No variation to the trim formation is seen in the G90 for 2021 either in the 3.3T Premium or 5.0 Ultimate. The only difference between both of these trims is their specific engine and some additional creature comforts in the 5.0 Ultimate trim. We will see both the trims with RWD as standard and also can be updated to AWD as an option which costs $2500 over the base MSRP.
The Genesis G90 is a good choice if one is into buying a luxury brand, we would recommend you the Ultimate trim as it has a more powerful engine and adds many creature comforts to the car, it comes with heated seats, top-rated infotainment, and all safety features. The price is also reasonable when compared to the base model as the G90 Ultimate trim will cost you only $3,500 over the base MSRP and packs in more features.
"Although the G90 doesn't accelerate as rapidly as its competitors, neither the V-6 nor the V-8 engine will leave you wanting more power." - Car and Driver
The base trim of the G90 is powered by a turbocharged 3.3-liter V6 setup which churns out 356 horsepower and 376 lb-ft of torque but it feels faster than the larger V8, all the credits to its powerful low to mid-range torque band. The old-school 5.0-liter V8 engine produces a healthy 420 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque; it has a creamy-like power delivery but is not as responsive as the 3.3-liter V6.
Both of these models get an 8-speed automatic transmission, which is smooth in the towns and responsive enough when driving aggressively. Going for the V8 powertrain for the G90 will provide you with more opulence, butter-like power delivery. Coming to the power figures here the Lexus tops the list producing maximum power of 416 horsepower and producing a maximum torque of 442 lb-ft.
