The GMC Hummer EV SUV is a beast with stunning performance and rugged capabilities that live up to its aura.

</ul>

Power, Ride, and Handling

Driving Impressions

The difference between the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/compare-cars/results?vehicleIds=477556|477553/">two trims</a> of the GMC Hummer EV SUV is in the motors. The 2X model has a dual-motor electric powertrain making 570 horsepower and 7,400 lb-ft of torque. As you may have already guessed by the number, the 3X model has three motors generating 830 hp and 11,500 lb-ft of torque. No, those torque ratings are not typos. Both models have 4-wheel drive (4WD).
We tested the Hummer EV SUV 3X and came away impressed. This super SUV’s acceleration is simply astounding. In our experience driving the 3-motor electric powertrain, the Hummer can be a quiet, comfy cruiser or a cannonball. It’s relaxing to drive on the highway with the standard <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/gms-super-cruise-now-covers-750000-miles-of-roads/">Super Cruise</a> hands-free driving system engaged, but hold on tight when you <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/2026-gmc-hummer-ev-gets-gulp-quicker/">floor the accelerator</a> from a standstill.
The Watts to Freedom launch mode isn’t for the faint of heart; it throws you back in your seat like a steep drop on a roller coaster. With 830 hp and instant torque delivery to all four wheels, the Hummer has all the power you could realistically want.
The Hummer EV SUV is a surprisingly agile behemoth. According to <a href="https://www.kbb.com/gmc/">GMC</a>, it has the same turning radius as the little Chevy Bolt. This feat is achieved with 4-wheel steering; the rear wheels can turn up to 10 degrees. A low center of gravity (thanks to the battery packaged in the floor) and 4-wheel steering make this massive SUV more nimble and easier to park than we expected.
However, the Hummer can only disguise its weight so much. There are still some reminders that this is a hefty electric vehicle. The brakes are adequate, but it still brakes like a big, heavy truck.
The off-road chops of the Hummer EV SUV are admirable if you’re into off-roading with something this big. The Off-Road and Terrain drive modes, a tight turning radius, adjustable ground clearance, and full-length skid plates make the Hummer up for anything. The new KingCrab mode enhances the Hummer&#8217;s 4-wheel steering capability for off-road use.
CrabWalk mode is perhaps a bit gimmicky, but it’s a fun gimmick. We used it to get in and out of tight parallel parking spots — and we may have used it while exiting a drive-thru just to show off. Serious off-roaders will want the upgrades that come with the Extreme Off-Road Package, but every Hummer EV is a capable off-roader.
<h3>Range and Charging</h3>
The GMC Hummer EV SUV’s maximum range is 315 miles in the 2X model and 312 miles in the 3X model. The all-terrain tires on the Extreme Off-Road Package bring a slight penalty to range and efficiency: 289 miles for the 3X and 282 miles for the 2X. Those range ratings are long enough for most people’s daily driving duties, but the Rivian R1S goes up to 410 miles on a full charge.
The Hummer EV has impressive charging speeds. At a DC fast charging station, it can regain 100 miles of range in as little as 14 minutes. With a Level 2 charger at home, it can replenish up to 30 miles of range per hour. Also, the Hummer is able to charge with the expansive Tesla Supercharger network, but you’ll need an adapter from GM.

Macho Exterior

Exterior

Like its predecessors bearing the Hummer name, the Hummer EV SUV has an unmistakable aesthetic. The GMC badging is quite subtle, but there’s no question that this is a Hummer. It has a boxy shape but still looks futuristic in its third model year with a unique LED light signature and pronounced fender flares.
One of the coolest features of this SUV is the standard Infinity Roof with four modular sky panels. They’re removable and designed to stack up in the frunk. This roof allows you to open up the interior for a more open-air experience; plus, you can roll down the power rear drop glass in the swing gate. Transparent Sky Panels are optional, providing a panoramic view even with the top on.
The size of the Hummer EV SUV is similar to that of the Rivian R1S. Compared to a more traditional full-size SUV like the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/gmc/yukon/">GMC Yukon</a>, the Hummer is a little lower and wider but has a shorter overall length.

