Genesis G90 Price: MSRP, Trims & Real-World Cost

The G90 is Genesis's full-size flagship sedan, and it competes with the long-wheelbase luxury sedans from Germany and Japan. Its price depends mostly on one decision: the standard 3.5T engine, or one of the e-Supercharger versions above it.

The headline range above and the trim rows below are not measured the same way. The low end of the range equals the 3.5T AWD sticker price plus the destination charge. The trim rows are MSRPs before destination, so add that charge when you compare them with the range or with a dealer quote.

Three configurations are listed here. The 3.5T AWD is the entry point. The 3.5T e-Supercharger AWD sits well above it, and the e-Supercharger Black is the most expensive of the three rows.

• 3.5T AWD: the base G90 and the lowest price on the page.
• 3.5T e-Supercharger AWD: adds the electrically assisted supercharger setup, and the price reflects it.
• 3.5T e-Supercharger Black: the top row in the table, with the Black styling package.

The range at the top of the page runs a little higher than the last table row. Car and Driver's upper figure is for the e-SC Prestige Black, which is not the same line item as the e-Supercharger Black MSRP shown above. If that top configuration is what you want, ask a Genesis dealer for its exact sticker.

Destination is a fixed fee that every manufacturer charges for shipping a new vehicle to the dealer. It appears on the window sticker as its own line and applies to every trim.

Because the trim table above is before destination, a G90 listed in a review without it can look cheaper than the car on the lot. When you compare the G90 against a competitor, check whether both prices include destination, or add it to both.

Two sources may quote different G90 prices for the same car. The common reasons:

• One source lists MSRP only, and another includes destination.
• A headline range may span trims that a trim-by-trim list breaks out differently.
• Model-year changes and mid-year trim updates can shift the lineup.
• Options, wheels, and paint can move a final sticker above the base figure.

Use the trim rows for planning and the range for a quick sense of scale. Then confirm the exact number with a dealer for the configuration you want.

The MSRP does not cover everything you pay at the dealership. Expect these to come on top:

• Sales tax, title, and registration, which vary by state and sometimes by county.
• Dealer documentation fees, which dealers set themselves and which some states cap.
• Paid options and accessories.
• Any market adjustment, if a dealer adds one.

Ask for an itemized out-the-door quote in writing. That figure is the one to compare across dealers.

A luxury flagship costs more to run than a mainstream sedan. Insurance is the first line to price, since quotes depend on trim, driving record, and ZIP code. Fuel is the second: the e-Supercharger versions may use more fuel than the base 3.5T, so check the EPA estimates for the trim you are considering.

Depreciation is the largest cost over time for most luxury sedans, and resale values vary with trim, mileage, and condition. Genesis publishes its maintenance schedule and warranty terms on its website, and reading them before you buy tells you what the first years of ownership will include.

Genesis offers loans and leases through its financing arm and through outside lenders. Rates, terms, and incentives change month to month and by region. A lease payment depends on mileage, residual value, and credit, while a loan payment depends on down payment and term.

Get a pre-approved offer from your own bank or credit union before you visit the dealer. It gives you something to compare the dealer's financing against.
