"The 2018 Genesis G90’s luxury-grade cabin and excellent fit and finish make it worthy of competition with pricier rivals. High-end materials include standard Nappa leather and genuine wood trim, but there are a few plastic surfaces. The seats are supportive on long jaunts, and there’s plenty of space in the front and back. Nearly every feature the G90 offers comes standard, but there are a few add-ons available."- cars.usnews
Seating and comfort
The Genesis G90 interior is surely exquisite but doesn't reach the BMW or Mercedes-Benz. The leatherette upholstery looks premium with tasteful use of wood. Use of plastic at certain places shows the price difference between rival brands and Genesis.
However, looking at the features, we must say that Genesis has done a splendid job to keep up with the competitors. Heated and cooled seats, 22-way for driver and 17-way for passenger power-maneuvered seats, heated steering wheel, three-zone climate control comes as standard whereas a buyer has to go harder on its pocket to add these to their BMW or Benz.

The G90 can easily accommodate five people including the driver. Being the highest sedan in the segment, the G90 delivers most spacious headroom among the competitors. Also, longer wheelbase gives it humongous legroom in the rear cabin making it the queen of space in this competitive segment.
Infotainment System
The 2018 Genesis G90 comes loaded with a 12.3-inch infotainment screen with navigation, rotary knob, and Bluetooth. The standard Lexicon-branded 17-speaker sound output produces an immersive surround sound experience which is pretty amazing as compared to its competitors.
The 5.0 ultimate trim offers an added pair of 10.3 inch rear entertainment screens to provide further excitement. However, unlike its competitors, Genesis lacks the essential smartphone integration options. Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, MirrorLink, Wifi aren't even available as options which may compel the buyers to think twice.
Cargo/Trunk Volume
Despite being longest in the segment, the G90 occupies most of its rear space for its cabin, leaving a little usable space behind that we call the trunk. The sedan has a 15.7 ft cube of trunk space which pulls it down at bottom of the chart, just ahead of the more cramped up CLS.
