Why does it matter?
The long-wheelbase version of the new Genesis G90 might make its way to India in the future. The car will probably arrive here as a completely-built unit (CBU) and will take on rivals such as the BMW 7 Series, Mercedes-Benz S-Class, and Audi A8. On its arrival, the competition in the luxury sedan segment will increase to a great extent.

The new Genesis G90 flaunts a sloping roofline, a clamshell hood, a massive pentagonal grille, a wide air dam, and sleek headlamps with the brand's "Two-Line" design. It is flanked by B-pillars, ORVMs, and 20-inch alloy wheels with an abstract look. A shark-fin antenna, a raked windscreen, a full-width taillight, and twin exhaust tips are available on the rear end.
Information
It might be fueled by a 375hp, 3.5-liter engine
The upcoming Genesis G90 may be fueled by a 3.5-liter turbo-petrol engine that makes 375hp of power and 530Nm of peak torque. An electric powertrain with an output of 365hp/700Nm might also be available.
Interiors
The sedan will get multiple airbags and touchscreen infotainment console
The upcoming Genesis G90 is expected to have a luxurious cabin, featuring key-less entry, auto climate control, parking sensors, rear AC vents, and a multifunctional steering wheel. It will pack a touchscreen infotainment console with support for the latest connectivity facilities.