FAQs

Our Favorite Features and Tech

Favorite Features

Watts to Freedom 
The thrilling Watts to Freedom feature is a launch mode that unleashes the Hummer’s 3.5-second 0-60 mph time with the tri-motor powertrain.
CrabWalk 
Standard on both trims, CrabWalk uses 4-wheel steering to let the vehicle travel diagonally. The rear wheels can point up to 10 degrees in either direction. CrabWalk makes it easy to maneuver past obstacles in off-road situations, mitigating the need to reverse, steer, drive, and repeat.
Super Cruise 
The standard Super Cruise system allows hands-free driving on GM-mapped roads, including over 750,000 highway miles in North America.
UltraVision 
The available UltraVision system uses up to 18 camera views to let you see everything around your SUV, including what’s underneath you. This is useful in off-road driving and in parking lots.
Extreme Off-Road Package 
This available option package turns up the Hummer’s off-road capabilities with 35-inch mud terrain tires, front and rear e-lockers, ball spline half shafts, full-length skid plates, a rubber floor, and more.
Bidirectional charging 
This new feature for 2026 allows the GMC Hummer EV SUV to feed energy back into a house with the right home charging setup. It can also act as a generator for another EV, if needed.

Rugged and Upscale Interior

Interior

The interior of the Hummer EV SUV is a far cry from the military vehicle that inspired it. This SUV has premium materials, an upscale design, and the latest tech features. There’s plenty of space in both rows of seats, but we can’t help but think an SUV this big ought to have a third row. The big cargo hold (35.9 cubic feet) gets bigger with fold-flat back seats (81.8 cubic feet). Oh, and there’s an 11-cubic-foot “frunk” under the hood, which we found handy when backed into a charging station at a grocery store.
The interior design strikes a nice balance of rugged and luxurious. It’s also high-tech, with a digital gauge cluster and a vast 13.4-inch infotainment system with beautiful graphics and a user-friendly interface powered by Google. Notably, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are unavailable.
The Hummer’s cabin is designed to be both premium and durable, and it does that job well, but similarly priced electric SUVs feel more elegant inside. We’re mainly thinking of the Rivian R1S, which has a nicer interior (with 3-row seating) and a lower starting price.

KBB Editors' Overview

The GMC Hummer EV SUV made quite a statement when it first came out in 2024, and it’s still a head-turner in its third model year. It’s an electric vehicle that’s big, bold, and brash, and it’s as powerful and capable as its muscular design implies. It’s also high-tech with features like the Super Cruise hands-free driving system, a Google built-in infotainment system, and bidirectional charging. We can’t help but love its parlor tricks like CrabWalk mode and the Watts to Freedom boost mode, but this roomy SUV can also be used as a practical daily driver. Most electric SUVs are more efficient and more affordable, but none have the presence of the mighty Hummer.

Optional Equipment

Pricing - Dynamic

Pricing - Static

The GMC Hummer EV SUV has few direct rivals, but the closest is the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/rivian/r1s/">Rivian R1S</a>, which has a starting price under $80,000. However, the tri-motor Rivian is priced very close to the Hummer EV SUV 3X. One could also compare the Hummer EV SUV to the mechanically similar Cadillac Escalade IQ, a 3-row electric luxury SUV starting at about $130,000.
Before buying a Hummer EV SUV, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. GMC Hummer EV SUV resale value is outstanding for the segment. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

Battery and Efficiency

Under the Hood

A substantial 170-kWh battery pack delivers fuel to the motors in the GMC Hummer EV. Although it’s efficient compared to a full-size SUV with a gas engine, efficiency is not a strong suit of the Hummer EV. Rated at 53 combined MPGe for the 2X trim and 52 MPGe for the 3X, it’s one of the least efficient EVs on the market. The Rivian R1S gets up to 85 MPGe combined, good for lower <a href="https://fueleconomy.gov/feg/make.shtml">EPA</a>-estimated fuel costs by a factor of $45 per month. In fact, there are hybrids with gas engines that have lower fuel costs than the all-electric Hummer.
<h3>3-Year/36,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
The GMC Hummer EV SUV is backed by a 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. The battery and related components are covered by an 8-year/100,000-mile warranty. Additionally, GMC throws in complimentary maintenance for your first visit.
<h3>Safety</h3>
Standard safety features in the GMC Hummer EV SUV include enhanced automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, HD Surround Vision, and the Super Cruise hands-free highway driving system.

