“The Genesis G90 aims to be the best in a very competitive class, and we believe we have achieved that,” said Genesis Head of Africa and Middle East Operations, Mike Song. “No effort has been spared in the pursuit of excellence, and the result is a vehicle that sets the highest possible standards of comfort, refinement and quality. It is a car that will impress in every aspect of its design and engineering, and to be a Genesis owner will set our customers apart as being part of a very exclusive circle.”
Aesthetically, the G90 is a powerful representation of the brand’s Athletic Elegance design language, which will be carried through onto upcoming Genesis models. Its sculpted hood, elongated wheelbase and short overhangs, lend it a rather suave persona.
