Genesis has made several changes to the
G90 flagship luxury sedan in Korea for the 2021 model year. The most important
change is the introduction of a new ‘Stardust’ special edition for the local
market, limited to only 50 examples. The limited-run model features a two-tone
livery with a special carbon metal sparkling pearl effect on the upper half and
a Vik Black lower half.
The painstaking paint process, done mostly
by hand, is the reason why the G90 Stardust is offered in such a limited
production run. Inside, the G90 Stardust gets bespoke two-tone leather seats,
metallic pore Ash wood trim and a black headliner for an exclusive look.
Unsurprisingly, the G90 Stardust is based on the range-topping, V8-powered 2021
G90 5.0 Prestige trim.
In addition to the Stardust edition, the
Korean-spec Genesis G90 gains a number of standard features for 2021MY
including Adaptive Control Suspension, intelligent headlights, Parking
Collision-Avoidance Assist-Reverse, and new 19-inch wheels. The Adaptive Control Suspension is said to
minimize vibrations, improve ride comfort and steering stability. As for
Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist-Reverse, it alerts the driver when a
collision with a pedestrian or an obstacle is detected during low-speed
reversing and automatically engages the brakes if necessary.
The 2021 Genesis G90 goes on sale in Korea
on July 2 with prices starting from 79 million won (US$ 65,620). Not counting the
long-wheelbase Genesis G90 Limousine, the G90 Stardust tops the range at 133.5
million won (US$ 110,900).
