2021 Volvo S90 vs. 2021 Genesis G90

The 2021 Volvo S90 is regarded by many as being Volvo's premiere sedan. Its immaculate interior, standardized safety functions and spectacular performance make it a special automobile. But how does it compare to the 2021 Genesis G90, a fabulous car with a near six figure price tag that is lauded for its posh interior and highly efficient powertrains?

Design & Style

The Genesis G90 has plush and relaxing seats with a door panel and dashboard that now use authentic leather. The infotainment system has been revised in such a way where updates can be received wirelessly while the voice recognition has been enhanced. The frame sits on nineteen inch wheels and the exterior is smooth, refined and exceptionally elegant.

The Volvo S90 displays a minimalist, yet classy style that many find endearing. Buyers have the option of all or front wheel drive and while the interior looks magnificent in any color, the gray wood and leather looks best. Both the back and front seats provide excellent cushioning and back support, and passengers have plenty of space for cargo. This combined with its advanced technology and infotainment makes it a force to be reckoned with.

Technology & Safety

Volvo is famous for the safety of its cars and the Volvo S90 maintains this prestigious reputation. It is outfitted with all the newest safety tech including emergency automated brakes, blind area monitoring, lane control, cruise control and Pilot Assist, which enables drivers to let go of the steering wheel for brief periods of time. Amenities within its cabin include a camera with surround view, nine inch displays, a panoramic sunroof, the choice of Apple CarPlay or Android Auto and climate control.

The Genesis G90 is so safe to drive that it received the IIHS Top Safety Pick Award. Each variant comes with standardized features like frontal impact warnings, emergency brakes that are automated, lane departure notifications, and assistance with remaining within lanes. Its cruise control is adaptive and amenities within its cabin include polished metal, suede and nappa leather. The seats are ventilated with a sound system from Lexicon which has seventeen speakers.

Performance

The Genesis G90 is powered by a V6, 3.3 liter engine that is turbocharged and capable of generating 365 horsepower. Buyers have the option of upgrading to a V8, but those who have tested it state that it is actually less efficient. Those that purchase the Audi S90 T8 will get an engine/electric battery hybrid that can generate 400 horsepower with 472 pounds of torque.

The Bottom Line

While the Genesis G90 is well designed in many respects, it is made by Hyundai who are still new to the luxury segment, so it lacks name recognition. Plus, the rear seats are fixed and cannot be folded which restricts cargo space, making the Volvo S90 the winner.
