2020 NEW Genesis G90 vs Mercedes S-Class // When The Bargain Meets The Boss

The city has been dark since sunset. I'm not sure if dawn will ever come. Some people say I'm a hero, but I don't even know what that means anymore. Come back now. Hello sir, where is the S class? Yes, there it is. I've never been an s class it's the g90 it's the new one you know where Alfred is Alfred is far away it's just me today okay yeah I got it oh he's Batman today where is she? you are looking at the accelerator house I am Thomas and I am James and today we want to see if the new Genesis g90 can compete with the S-Class because in the country of limousines many believe that the S-Class is the king or at least at this price and this s 560 is not a problem. around it it makes 463 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque, which is the same torque figure as a mclaren 675lt, although it is a little heavier and a little less aerodynamic, but it is also packed with luxury, such as it should be, because in current spec with almost all the bells and whistles it will cost you one hundred and forty five thousand dollars canadian and that requires a big thank you to

mercedes

-benz of oakville for foolishly trusting us to return it in one piece thanks guys or for less than ninety thousand dollars you can get all the bells and whistles in this new g 90, this car is the very definition of an underdog coming out of korea, the g 90 is here to try and hang out with the big kids, no, It has no pedigree, yes, the front part.

It looks like Swarovski took over Superman's shield, but all the good stuff is there on the inside. The real question of the day is: does the G 90 really have the ultimate engineering presence to compete with the giants or is it just an imitation? You're new to throttle, we do car reviews, track testing and lots of gaming, so sign up and ring the bell. The Mercedes S Class. This car is all about one thing: comfort and I feel like a

boss

, so two things. but you really feel special the rules don't seem to apply to me in this car the stop signs don't matter this this needs to be stopped cyclists in Toronto Phil this is the genisis g90 it's amazing it's all about one thing doing exactly what Those cars do it They do, but for being cheaper, there is definitely a significant amount of sophistication in the way this vehicle drives and that's partly down to the engine, isn't it?

If you want to save a few dollars, you can order the G90 with a turbocharged six, but you're better off with the V8. This is a naturally aspirated v8 with aluminum block and heads and variable valve timing that produces 420 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. Now James' car has a twin-turbo V8, but. It's only 40 more horsepower, so it's like 20 horsepower per turbo. Now the car is very naturally aspirated, you have to run it hard to get that power, but one thing I definitely notice is that the throttle is intentionally set so that the first half is very long, which means you can do full throttle movements. feet and does not create any unwanted engine response.

I would say that overall the most important thing is that the power of this car is full, but if you are not satisfied with the right amount and you should not go over to the Mercedes side because although this s 560 only has 43 horsepower Plus, it actually has one hundred and thirty-three more pound-feet of torque, which is incredibly significant if that's not enough for you. you can get an S 63 of which this is the detuned engine and if that's not enough for you, you can get an S 65 which is a v12, but the important thing about this is that it is a hot V, which means that the turbos are They are located inside the V of the engine, which puts them closer to where the explosions are and that means that the torque is available to me now and the way the car delivers the power is so buttery smooth that it feels like you were inside a red velvet cupcake, assuming there was cream.

It has cheese and I know these cars are not all about speed, but this car cuts fast, put my foot down and it reached 100 kilometers per hour in four and a half seconds. This thing weighs four thousand five hundred pounds, that's a lot. of power and speed for a car that still has two top versions, we may not know much about this car in Canada or the United States, but in Korea this is what presidents and CEOs drive, but I can tell you here what I think which is an incredibly secluded and secluded place. It's like a safe space and that's good.

I need one of those Millennial ones and it actually sounds really good. Okay, there's a sport mode. You don't really need it. It's more. like a comfort mode and then also the comfort mode, there is also a custom mode which is quite good, basically this car is not about driving on back roads and cornering, it is about long distance cruising, it has that better than anything going down the highway using the adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assist, which is really nice because of the way I was so isolated from everything going on around me that I actually looked up and I was in a different city than I thought, it erased the driving from my memory, it was incredibly relaxing now I don't need to tell you as s class there is almost no serious NVH, that's noise, vibrations, harshness, it's smooth sailing, smooth ride, there is some tiny noise and there is some wind noise. but it's not a Rolls Royce, you really have to jump to Bentley Rolls Royce to get to the next level and for that reason I'm very curious how the Genesis is doing as the underdog, but like the a8 and the 7 Series, we I drove it recently, go watch that video, if you haven't already, this drives the size it is, feels a bit like a boat, there is lean in the corners, nothing is too urgent, but that allows it to absorb small errors from the driver or small imperfections in the road you feel like a driver if you hit and moved your passenger would say oh my boys and the mouse but if you hit a chicken you would be like what was that it's fine in the curves but beyond that it doesn't do anything fantastic or surprising, it handles its mass very well and is very well damped, there are no unnecessary movements or sounds or anything delivered to the driver, the passengers are easy to control, the steering is light but direct, it is precise.

