2020 Genesis G90 vs. Its Competition

2020 Genesis G90
Martin Padgett Martin Padgett Editorial Director

Large luxury cars are among the best cars on the market.

The best of them come from Germany.

The Mercedes-Benz S-Class is unmatched for buttery luxury.

The BMW 7-Series offers a sportier driving experience with lots of luxury and technology.

Same can be said of the Audi A8, though it can also be overly soft.

All are packed with interior and driver-assistance technology and offer a variety of powertrains.

The G90 can't match them for tech, but it costs far less.

The Acura RLX is a bit player without the cachet of the rest, but it has an effective hybrid powertrain.
