I wonder what powertrain choices it'll offer. The G70 and G80 already have around 360hp V6 engines, and as a full-size executive sedan this should offer something a bit more potent. The V6 is barely cutting it for the LS 500 so no clue how the G90 will do with it, especially since Genesis also discontinued their V8s.
Lexus is trying so hard to push that sluggish hybrid version of the LS500...

Oh and it's TINY, from both an interior and trunk perspective. I was almost given one once as a rental (had reserved a 7-series). We could get ONE of our suitcases in the trunk area, but only if we had bungees to hold the hatch down, because it wouldn't come within a foot of closing.
So yeah, definitely not a good comparison.

Panamera is an E-Class size car so I don't know why it's even in this conversation.
Back to the G90, we get some slightly better views of the interior, but with all the gloss black trim I assume this is a base model- pretty bland compared to the current lineup of Genesis interiors. I get that the G90 is trying to go after the whole "minimalist" trend like the recent S-Class and Range Rover but there isn't much in here so far that separates it aesthetically from an Ioniq 5.
The video confirms that it does have the new air suspension, but we already knew it would.

You have to wait to see the interior when its not covered up, and not being lit by a cameras exterior light.

LOL. Well, I’m just wondering if any Hyundai product has ever had air suspension….so Genesis included which I already know has never had it….maybe some Hyundai models from the past might have offered it. As you know, a Lexus is just a Toyota…just as a Genesis is a Hyundai.

So does the E-Class, we just don't get it as it's exclusively for China.
The closest equivalent to a LWB Panamera sold here is the Volvo S90, which itself was originally aimed at the Chinese market in LWB form, and the now-cancelled Infiniti Q70 LWB. All of them are still just executive midsize sedans underneath.

The E-class long wheel base does not crest 200" in length like the Panamera long wheelbase does at 204". It's also wider, lining up to the width of the Panamera lines up to the S-class. The Panamera executive was developed specifically to prevent people from choosing a S-class and 7-series. Porsche was very clear about that when they launched the Executive trim for the last-generation.

The current one is really awkward in some ways.
