The 2019 Genesis G90 will be unveiled shortly, but
several lightly camouflaged prototypes have surfaced online. The images reveal the redesigned flagship will adopt a more distinctive
front end which features a prominent crest grille that is similar to the one
used on the Essentia and GV80 concepts. The grille is flanked by new G-Matrix
headlights which have slim LED daytime running lights in the middle of them.
Further below, we can see a modified front bumper which features restyled air
intakes.
Moving further back, the car appears to adopt a new
front fender vents with feature integrated turn signals. Details are hard to
make out, but they appear similar those seen in sketches.
Further changes can be seen at the rear as the
license plate area has been moved from the trunk to the bumper. This freed up
designers to install new taillights which are connected by a slender light
strip. Other notable changes include a new rear spoiler and restyled exhaust
tips which mimic the design of the crest grille.
The single interior image doesn’t reveal any drastic
changes, but Genesis has already confirmed the model will have an updated
12.3-inch infotainment system which has an improved interface, Android Auto and
Apple CarPlay compatibility as well as the ability to receive over-the-air
updates. The infotainment system will also have a mobile SMS function which can
display text messages, read them aloud and then send basic replies.
Speaking of technology, the 2019 G90 will have an
adaptive suspension and an active noise control system which cancels out
unpleasant sounds. The car will also have an assortment of driver assistance
systems including Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic
Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Following Assist and Safe Exit Assist.
The facelifted G90 will be unveiled on November 27th
and South Korean customers will have a choice of three different engines
including a 3.8-liter V6, a twin-turbo 3.3-liter V6 and a 5.0-liter V8.
