G90 vs. 7 Series: Sizing Them Up

When it comes to luxury sedans, the two leading vehicles in the class are the 2019 Genesis G90 and the 2019 BMW 7 Series. Each vehicle offers exterior style and interior comfort that luxury vehicle shoppers yearn for, but don’t be confused—the two have their share of differences, with the G90 leading in most important categories. Read on for more information on some of the key differences between the 2019 Genesis G90 and the BMW 7 Series.

Under the Hood

Both the G90 and 7 Series are four-door, five-passenger vehicles. They each combine luxury, style, and power. But when it comes to power, we’re betting you’ll like what the G90 has roaring under its hood. Specifically, it comes standard with a twin-turbo V6 engine that can generate up to 376 horsepower. A standard 8-speed automatic transmission makes shifting gears practically unnoticeable when you get behind the wheel. There's also rear-wheel drive to keep things steady and smooth. Then, of course, there’s the available 420-horsepower V8 on the Ultimate trim level, with all-wheel drive as an option. The BMW 7 Series isn’t too shabby, either, but a standard V6 330-horsepower engine doesn’t stand up to what the G90 offers, both in terms of power and torque within the engine package. It's a fun experience every time you get behind the wheel of a 2019 Genesis G90.

Standard and Available Features

When shopping for a new luxury car, sometimes it’s the little things that can make the biggest difference. The good news about the 2019 G90 is that it comes loaded with the “little things.” Its features include safety offerings such as auto emergency braking, pedestrian detection, head-up windshield display, a rear camera, active cruise control, and a driver attention alert system. With all of these safety features, it’s no surprise that the 2019 G90 was named an IIHS Top Safety Pick. Other features include a 17-speaker premium audio system, leather seats, rear and side power sunshades, a 22-way adjustable driver’s seat and 16-way adjustable passenger’s seat, and a comprehensive infotainment system.

A More Spacious Interior

Both the G90 and BMW 7 Series feature luxurious spacious interiors, offering ample room for everything from camping to a summer family vacation to a tailgate before the big game. But your space goes further in the G90, as it offers up to 15.7 cubic feet of trunk space. This is in addition to the premium leather interior, hands-free smart trunk for when your hands are full, wireless phone charging, soft-close doors, and adjustable lighting.

Bottom Line

You can see why the G90 is always near the top of the luxury sedan list. It’s got power, comfort, space, great features and a whole lot more packed inside the vehicle platform. But there’s another big reason why many luxury car drivers have come to prefer the G90 to other vehicles in the class: its MSRP. Compared to others in the vehicle class—including the BMW 7 Series—the G90 is also more affordable . All of these features in a luxury package in a model that’s more affordable than BMW, Audi, and other luxury makes? It’s a winning recipe, whether you go with the standard G90 trim level or the advanced Ultimate trim. Either way, you can't lose.
