Glide comfortably in the G 90 from Genesis with a massage and relaxing music: The passenger got into the back of the 5.46 meter long version of the luxury sedan, praised the generous amount of space and finally pressed the button in the door labeled “Rest”. The passenger seat now automatically extends all the way to the front and a footrest extends to the rear. You don’t lie flat, but you can sleep, especially if you’re driving slowly and calmly in traffic jams. Meanwhile, the driver takes a look at the infotainment system from the Hyundai subsidiary brand. The G 90 is only available with a 3.5-liter V6 gasoline engine that produces 415 hp and 550 Newton meters of torque. Expect consumption of significantly more than 10 liters of Super per 100 kilometers. In the base price of 126,000 euros you get full equipment, and that also applies to the electronics. To stay in the rear: Anyone sitting in the back will find their own operating system in the center armrest, including a controller, monitor and adapted menu system. The boss rules here, and he can watch his videos on another, rather small monitor on the backrest of the front seat.

The new size makes it strong: The Genesis G90 manufacturerThe chauffeur also gets a little less in terms of screens at the front than in the rivals from Mercedes-Benz or BMW, but the menu is convincing with its intuitive operation. The instrument panel in front of the steering wheel shows the two analogue round instruments for the speedometer and tachometer. In between there is a small display whose contents can be switched: either on-board computer, status of the assistance systems or navigation instructions. The center of the infotainment is the 12.3-inch on-board monitor, under which there is another control center. It contains physical buttons at the top that allow you to quickly access the individual departments. In the middle there are soft keys for fine control of the climate control. When Amazon Music kicks in. There is a controller in the center armrest next to the round rotary control of the automatic transmission. With its help you can move through the menu without swiping your finger on the display. Additional buttons are added above the controller, and in this way you have a redundant operating system, you can either use your finger or buttons and controller. The submenus on the screen are divided into functional areas and visualized with large tiles. You get along straight away, with one exception. The volume of the announcements cannot be adjusted in the navigation, but rather in the sound settings. Unfortunately, you cannot stop the annoying multiple beeps after starting the engine. The system beeps eight times as a greeting, but we don’t understand the meaning. Enjoy in the luxury class: At the push of a button, the rear right seat becomes a reclining seat. ManufacturerThe EU’s annoying speed limit warning is also a sharp dog here that barks quickly and loudly. Even if you go one km/h over the supposed limit, you will be punished with acoustic microaggressions. Genesis also has an assistant built in, which is not mandatory, but is just as annoying. Every time the speed limit changes, there is another gong. The good news: Both systems can be switched off by holding down the loudspeaker button on the steering wheel. Of course only for the respective journey. There is also a warning function for dangerous areas that are equipped with a stationary speed camera.