What's new for 2026

A new Carbon Fiber Edition is added to the GMC Hummer EV SUV lineup for 2026. As its name implies, it generously heaps on carbon-fiber exterior trim and adds exclusive carbon-fiber wheels. 2026 also introduces the KingCrab 4-wheel steering mode intended for off-roading, which is available on older Hummer EVs as a software update. Another nice update this year is bidirectional charging capability; the Hummer can act as a generator for a house or another EV.

The roomy 3-row 2026 GMC Acadia blends rugged and luxurious in a stylish package that&#8217;s safe, practical, and family-friendly.

<ul>
<li>Below-average resale value</li>
<li>Unrefined engine</li>
</ul>

Power, Ride, And Handling

The 2026 GMC Acadia is powered by a 328-horsepower turbocharged 4-cylinder engine matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. We tend to like having an old-fashioned V6 in a vehicle dedicated to hauling lots of people and cargo, but this turbo-4 did just fine when we tested it in real-life family car duty with all three rows occupied. Even when full of passengers, the Acadia never felt underpowered, but the engine did get a bit noisy under hard acceleration, subtracting from the luxurious feel.
Ride quality is a strong suit of the GMC Acadia. In the Denali model we tested, GMC hit the mark in providing a ride comparable to that of a more expensive luxury SUV. The suspension is supple (especially the optional adaptive suspension in the Ultimate Package), the steering is just right, and the brakes are adequate.
One of our favorite features of the Acadia is <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/gms-super-cruise-now-covers-750000-miles-of-roads/">Super Cruise</a> (optional on every trim), which allows for almost effortless hands-free driving on more than 750,000 miles of North American highways. It even does automatic lane changes. The Acadia’s plush driver’s seat with Super Cruise on and the Bose audio system delivering your music or podcasts isn’t a bad way to eat up miles on the highway.
This might seem like a small thing, but the recently redesigned GMC Acadia remedied one of our biggest gripes with the previous generation. The frustrating, horizontally oriented gearshift buttons are gone, replaced with GM’s easy-to-use electric column shifter. It makes every drive that much more pleasant.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
According to <a href="https://fueleconomy.gov/feg/make.shtml" target="_blank" rel="noopener">EPA</a> estimates, the GMC Acadia’s only engine option returns 20 city/27 highway/23 combined mpg with front-wheel drive and 19 city/24 highway/21 combined mpg with all-wheel drive. These efficiency ratings are just okay for this class, especially with hybrids getting more popular.

Handsome Exterior

<a href="https://www.kbb.com/gmc/">GMC</a> did a nice job visually differentiating the three trims of the GMC Acadia. The base Elevation trim looks nice, if a bit basic, the AT4 model is decidedly rugged, and the Acadia Denali looks like a luxury SUV.

Super Cruise 
GM’s hands-free driving system is among the best of its kind, and it’s optional on all three trims of the GMC Acadia. Super Cruise allows for relaxed, hands-free driving on over 750,000 miles of North American highways.
Rugged AT4 model 
In addition to standard all-wheel drive and a handsome appearance package, the Acadia AT4 comes with an off-road-tuned suspension system, hill descent control, all-terrain tires, and a little extra ride height.
Fancy Denali model 
The Denali name is synonymous with luxury in trucks and SUVs, and the Acadia Denali doesn’t disappoint. It has stylish Galvano Silver exterior trim, 20-inch wheels, a head-up display, and a premium leather interior with heated and ventilated front seats, plus power-folding third-row seats. It gets even fancier in the new Denali Ultimate trim.
Smart Slide seats 
These second-row seats can tilt and slide for easy access to the third row. We can confirm from experience that they work well even with child car seats installed.
15-inch touchscreen 
This customizable Google-based infotainment system has a 15-inch screen, Google Maps, voice control, and so much more. Other standard tech features include an 11-inch digital gauge cluster, Bose premium audio, and a wireless charging pad.
Drive modes 
In addition to the comfortable Tour mode, the GMC Acadia is available with Sport, Snow/Ice, Off-Road, and Tow/Haul drive modes, making it ready for just about anything.

