The G90 is The Geniseys' most high-end car, originally under the name EQ900, which helped Geniseys achieve brand independence. It later returned as the official G90 as the true flagship sedan. Its elegant design and cutting-edge features rival those of Mercedes-Benz's "S-Class," the flagship sedan of the Koreans. So can the G90 compete with the S-Class?
The G90 is the epitome of Geniseith's design philosophy. The shape design has changed greatly, and the middle net is still a pentagonal middle net,
The wave grate adopts a "layered architecture", and the two layers of G matrix pattern are alternately superimposed in 3D to enhance the sense of luxury. The headlights on both sides of the grille feature the thinnest "two-wire design" introduced by Geniseis.
It's not just about being cool. To make the headlamps thinner, Geniseys introduced MLA technology to the G90's low beams, crossovering low beams, daytime running lights (integrated turn signals) and high beam lenses. In terms of low light, each module uses 200 micro-optical lenses, which reduces the size of the lenses compared to existing projectors and employs ultra-precision manufacturing techniques that produce the same amount of light while improving design perfection.
The new Mercedes-Benz S-Class was the first model in the world to use a "digital light". The digital lamp consists of a projection module consisting of 1.3 megapixels (the smallest unit of digital image) and 84 high-performance multi-beam "light-emitting diodes (LEDs)". In addition, it can optimize driving by adjusting the pixel brightness of individual headlamps based on data collected in real time by cameras, sensors and navigation, thus supporting safer driving.
The sleek body lines between the G90 and the S-Class also reflect a fairly high level of design. Starting from the hood, the G90 has a strong and dynamic feel along the lower part of the window from the hood to the trunk of the "parabolic" and the "sporting power line" of the fender around the wheels in harmony with the body volume.
The S-Class showcases the perfectly proportioned classic sedan shape with a short front overhang, longer wheelbase and balanced rear overhang. The figure line is drastically reduced along the sides, and the sleek chrome trims on the sides emphasize the sense of length.
Compared to the size, the G90 is a bit longer. G90 has a total length of 5275mm, a total width of 1930mm, and a size of 1490mm. The new S-Class is shorter and wider than the G90, with a total length of 5,180 mm, a total width of 1,955 mm and a total height of 1,505 mm, but larger than the previous model. In contrast, the S-Class Long Wheelbase Edition has a length of 5,290mm, similar to the average G90 model. Of course, the G90 long wheelbase model has a total length of 5465 mm, which is much larger than the S-class.
As for determining the wheelbase of the interior space, the G90 is overwhelming. The G90 has a wheelbase (wheelbase) length of 3,180 mm, which is 74 mm longer than the regular S-Class model (3,106 mm). The wheelbase (3,216mm) differs only 36mm from that of the S-class long wheelbase model. The G90 long wheelbase model has a wheelbase of 3,370 mm. It is also the longest compared to competing flagship long wheelbase models.
From the interior space, it is difficult to distinguish between the G90 and the S class. First of all, the G90 is based on the interior design concept of "the beauty of the blank" of Geniseis, although the configuration is very rich but the design is very simple. The rear seating space has been created into a luxurious space like never before. Using the highest quality materials for larger sedans, the standard 5-seater model independently adjusts the reclining of the left and right seats.
The interior of the S-Class is a harmonious combination of luxury and future-oriented. In particular, the 12.8-inch OLED center display and the 12.3-inch 3D instrument cluster stand out. The 3D instrument cluster allows you to see key information at a glance while driving, and the centre display is equipped with MBUX to provide a variety of functions. The rear seats provide maximum comfort and comfort. In particular, the rear seats of the S580 4MATIC model come standard with a Shopper bag, which moves the front passenger seat 37mm forward and is equipped with a folding seat and headrest function, providing more space and visibility for the rear seats.
In terms of powertrain, the S-class has a richer powertrain. The new S 350 d and the new S 400 d 4MATIC are powered by a powerful 3.0-litre six-cylinder diesel engine with a maximum output of 286 hp, a maximum torque of 61.2 kg.m and a maximum output of 330 hp and a maximum torque of 71.4 kg .m respectively.
The gasoline model S 500 4MATIC is powered by a highly efficient 3.0-litre in-line 6-cylinder petrol engine with a maximum output of 435 hp and a maximum torque of 53.0 kg.m. The new S 580 4MATIC is equipped with the M176, an 8-cylinder gasoline engine of the V-type, which delivers powerful performance and maximum efficiency. With the addition of system electrification technology, the maximum output is 503 horsepower, the maximum torque is 71.4 kg.m, and the performance is strong.
The G90, on the other hand, has only one powertrain. The gasoline 3.5 turbocharged engine has a maximum output of 380 hp and a maximum torque of 54.0 kgf·m. 9.3km/ (5-seater, 2WD, based on 19-inch tires) Engine with integrated fuel economy that improves acceleration responsiveness through dual-fuel injection system that optimally injects fuel according to vehicle driving conditions and water-cooled intercooler integrated fuel economy by rapid cooling of incoming air.
In terms of advanced specs, both cars are equipped with the best technology. First, both the G90 and S-Class can be steered at the rear. The Active Rear Steering (RWS) applied to the G90 allows the rear wheels to steer up to 4 degrees at low speeds in reverse (opposite direction to the front wheels) and up to 2 degrees at high speeds to the -phase (in the same direction as the front wheels). In addition, the rear wheels can be turned in the direction of simultaneous rotation of up to 2 degrees at the same time when changing lanes or when avoiding obstacles when driving at medium and high speeds to enhance cornering stability and facilitate flexible body handling.
In the case of the S-Class, rear axle steering allows a steering angle of up to 10 degrees, allowing large cars to also have the handling level of compact cars. When the vehicle is traveling at speeds below 60 km/h, the rear wheels move up to 10 degrees in the opposite direction to the front wheels. Therefore, the turning radius is reduced, which is not only convenient for parking, but also convenient for making u-turns or narrow alleys, increasing the stability of high-speed driving.
Both cars also perform well with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). The G90 comes standard with Highway Driving Assist 2 (HDA2), a wide-angle camera-based remote intelligent parking assist that uses ultrasonic sensors and a wide-angle camera to identify the parking line. Based on this, it helps facilitate parking by more accurately identifying vertical, parallel, and inclined parking spaces. But the G90's intelligent driver assistance is not as good as the S-class.
The new S-class ADAS performance is considered the best. Driver Assistance Packs collect information such as cameras, lidar and ultrasonic sensors to identify a wider range of vehicles, objects and pedestrians. In addition, detection of fast-moving pedestrians and oncoming vehicles has been added, and a lane departure prevention system has been applied to help maintain lanes by controlling the steering wheel instead of brake controls. Recently, it was the first in the world to receive the "Level 3" autonomous driving certification in Germany.
The difference between the Genises G90 and the Mercedes-Benz S-Class is actually the same as before, perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, Korean luxury cars will never reach the level of Mercedes-Benz, but Jenisses is working hard and has not given up.
