice is to stay away from this whole brand.
I would bet the majority of 99% of the complaints are all about the dealership's service departments and not the cars itself. This is why this is a reliable USED CAR and not something to be in contract with Genesis whatsoever. I'd buy a used G90s and take it to be serviced to any other trusted mechanic than ever think about using the dealership service departments. No way am I bothering with dealing with the Hyundai Kia Corp or it's horrible SCAM & incompetent dealerships. The cars are reliable & mostly fine. It's the dealership service departments that totally suck and that are unreliable.
@@WrestlingErnestHemingway Writing glowing soliloquies about your opinion of Hyundai/Kia/Genesis won't change most people's perception that the Hyundai/Kia/Genesis brand & their vehicles are complete JUNK.
I find it curious and a bit frustrating that ---this being an automobile -- there was no time devoted to how the car drives, only a phrase or two about its "opulence." Okay. But how's it on the highway, on secondary roads, in slippery conditions? Is its acceleration adequate, thrilling or something in between. Fuel consumption? Premium or regular? Etc. But I did enjoy the thoroughness of the rest of the review. This guy obviously knows his stuff.
BROOO, this is a sign. Ive seen a few Genesis cars out on the road, those cars DEMAND glances. Beautiful and lowkey luxary. Edit: This video was soo timely
The 2024 has updated the door opening, and it is now easier to open. If the doors are open on the 2024, you can also hold the lock button on the remote, the doors will close and lock.
Excellent review and you are right. I would never pay six figures for a Hyundai anything. Will stick with my BMW and Mercedes because brand recognition matters in this segment. Hyundai is losing ground every day to BMW, Mercedes, Audi and Porsche here in South Korea since the government signed a new EU trade deal years ago that removed extra taxes, fees and tariffs on imports.
@@marvelv212 Great point. I have been maintaining them. Not so expensive when you’re an executive with an automotive engineering background and likes to work on vehicles. Of course, if I couldn’t afford the maintenance, I would not have brought it because some services/repairs will always be done by the stealership. Mainly because it’s not cost effective to invest in specialized tools for a onetime job.
I freaking think this is the coolest looking sedan ever…Hyundai has come a long way since the little Pony / Excel. I agree with many points but one he didn’t point out is lack of dedicated dealerships and most Hyundai mechanics who fix Sonatas are going to be lost with the complexity of this vehicle.
Genesis isn’t about creating a competing luxury brand. They’re not marketing it like Lexus does there cars. The point of Genesis is to make the regular Hyundai and Kia cars seem more luxurious, cool and modern (and reliable) by association. Genesis is there to help sell those Kia 6 EVs. And Ioniq 5s. Now we need a proper Genesis sports car.
Here is the 2022 Consumer Reports Auto Reliability Report rankings of 28 major automotive brands: Genesis is at 25... pretty much at the bottom. 1. Lexus 2. Mazda 3. Toyota 25. Genesis (30)
Thank you for another great review. However, I feel you have some bias towards other brands other then Toyota and Lexus. Yes Toyota and Lexus are very nice reliable cars but I don’t think the other brands are far off the cliff. I have not seen one review where you recommend any car besides Toyota and Lexus. Let me know if I’m wrong
They might have had he properly named the title as being their Electrified version of the car. The motor build he is reviewing here is totally different the the majority of other G90s. That makes this video misleading without him putting Electrified G90 in the title.
You won't see it with Sonata but when Hyundai sold Azura they had the most comfortable ride and not so good responsibility. It's a Korean luxury car culture and I don't think Hyundai will ever give up on soft ride. Perfect for people who drive for long periods of time or has a chaffeur.
The thing is, they got so many tech. from BMW designer since last decade to create Genesis brand and some are complaining Genesis can't make smooth ride like Mercedes cause the gene is from BMW. So, neither can't be a smooth ride or exotic ride. But, many reviewers give good scores on Genesis vehicle ride, so it depends on personal preference
I sold Genesis, Hyundai and Kia. In my humble opinion, they have the the Best Warranty in the business. (But the Service Depts blow.) Did you ever think, if they didn't have that huge warranty, nobody would buy their cars? I did, every day I sold these cars.