Roomy Interior

The GMC Acadia’s interior upholds its brand’s reputation for blending rugged and luxurious. The front seats are comfortable, and the recent redesign made the technology more modern and intuitive. We like the 15-inch touchscreen display with Google built-in, so all of the familiar apps like Google Maps are at your fingertips. The Acadia gets especially nice in the Denali trim, which offers luxuries like diamond-stitched leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, open-pore wood trim, and a panoramic sunroof. Climb in the back, and the second row is almost as comfortable as the front, especially with the second-row captain’s chairs that are standard in the AT4 and Denali trims (optional in Elevation).
We’ve tested more than enough midsize 3-row SUVs to confirm that not all third-row seats are created equal. However, the way back of the GMC Acadia is one of the good ones. Third-row access is fairly easy when the car is equipped with Smart Slide seats. Once you’re back there, third-row accommodations are pretty good, with 32.1 inches of legroom, four cupholders, two USB-C ports, and two air vents. This third row is still more suitable for kids than adults, but it’s one of the roomier and more easily accessible seating arrangements in this class.
Another strength of the GMC Acadia is its cargo room. There are 23 cubic feet of space behind the third row, 57.3 cubic feet behind the second row, and 97.5 cubic feet behind the first row. That puts it up there with the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/grand-highlander/">Toyota Grand Highlander</a> and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/volkswagen/atlas/">Volkswagen Atlas</a> as one of the roomiest <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-mid-size-suvs/">midsize SUVs</a> available.
All of this to say that the GMC Acadia is one of the most ready and willing midsize SUVs to comfortably carry seven people and a load of groceries with little compromise.

The GMC brand has found a sweet spot in producing trucks and SUVs that fall somewhere between mainstream and luxury. The GMC Acadia is one such example: a midsize 3-row family SUV that’s a little more rugged and upscale than most of its rivals while remaining more affordable than similar SUVs from luxury brands. It makes a strong case as a practical family hauler with one of the biggest interiors in its class and excellent safety ratings. Meanwhile, the capable AT4 trim and fancy Denali model give the Acadia a unique personality that makes it stand out.
We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-mid-size-suvs/">midsize SUVs</a>, including the GMC Acadia.

Because it’s well equipped at the base level and gets pretty luxurious when fully loaded, the GMC Acadia’s pricing is a bit above the average for a midsize <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-3-row-suvs/">3-row SUV</a>. Keeping it in the GM family, the mechanically identical <a href="https://www.kbb.com/chevrolet/traverse/">Chevy Traverse</a> is a little cheaper, and the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/buick/enclave/">Buick Enclave</a> is a little pricier.
Before buying an Acadia, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. GMC Acadia resale value is below average for the segment. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

Engine and Transmission

A turbocharged 2.5-liter 4-cylinder under the hood of the GMC Acadia makes 328 hp and 326 lb-ft of torque. This engine links to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is the default setup, with all-wheel drive available as an option or standard in the more off-road-focused AT4 variant. Maximum towing capacity is 5,000 pounds, which is about average for the class.
<h3>3-Year/36,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
GMC’s new vehicle warranty lasts three years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. Powertrains are covered for five years or 60,000 miles, and roadside assistance is included. These are typical terms in the segment. The first scheduled maintenance visit is also free.
<h3>Safety</h3>
The GMC Acadia earned a 5-Star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NHTSA</a>). It’s also garnered the Top Safety Pick award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>) because of favorable crash-test results. Moreover, the Acadia provides a comprehensive array of standard safety features, including active blind spot assistance, Side Bicyclist Alert, and automatic emergency braking at intersections.

