2017 Genesis G90 5.0 Ultimate

The 2017 Genesis G90 5.0 Ultimate represents the debut of Genesis’s flagship luxury sedan and the moment the newly established Genesis brand stepped confidently into the full-size executive sedan segment. Introduced as an all-new model for 2017 and replacing the Hyundai Equus, the G90 was engineered to compete directly with the established leaders in the flagship luxury class while delivering an impressive level of refinement, technology, and performance. In Ultimate trim, it stands as the top expression of the G90 lineup, pairing the larger V8 engine with enhanced rear-seat luxury and a remarkably complete list of standard features. This particular example has covered just 80,342 miles since new and is finished in an elegant Santiago Silver exterior over a black leather interior with wood grain accents. It is also a two-owner vehicle, adding further appeal to an already impressive luxury sedan.

Powering the G90 Ultimate is a 5.0-liter naturally aspirated V8 producing 420 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. This engine gives the G90 the smooth, confident power delivery expected of a full-size flagship sedan, offering effortless acceleration and refined highway performance. The character of the V8 suits the G90 perfectly, providing strong and linear power that complements the car’s focus on comfort and composure. Multiple drive modes allow the driver to tailor the car’s responses to different driving situations, ranging from relaxed everyday cruising to a slightly sharper driving feel when desired.

Inside, the G90’s cabin was designed to deliver the atmosphere expected of a modern flagship sedan. The black leather interior is complemented by tasteful wood grain accents, creating a warm and sophisticated environment. Up front, the power adjustable seats offer an extensive range of adjustment along with memory settings, heating, and ventilation, allowing both driver and passenger to find an ideal seating position for long-distance comfort. The cabin layout emphasizes usability and accessibility, with thoughtfully placed controls and a clean, elegant dashboard design that reflects the G90’s approach to luxury—refined, substantial, and easy to live with.

Technology is centered around the large infotainment display, which provides access to AM/FM radio, Bluetooth connectivity, and integrated navigation. The system also includes a reverse camera that enhances visibility and convenience when maneuvering the vehicle. The interface was designed with usability in mind, making it straightforward to access navigation, audio, and vehicle settings while maintaining a premium presentation consistent with the G90’s flagship status.

One of the defining characteristics of the 5.0 Ultimate trim is the attention paid to rear-seat comfort. The rear seating area features power-adjustable seats along with dedicated rear climate controls, heated and ventilated seat functions, and rear audio controls, allowing passengers to tailor their environment with ease. Combined with the G90’s long wheelbase and generous interior dimensions, the rear compartment provides the kind of spacious and comfortable environment expected from a full-size luxury sedan.

Adding to the overall experience is a power sunroof that brings natural light into the cabin and enhances the sense of openness inside the vehicle. Together with the G90’s refined suspension tuning and quiet cabin environment, the result is a sedan designed to deliver a smooth, composed driving experience while surrounding its occupants with thoughtful luxury features.

As the inaugural flagship of the Genesis brand, the 2017 G90 made a powerful first impression with its combination of V8 performance, advanced technology, and executive-level comfort. Finished in Santiago Silver over a black leather interior with wood grain accents, with only 80,342 miles and two-owner status, this G90 5.0 Ultima