Be very aware of where the car is pointing. I'm not just looking at the corners, it also has driving modes. You probably won't find yourself in sports. Often, everything this car does is for the sake of comfort. It even has an Air Suspension Button that raises the car if you want to go over a steep pothole or some snow, it also has the active boost meaning if I make a sharp left turn like this it gives me the right boost immediately to to keep me upright. and upright and comfortable is not a gimmick it's actually one of my favorite features in cars and the s class has been a pioneer of this for a long time honestly this car is a win for Genesis the transmission stays completely out of your way, the seats are really comfortable, it is I have all the security, the overhead camera and the 360° blind spot that you could need and everything is included in the price.

In fact, there's nothing it does worse than the 7 Series or the A8 we drove before. The only thing left for me to do. It's driving that S class, but first we have to talk about the style. I love these long days in a limo. They calm me down. I don't relax. Well, that's class. Tell me. Well, not much has changed. It has the mg package, which is like. six thousand dollars, that's a lot of money, yes, you get the 20-inch sport wheels and you get more aggressive styling down here. I wonder if that's where I would save some money.

Okay, there are many badges, there is also a Cadillac badge that is not a Cadillac badge, it is the technology that you have at the same time very well integrated mine is also not to be fair, but anyway this is class, it is well done , it's always looked good, yeah, it's very sharp, I'm more interested in This yeah, because this is the new kid on the block, although it has this criss-cross theme, this shape

when

you follow me, the road presence of this is crazy yeah yeah exactly and if you're behind me you'll be able to see this is the shape of the exhaust tips it's actually like the whole grill yeah it's really cool anyway so this one crosshatch goes all the way here on this headlight, it's over here and somehow it's present on these wheels, which are the coolest wheels.

I think I've seen another car. In fact, we did a poll on Instagram to see which ones they preferred and they chose the Mercedes. I agree with that, but honestly, I think this is a good-looking car. It reminds me that it has like an The Aston Martin Lagonda vibe continues. I've heard that before and I disagree. You know, what it reminds me of is a Toyota Sentry. We don't get that here, but this looks like a Toyota Sentry to me. I know. look we do the interiors, even if we start with the s class, okay, it's nice, welcome to the luxury of the s class and a little older, right?, you don't have the option, okay, yes, so we have a lot of things here.

In fact, in the Premium Package you have heated and cooled seats, you have leather upholstery, yes, security personnel with 360 camera, that's a pretty big package, well, if you're tight, I know you want that's what you want to have , but there's also the nice headliner and This exclusive nappa upholstery is from the same package as before, no, it's part of the exclusive package and it costs more, it's like another 5 grand, yeah, anyway, obviously this is very nice . I've noticed it although we have some distinctive Mercedes. Creeky, it's not as bad as no, it's not that bad. I'll show you something in a minute,

when

we get out of that, incredibly comfortable, these contoured seats, we've got the thermos, the sound system, which is nice, but for six grand more you get the high end it says high end thermistor and there's like tweeters that spin the physical things twenty something amazing speakers, okay obviously the dual screens look like any other Mercedes, yes the technology does it, yes, but hey, this is the steering wheel. exclusive to an s class, but like the 7 Series we were just in, it has the same 7, the same wheel that is on the 3 Series, which might not be the case in Europe.

Yes, by the way, this is unique in this, it really looks. Great, I really liked the look of this interior, the ambient lighting is very good. Okay, sure you check the back seats, we have two of course, what's that? The extendable belt buckle, yes, it's so luxurious, everything is optional. extra mass yes okay so this is on a long wheelbase James no this is the short wheelbase yes how much more is the long wheelbase to match the G 90 of the base nine thousand Canadian prices? I was just trying to get the prices a little closer. For the Genesis, this is still very comfortable, but you would have some extra space on the long wheelbase.

Oh man, yeah, this is from Gobby, we have one of these, sure, we have wireless charging here, that's cool, this is delivered to you in person, that's too much every day. the push button I don't want to extend from the peasants yeah we should go lift yeah well I'll say hey Siri passing my whiskey yeah exactly this is amazing by the way I love it yeah thanks con the light, it's really really nice here really very nice yes incredibly comfortable it is however how much does this car cost? It costs a hundred you don't want to say it out loud Did I say it didn't I?

I'm going to say it louder 445,000 native yes Would you like to see what G9 offers you for under $100,000? Sure, soft close, which is standard, as is everything you see really, the 89, yeah, very good, I don't know what I'm looking at, you might not have any of the stuff and I have all this is good advice no you called it seeds no it's great yes leather upholstery dashboard nappa leather yes open for wood yes you know what, although it's very brown here it's okay, I feel like that side of a tree, no, there's a different brown here, here, here, here, all the browns match the coffin, Joe, that's fine, but you have it in cream, anyway, the most important thing for me here is that the build quality is extremely good, it's solid as a rock.