For 2026, the Denali Reserve package is discontinued and effectively replaced by the Denali Ultimate trim. It&#8217;s the new peak of luxury and tech in the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/compare-cars/results?vehicleIds=477692|477730|477685/">Acadia lineup</a>, with unique aesthetics inside and out, upgraded interior materials, and premium features like a panoramic sunroof, performance suspension, 22-inch wheels, and a Bose Performance Series 16-speaker audio system.
Also, the Acadia has two new paint options: Glacier White replaces White Frost, and Riverstone replaces Deep Bronze. Additionally, a new Key Card feature allows owners to use a card instead of a traditional key fob to lock, unlock, and start the car.

Despite its relative youth, the 2026 Genesis G90 is a strong player in the large luxury sedan class.

<ul>
<li>Unimpressive fuel economy</li>
</ul>

Power, Ride and Handling

If any driver of a large luxury sedan (as opposed to any large luxury sedan driver) is really interested in blasting away as the lights turn green, the base G90 3.5T will accelerate from standstill to 60 mph in around 5.5 seconds, thanks to its turbocharged V6 generating 375 horsepower. For comparison, an equivalent BMW 740i xDrive has the same number of horses, but will gallop to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds. Or the Mercedes-Benz S 500 4Matic flexes 442 hp and hits 60 mph in 4.2 seconds. The extra thrust of the 409-hp G90 3.5T E-SC shaves about a tenth of a second from its stablemate’s acceleration time.
Not that this kind of metric is really crucial among large luxury sedans. As long as there’s enough muscle to back up their car’s prestigious presence, then most owners should be happy. We’ve never been unhappy with the G90’s gumption. What’s more, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/reviews/experiencing-the-2025-genesis-g90/">the serene cabin and unflustered ride quality have been positively mood-lifting</a>.
The “entry-level” G90 has an adaptive suspension with a camera that reads the road ahead and then adjusts itself within milliseconds to suit. The supercharged G90 enjoys a super-smooth air suspension. Rear-wheel steering comes with the supercharged engine, giving this big car a surprising and enjoyable dash of athleticism. It also helps when maneuvering in tight spots.

The base 3.5T engine achieves 21 mpg in combined city/highway driving. The electric supercharger and the mild-hybrid setup of the 3.5T E-SC MHEV version results in 20 mpg combined. This isn’t competitive. For example, base versions of the BMW 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class run to 27 mpg combined and 24 mpg combined, respectively.

Desirable Exterior

“I want this car” was pretty much the standard reaction of our friends and family members whenever they saw the G90. We get it. There’s no design weirdness or conservative blandness, just a well-executed flagship sedan with the right looks to accompany its classy status.
The new-for-2026 Prestige Black version is available in black, or (perhaps less predictably) white. The details that come with it (all in black) are things like the grille, Genesis badges, 21-inch alloy wheels (with floating center caps), and the brake calipers.

Luxurious seating 
The G90’s front seats are supremely comfortable, and we think the rear seats are just as good. Nappa leather upholstery is standard, while the upper trim adds heated/ventilated/massaging/reclining rear seats — plus a rear center console with touchscreen controls and a wireless charging pad.
Bang &amp; Olufsen audio 
We’ve found that the top 23-speaker/1,400-watt surround-sound array excels at reproducing many different types of music. It even has settings like Boston Symphony Hall to give listeners the feeling that they’re in real-life concert venues. The base G90 has a great B&amp;O system as well.
Powered doors 
They don’t just close softly, they also open with the press of a button. One particular detail we really like is how the driver’s door closes automatically once the driver climbs in and steps on the brake pedal. The supercharged model has this as standard.
Genesis Digital Key 2 
This feature turns an iPhone, Apple Watch, or Samsung smartphone into a key through Apple Wallet and Samsung Pass. We found it wonderfully convenient that — in addition to locking, unlocking, and starting the G90 — this function recognizes the driver and loads customized vehicle preferences accordingly.
Highway Driving Assist 2 
Adaptive cruise control, lane centering, and road sign recognition combine in this standard feature to alleviate the grind of long freeway stretches. Like a lot of the driver assistance technology in Genesis vehicles, we’ve found it to be among the best out there.
3.5T E-SC 
Boosting the base engine by 34 hp and 14 lb-ft of torque with an electric supercharger might sound like a lot of effort for not much reward, but we’re fans of this engine’s easy and responsive power delivery.

