5 reasons to buy the 2017 Genesis G90

1. A comfortable ride 

As you take off on a test drive of the 2017 Genesis G90 you'll quickly notice the absence of wind or road noise in the wonderfully quiet cabin. The adaptive suspension softens road bumps. The front seats come with heat and ventilation as standard to keep you cozy on long or short commutes. Your driver's seat features a 22-way adjustment system to find the most comfortable position. And, the backseat passengers will stay comfortable too with their own climate controls. 

2. Two engine choices 

The 2017 Genesis G90 comes in two trims, each with an impressive engine. The 3.3T Premium runs on a turbocharged 3.3L V6 with 365 hp. If you crave more power, consider the 5.0 Ultimate. It features a 5.0L V8 with 420 hp. Rear-wheel drive comes standard on both, with all-wheel drive as an option. These two engines pair with an eight-speed automatic transmission. 

3. Handy driver-assist features 

Both trims of the 2017 Genesis G90 feature helpful driving aids. Whether you're handing your keys over to your teen driver, or simply like extra peace of mind when you're behind the wheel, you'll appreciate the multi-camera surround-view system and front/rear parking sensors to make parking easier, a forward collision warning/mitigation system, lane keeping assist, a drowsy driver monitoring system, a blind-spot warning system with rear cross-traffic alerts, and connected services to help call for assistance (such as roadside help with a flat tire). 

4. Abundant standard features 

Unlike many rides, the 2017 Genesis G90 doesn't come with a list of add-on packages or solo features. Instead, Genesis outfitted the base 3.3T Premium trim with everything you could want or need. Some of the standout features include soft closing doors, a hands-free power trunk lid, keyless entry/ignition, leather upholstery, adaptive cruise control, a tri-zone automatic climate control system, adjustable ambient interior lighting, and power sunshades of the rear windows. Step up to the 5.0 Ultimate trim and gain power-adjustable rear seats with ventilation. 

5. Tons of modern tech 

Now, let's chat about technology. If you love to have ample connectivity, the 2017 Genesis G90 (both trims) wows. You can accept calls from your smartphone and the kids can stream their music via the Bluetooth® phone and audio connectivity, top off your smartphone on the wireless charging pad while driving, and find your way around new cities using the navigation system with real-time traffic updates via a 12.3-inch screen. Or, simply sit back and enjoy a long highway jaunt while listening to your favorite tunes on the 12-speaker surround sound system with available satellite radio.
