Overview

2025 Genesis G90

The 2025 Genesis G90 offers a blend of luxury and technology, but prospective used car buyers should approach with informed caution. While public ratings suggest good reliability, a notable number of recalls, including critical ones affecting ADAS and the instrument cluster, point to potential systemic issues. Complaints, though few, highlight electrical system and wheel concerns, notably the TPMS. Its premium fuel-sipping 3.5L V6 engine paired with an 8-speed automatic and all-wheel drive delivers a refined driving experience, but potential buyers must prioritize thorough pre-purchase inspections to mitigate risks associated with its advanced systems.

Critical Failure Risk

Multiple recalls have targeted the instrument cluster and ADAS systems due to software errors. These can lead to incorrect information display or unintended system behavior, such as false braking.

Early detection can help you avoid a $500-$2,000 repair.