High-Caliber Interior

Smart design, fine materials, abundant tech, and superb comfort all go toward consolidating the 2026 <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/genesis-shows-off-super-luxe-g90-interior/">G90’s high ranking</a> in the already lofty large luxury sedan class.
The new Prestige Black version is a rich Goth’s fantasy car — with black Nappa leather, “Black Ash” wood trim, anodized black speaker grilles, bespoke key fobs, plus black controls and vents.
Accommodations in the second row are appropriately swish, offering power-adjustable and reclining rear seats that are also heated and ventilated while offering a massage function and an extendable footrest for the passenger-side seat. Add wireless charging and beautifully cushioned headrests covered in a suede-like material, and it is among the poshest second rows on the market. Rear legroom measures 37.8 inches, which we’ve found is plenty for adults of average size. If anyone needs greater space, they can check out the Audi A8, BMW 7 Series, and Mercedes-Benz S-Class — all with more than 40 inches of rear legroom.

We like the Genesis G90 almost more than any other car of its kind. We say “almost” because there’s a tie at the top of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/cars/best-luxury-full-size-cars/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">our full-size luxury car rankings</a>, with the G90 and the Mercedes-Benz S-Class sharing the accolade. It’s not like the rest of the cars in this class are that far behind, however, because these are some of the most impressive conveyances in the world.
They all have superb tech and lavish comfort features. It’s just that <a href="https://www.kbb.com/genesis/">Genesis</a> has impressed us by coming from its lowly position as newest premium marque to major contender in such a short time. And the G90 is not just a great large luxury sedan by a new(ish) company — it would be a fine example of the genre no matter who built it. That’s why it has equal billing with the S-Class, that giant of the luxury sector.
We’ve logged hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/cars/best-luxury-full-size-cars/">full-size luxury cars</a>, including the Genesis G90.

The 2026 Genesis G90 has a starting sticker price of $94,195, with the range-topping Prestige Black kicking off at $107,245.

Buyers in the market for this kind of car generally want the top version and can afford to pay the extra money, so we’re happy to recommend the 3.5T E-SC model and leave it to personal choice regarding cosmetics.
Rivals like the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/bmw/7-series/">BMW 7 Series</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mercedes-benz/s-class/">Mercedes-Benz S-Class</a>, and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/porsche/panamera/">Porsche Panamera</a> start higher, while the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/audi/a8/">Audi A8</a> and revamped-for-2026 <a href="https://www.kbb.com/lexus/ls/">Lexus LS</a> tend to be more competitive. Keep in mind, though, the G90 also comes with a lot of standard equipment, including all-wheel drive (AWD).
Before buying a new G90 large luxury sedan, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should be paying. We expect resale values to be around average for the class. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

The 2026 G90 starts out with a perfectly fine twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 making a correspondingly acceptable 375 hp and 391 lb-ft of torque. This links to a standard all-wheel drive system through an 8-speed automatic transmission.
The more muscular optional configuration keeps the turbochargers, then adds an <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/2023-genesis-g90-gets-supercharged-hybrid-model/">electric supercharger</a>, boosting output to 409 hp and 405 lb-ft of torque. It also brings more mild-hybrid hardware to make the fuel-saving engine stop/restart action appropriately smooth for a flagship sedan.
<h3>5-Year/60,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
The new-vehicle warranty from Genesis lasts five years or 60,000 miles, whichever happens first, with roadside assistance for five years at unlimited mileage. The powertrain is covered for 10 years or 100,000 miles. These terms are among the best in the automotive industry. Genesis also includes three years or 36,000 miles of free scheduled maintenance.
<h3>Safety Ratings</h3>
The 2025 G90 has received the second-highest honor of Top Safety Pick from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>). Standard safety features include forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keeping/lane-following assistance, and a 360-degree camera system.

What's new for

A Prestige Black version comes along to top the range this year. Based on the variant with the most powerful engine, this treatment is cosmetic, with additions and changes both inside and out. We’ll go into more detail in our Interior and Exterior sections below. This second-generation G90 debuted for the 2023 model year.
