2017 Hyundai Genesis G90 Review – Video

 

The familiar Tau 5.0-liter V-8 crowns the line, with 420 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque at 5000 rpm. But the base engine is an all-new twin-turbocharged 3.3-liter V-6 which churns out 365 horsepower and 376 lb-ft of torque at 1300 rpm (in Korea and other markets, the 311-hp 3.8-liter V-6 as seen in the Genesis/G80 is the starter). Both engines accept regular fuel (with some power degradation) and are backed by a smaller eight-speed automatic transmission that sheds 18 pounds. Rear-wheel drive is the standard setup, while H-TRAC all-wheel drive, biased toward the rear but able to send up to 40 percent of available power to the front, is optional.