There is no bumper on the Mercedes, although we decide that the wood creaks because it comes from a creaking meadow. That's great. Yes, this must not be a crunchy meadow. But. However, there is one thing I really like: the design of this. However, some styling cues have been taken. from I don't know, let's say the car is sitting next to us like this trim with a stitch that goes to the door right there, they did a great job, this is really nice, it's a touch even if it's not too far away, yeah. It's important because you can use this down here and it works perfectly, it looks dated.

I agree with you, they could have done more for them. This is supposed to be the call that the new Jenna Jenna Jenna is suggesting here with your marketing, it's classy. the watch is what's in the

mercedes

you can get an awesome iwi you can't do that in this where i focus a watch well i know well any logan rock walk is not a watch sometimes watches can be cooler because they are made by companies really sophisticated and Genesis should partner in some wayguy anyway, everything here works perfectly except for charging, it's slow, it doesn't charge my phone, yes it's very slow, there is wireless charging, yes, but you're using a VW charger, it just rejects it. the brand no, it's just a mistake to think so yeah, anyway, oh yeah, yeah, you have to open this manually.

Okay, the back seat takes care of you. It should mean, oh yeah, okay. The high seating position, like the Series 7, really brings to mind the entire interior. For me, the 7 Series is really as good as a BMW 7 Series in terms of material qualities, it feels very good, we have the old, come on, the climate control pays attention to the cooled seats, yes, you didn't call, look, You're also in the president's chair, of course, Alan, wherever I sit, you automatically become hold down that button. right there, okay, the front seats move, yeah, you tell the president who said that just makes things rewards, oh oh, hey, okay, I'm serious: I'll join you, so join your contract because you know that in the president's chair I feel like it's still pretty. cool, okay, that's pretty comfortable, yeah I know, I might be able to move the seat in front of me, it makes you feel like less of a child passenger, yeah, like I have control, you can move the seat in two ways, actually you can control it completely. here or you can just reach the side of the thing and press the buttons and it moves, I mean another one, otherwise, there's nothing amazing here, there are no TVs in this, no, well, that one, that one, you have two options, you can not.

You can also opt for TVs on this one, that's the only optional extra and if you have mirrors you have it all, they are stitched exactly like the S class. Now, concluding my thoughts on this thing I have, I want to say that while this is absolutely fantastic. It just feels like a reverse engineered version of that car, yeah well that's the problem with Genesis stuff, it has a generic vibe, it lacks a bit of identity, but it's a lot cheaper, it still feels like good quality, practically not. I really like it, these are the same types of materials, so this is what Genesis needs to do.

Basically, they need to take one of their cars, build it, enter a race and win. No, they need to be in a movie. John Wick must drive anything. The new Genesis cube that's for that would work, like Dustin Hoffman's call, put John Wick in it and build the identity because right now, well, this is incredibly nice, yeah, it feels like some kind of copy of that , well yes, we said that about the G 70 too yes, well as it was yes, it would feel like a copycat do you want to drive this? I would love to drive this he just got away with it James didn't realize that the g90 doesn't have massage seats g90 Thomas yes I don't fully understand why the Mercedes didn't have the head-up display, which you can get on the Mercedes , but it's another optional extra, okay, the s class, the benchmark that we've now driven on every one of these big boats that you can get and this one is advertised as the best you know what to get out of the g90 and into this, yeah, it's better, it's a little bit better, it's definitely faster, but overall in terms of ride noise and how smooth it is, it's not really that. very different, very different, right away, the power feels very naturally aspirated and you can feel the torque lower down.

This steering wheel feels good. I'm not sure I want wood for me. Honestly, I'm very impressed with the inside of this one, as much as I scratched it. For not being an S-Class and the way it drives, it's great. Thomas is right. It's no louder than the S-Class, which is a huge deal. It's no mystery that the G9Z drives exactly like this in most respects. It's probably by design when it comes to which of these you might buy for most of us if I'm actually going to buy them, but which of these makes the most sense.

I don't know personally. I think genetic identification is so long. Since you can get over the fact that it's not a Mercedes, why wouldn't you save a lot of money every time we get into Genesis? We said if you can get over the brand snobbery, this is great and it's not. Less true for the g90 is that the S Class is still king, yes you are probably paying a king's price but again Genesis feels like it is missing some identity and that is something I hope changes over time but From now on yes I want something like this for the sake of opulence and showing off the Mercedes is the clear answer.

If you want something like this because you really want to be comfortable, the g90 is your answer. Which of these would you choose if you had to buy it? one probably the G 90 and because there are really so many of these in North America, if you had one, you would be driving one of the most unique vehicles on the road and it would have these wheels that are so good off the market. four, the a8, the seven series, this one and the s class, but I think the a8 was one of my favorites just because of how high tech it had inside.

I am not loyal to any particular brand and consider money as a factor I would take. the t90 if there was no money 63 We love these big, comfortable limousines and there are still a few we want to try, like the Lincoln Continental coach door edition, but having driven most of the sub-$200,000 luxury boats , the g90 stands tall and stares. The rest on the face is impressive, it is wonderful and the price is simply unbeatable, right? Thanks for watching.