Those “cheaper” feeling materials is what makes this a 100k car and not 130k like Mercedes by the time you option some of the things this comes with and add Napa Leather and all that etc. you ll spend 15-20k in options even if the Mercedes starts at 100-110k If you are really going to care that much about how soft the leather is go buy a Rolls Royce lol Mercedes just raised the GLE53 which I drive by 18,000 from a base price of 68,000 in 2020 to 86,750k. Basically 19,000 in 3 years That GV80 is looking quite nice right about now lol
I have been enjoying my '98 LS400 for 25 yr. and, though I know it's unrealistic, I hope never to part with it. I drove only MBs for 20 yrs and all were very troublesome despite perfect maintenance. They even arrived with factory defects. Considering a friend's very bad experience forcing Hyundai to honor their warranty on his Genesis when a major, extremely dangerous problem occurred, I will never buy any of their products. Incidentally, when they finally did the repair, they did it incorrectly and, out of frustration, he paid his own mechanic to do it correctly.
Funny none of the other reviews by any of the reviewers mentioned an issue with the A/C. Not Savagegeese, Demuro, Alex on autos, redline, car confections, ben hardy, nobody. He's just making up issues to appease his anti Korean car bias.
WRONG. This supposed RU-vid reviewer mechanic FAILED to put in the title this G90 s is the RARE Electrified version. This is NOT the standard G90 builds being sold out there this Electrified one is more complicated. So with this guy leaving out the fact this is the Electrified version, EVERYTHING he says here does NOT apply to the standard G90s being sold out there. Smh. The AC woks excellent in all the G90s. Plus, just like vincentlee stated, in this Electrified version you just turn off the auto stop & star and you will solve this problem. Another part this horrible misleading RU-vid reviewer that made this video forgot tot mention.
QA to a next level. I don’t they will ever make a car that’s perfect for this guy. 😂 I do appreciate the videos. I would like to know what his top 5 cars to own.
Dear AMD, when you were discussing the three options of closing the door and added the fourth one as the chauffeur opening and closing the door, I remember an old joke. Kids in school are arguing as to whose dad is the most powerful. One says his dad is an Olympic weight lifter and can outlift everyone. The other says his dad is a karate master and can kick anybody’s butt. A third one says his dad is in army special forces and knows his way with both weapons and hand-to-hand combat. Then they ask this quiet kid if his dad is as strong as their dads, and the kid says “my dad is no Olympic champion or karate master, nor he knows much about weapons; but he makes tons of money and he can hire guys with those skills to kick your daddies’ butts”.
Exactly. This RU-vid reviewer FAILS to point out in his title this in the Electrified version. It's a bit misleading when the standard G90 inside motor mechanics are 100% different motor build from this one here he is reviewing. Misleading bogus title on this one that he should change as being Electrified version. Smh. Stupid RU-vid's and their misleading titles of BS.
This dude will give you honest and fair assessments especially when concerning Kia/Hyundai/Genesis autos which a lot of car critics seem to root for since being the laughingstock of the car industry for decades and now becoming one of its leaders today is quite remarkable.

This is NOT the standard G90 he is reviewing here the motors & assemblies are totally different. The one he is reviewing here is the "Electrified" version. He FAILS to point that out in the title of this bad video. Smh. He need to RETITLE THE VIDEO to the proper version of the car he is reviewing. Otherwise this is 100% a misleading title & video.
My 2005 Jaguar XJ8L has a naturally aspirated V8 and 30 highway MPG due to its lightweight aluminium body. Very reliable too! Only had to replace air struts and alternator.
finding a 48v 2hp or 4hp ac compressor is not that hard , and they would be using a inverter anyways so they can boost the 48v to whatever voltage the 3 phase motor needs. and these are really not that expensive , i can not seem to find a reason why they could not get a 48v ac compressor .
I have a 2021 G90 Ultimate with the 5.0 V8 and was seriously thinking of updating to the new model. I totally agree that the unnecessary complexity of the turbo and E-supercharged V6 is a huge step backwards for durability and reliability. I also agree that the current G90 is not a compelling car at $100k (even though an S Class is $50k more for comparable features,) but a used 2023 G90 3.5T E-SC with very low miles can be had for $65 - $75K and at THAT price point it is definitely worth considering, especially with the 100K mile powertrain warranty. As someone else here mentioned, the resistance when manually opening and closing the doors is due to the intentional feature that holds them open at any angle rather than allowing to close. I can see how some might find it annoying but I think the overall operation is a great feature. The one thing I will disagree with you on is your assessment of the interior quality. The longstanding benchmark of this segment is the S-Class, and while the Mercedes has a more luxurious LOOKING interior, there are still lots of cheap plastics that flex and creak over time, not to mention the gigantic fingerprint magnet screens and myriad piano black surfaces. Lastly, I have to admit that the new G90, although a very attractive car, pales in overall appearance to the S Class and even the last gen G90. I think most of this could be fixed with better wheel choices, but that's subjective and comes down to individual taste. Thank you for a great and very thorough review!
