Canada Gets a Special Genesis Model

Canadian drivers have a chance to cruise in luxury.

Genesis Motors Canada has announced packaging and pricing for the all-new 2023 G90. Available in limited numbers, the luxury sedan will be offered exclusively in Prestige trim, featuring a special Ultimate package at the time of launch in the Canadian market.

“Audacious, progressive and distinctly Korean, the second-generation G90 represents the most elegant interpretation of the brand’s design identity to date,” Genesis says in the G90’s introduction. “Ushering in a bold new styling direction, the all-new luxury sedan embodies the Genesis philosophy of Athletic Elegance.”

That description includes features such as a wider and lower stance, a suite of advanced assistance features and a variety of new technologies.

“Curating an exceptional acquisition and ownership experience for our guests has been paramount since the inception of the Genesis brand,” says Eric Marshall, executive director of Genesis Motors Canada. “Everything about the new Genesis G90 exemplifies true, elevated luxury.”

True to its name, the Ultimate package is comprised of protection items and services that promise truly frictionless ownership, including ceramic coating, winter tires and wheels (with tire storage and seasonal changeover), and a Fragrance System scent diffuser with complimentary refill cartridges.

New to the Genesis lineup, the Mood Creator feature enables integrated control of the sound system, ambient lighting, the fragrance system and electric curtains to create a soothing environment that further enhances the passenger experience. The sedan offers four different mood modes, each of which can be customized for a high level of personalization.

Easy Close Power Doors and reclining rear seats complete the tranquil experience inside the cabin.

Meanwhile, Virtual Venues Live is a virtual, 3D-surround sound function only available in the G90. It recreates the sound characteristics of spaces that are optimized for certain types of music featuring settings such as Boston Symphony Hall and delivers on that sound with a 26-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system.

Virtual Venues Live monitors the interior through an in-car microphone and simultaneously creates signals that reproduce the sound field characteristics of the selected space. Then, the system minimizes and stabilizes in-car noise according to the speed of the vehicle while delivering audio through its speakers.

It’s all powered by a 3.5L twin-turbo V-6 48V e-SC engine that produces 409 hp and 405 pound-feet of torque. The 48V battery, charged through regenerative braking, allows for increased performance particularly at lower rpm, providing a more linear and responsive driving experience, according to the company.

Finally, the G90 is also capable of receiving Over-the-Air (OTA) software, navigation and multimedia updates.
