GENESIS G90 2020

Una joya de cuatro ruedas con todo el lujo inimaginable a su alcance

(English Information below)

No queremos pecar de exagerados, pero cuando la empresa coreana decidió competir con las marcas tradicionales de lujo como un Jaguar XJ, un Mercedes Benz o un Lexus LS, para esto, no se quedó atrás en los detalles en abrir la línea de lujo de la Hyundai y específicamente el modelo Genesis G90. Desde la costura de sus asientos, los detalles de madera en su tablero y en los costados de las puertas, amplio espacio interior para el conductor y su acompañante además de acoger a sus pasajeros en la línea posterior con amplitud para las piernas y además, un tablero de comandos cuando bate el asiento central, desde donde también puede manipular la música, la calefacción y si quiere recibir a un quinto pasajero, levanta esta consola y queda un asiento libre y cómodo. Todo esta amplitud se debe a que cada centímetro cuenta. Este sedán es más largo.

No podemos dejar atrás en esta descripción a la máscara que lo define en un diseño que tiene nombre “G Matrix”, de la Genesis, con el logo alado en su tope, sencillamente elegante.

El comentario más adecuado de traer a la memoria es:  “G90 is the ultimate expression of the Genesis brand,” de Luc Donckerwolke, Executive Vice President y Chief Design Officer de Hyundai Motor Group, cuando se refirió al delicado diseño en su debut el año pasado.

Ambos tienen de largo 204.9 in, y de ancho (sin los espejos) 75.4 in. Ambos modelos miden lo mismo y de alto tienen 58.9 in.

La comodidad máxima la tiene en el sistema de sonido con 17 parlantes y el sistema de cámaras duales que le refleja en el frente de su volante, y en la pantalla del panel, con la imagen del carro y sus alrededor. Simplemente supremo.

GENESIS G90 2020

Making its debut in the United States, the 2020 G90 formally introduces the next evolution of Genesis signature design language. The color palette is expanded inside and out for a more emotive look and feel, while G90 continues to provide an exemplary driving experience backed by superior quality.

Evolution of Athletic Elegance

With the exception of the roof and doors, every exterior body panel on the 2020 G90 has been replaced or changed.

 “G90 is the ultimate expression of the Genesis brand,” said Luc Donckerwolke, Executive Vice President and Chief Design Officer of Hyundai Motor Group. “Before the first sketch was even drawn, my team of designers thought carefully about how to evolve its styling and create something even more elegant and harmonic.”

From front to back, the styling of the 2020 G90 evolves the Genesis brand’s Athletic Elegance design language. In front, the signature Crest Grille is flanked by Quad Lamps. In the rear, Quad Lamps wrap around from corner to corner. The license plate is placed as low as possible, further accentuating a low and wide stance. The elongated, horizontal side profile of G90 is characterized by vigor and dignity.

G-Matrix, a Genesis design hallmark inspired by light reflecting from an illuminating diamond, is applied to the headlights and taillights to emphasize refined proportions and balanced architecture. For the first time, the G-Matrix pattern is applied to the optional, 19-inch wheels, which also feature sound absorption technology to noticeably reduce tire noise.

The interior design embodies the ethos of Horizontal Architecture, dominated by a harmonious, flow of horizontal surfaces including a parallel layout that includes air ventilation system, and audio controls that maximize simplicity and provide an intuitive user experience. Immediately evident is a focus on premium materials and finishes that are befitting a flagship, including authentic chrome plating applied to switches and premium leather wrapping applied to the center console. Authentic, open-pore wood acts as a garnish, as does double stitching and piping throughout the cabin.

Connectivity, Emotion, Serenity

The 2020 G90 introduces multiple technology firsts for the Genesis brand, as befitting a flagship. It is the first Genesis vehicle to offer over-the-air wireless updates for maps and software. Its 12.3-inch display navigation system now incorporates touchscreen controls and a copper Graphic User Interface. The split screens are highlighted with signature copper accents.

Further enhancing the technological capabilities of G90 are standard Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Mirror Link. Intelligent Car Management Service personalizes the driving experience by using data to analyze driving patterns and informs the driver of necessary maintenance and vehicle wear.

The interior environment is more serene, thanks to Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), which reduces noise, vibration and harshness using leading audio technology to reduce unwanted noise intrusion. Occupant convenience is enhanced by when entering tunnels through automatic external air prevention. The adaptive control suspension minimizes vibration in real time.

The Genesis Adaptive Control Suspension with electronic damping control smoothly and precisely manages body motions throughout the range of dynamics with minimal compromises to ride comfort.

Peace of Mind

The 2020 G90, offers an unparalleled level of standard active and passive safety systems as part of a brand-level commitment to passenger security and comfort. Advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) in the 2020 G90 add a level of assuredness to the already refined driving experience. In addition to Genesis brandwide ADAS technology, the following new systems debut on the 2020 G90:

  • Lane Following Assist (LFA) expands the reach of lane-keep and lane-departure assists, to help stay centered in a lane and provide steering assistance.
  • Rear Cross-traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist (RCCA) uses rear side radar to help detect and prevent impact with obstacles.
  • Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) can now help detect bicycles and vehicles in front of the vehicle.
  • Safe Exit Assist (SEA) may alert a driver and passengers with alerts when an object is approaching an opening door.
  • Highway Driving Assist (HDA) assists the driver to maintain the center of a lane on marked interstate highways, while keeping a safe distance from a vehicle in front. It can act in conjunction with Highway Auto Speed Slowdown, which adjusts vehicle speed to match posted signs.

The 2020 G90 also includes 10 standard airbags, including a passenger-side knee airbag.