I appreciate your review (clean and professional, like your car shop seems to be :)), and the fact that you end your videos with a God bless you,. One thing I would note is, and maybe it's hard for yourself not to, given your career and experience, is that you seem very partial to Toyotas and Lexuses. They also have cheap parts in them, lot of their plastics are super cheap (hard plastics on the interior, and engine bay, even in Lexus, and they're going the way of turbocharging, catching up with the rest of the market, with many initial issues and quality control problems. I would say Genesis and Hyundai/Kia, are one of the most reliable brands currently on the market, surpassing many of their Japanese competition not just in price and features, but reliability. I would ask you would offer Toyota and Lexuses the same critical eye and analysis as you do for other brands. Thank you again for all your reviews.
I concur 100% Many reviews are highly biased. Non Toyota vehicles are either old school technology or if it’s new technology, it’s too overly complicated if you should ever have a problem with this… Sounds like a scare tactics from a service writer at the dealership. If the title says Should You Buy A… you know what the answer will be. As a subscriber to both channels I hope to see more credible trustworthy reviews.
His Lexus and Toyota bias is constantly obvious. It would be nice to see some objectivity, but alas, you won't see that from him. If Lexus and Toyota cheap out, then it's considered a great choice for reliability and not a big deal. Not to mention, their interiors are not even as luxurious, refined, or isolated as competitors. They will always get a pass from him due to his bias so these reviews aren't worth watching for an objective and informed opinion. He also incorrectly mentioned this engine is DI only when it has dual injection.
Yah and in the title of the video he failed to state this is the Electrified G90. Smh. Misleading others to believe this is the same build in every G90 which it is not. I would never subscribe to this guy's channel.
I find he is biased when covering older Lexus and Toyota trying to convince that you are buying a rust trap and insisting in you buying only dealer original parts...well if money was no object sure more people would do that but most people have limited budgets for car maintenance and have to deal with other bills
I think is a beautiful car, the only minor thing I don’t like! Is the headlights and side markings. It looks like it just goes all the way around the whole front of the car. Great hones review!
Really wish you had reviewed the Cadillac CT6 from 5 years ago. Overall, I wouldn't be scared of the mild hybrid system. GM pioneered that technology and RAM uses it now as eTorque.
There have been a lot of Genesis cars driven in California, ever since the first edition. No prestige problem. Lot of drivers are changing their Lexus for Genesis. I think brand is already estabilished. At least in some parts of the US.
I would agree. I would consider myself a bit of a brand snob, but trading in for a slightly used 2 year old Genesis GV70 or GV80. Not a lot of inventory where I'm from though. The thing people have to realize is that a lot of affluent people are wise with their time and money and if they want to purchsae a vehicle and drive it to the ground for 8~10+ years, then the German brands are often not friendly on the wallet and time..
Have you reviewed the 2018 Genesis G90 Ultimate 5.0 V8 two wheel drive? If so, what major problems should I expect in the next 50K miles? I just bought one with 50K miles in seemingly like new condition. I did not want the V6 Turbo and AWD so as to hopefully have fewer major problems.
I own a 2017 Genesis G90 5.0 Htrac Ultimate, love driving it. Lowers my blood pressure everytime I start it up. The 5.0 Tau engine is a beast, this engine will easily do 500k miles with rountine service. Just make sure you change the oil every 5000 miles rotate the tires as well. Check your owners manual for every other fluid that needs to be changed. I change my own engine air filters, two of them every 30k miles, the cabin filter behind the glove compartment as well. Keep your oil topped up by checking it every 1000 to 2000 miles it takes 5w20 quaker state. I use full Synthetic Oil, runs beautifully. I am never selling mines, Hyundai/Genesis stop producing their naturally aspirated v8 engines. On a long stretch of straight smooth road I've had mines up to 140MPH could not hear any outside noise, moving like a jet on the road.
@@MrT-nh6di - I agree. I hate to get out of my 2018 G90. I absolutely love it. smooth quiet powerful luxurious and a pleasure to drive. And looks impressive too! Thanks for the information. The best bang for the buck I could find. I wanted the weight (almost 5,000 lbs.) and long wheelbase (124") for the smooth ride. And yes, the 2023 G90 no longer is available with the V8 and too complicated with the twin turbo and 48V supercharger.
Speaking of copying Rolls-Royce... I hope you can do a complete review of Rolls-Royce also. Would love your honest opinion why this car cost a fortune.
@@beeslandscaping genesis cars don’t break with expensive repairs like those super junk German cars. My coworker has a G80 with 250K miles on it right now
