2020 Audi A8 vs. 2020 Genesis G90

The 2020 Audi A8 is one of those vehicles that you simply can’t ignore. It has an arresting personality that radiates. One look at it and you will instantly think of all the innovations and surprises that are on its massive body. Daring to check out this elite luxury sedan will have you wanting to know more about it, and you will not be able to resist it.

The 2020 Genesis G90, on the other hand, is the biggest luxury sedan from its automaker. Unlike the sophisticated appeal of the A8, the G90 looks bland. Let us find out if it can redeem itself with what it can offer through this comparison against the A8.

Design & Style

The exterior of the A8 elicits a closer look with its sculpted set of headlights and taillights. Lighting is taken into a whole new dimension, thanks to the impossible to ignore design and animated features. The balanced proportions effortlessly make people appreciate the design even more. The high-end profile does not stop outside. Its cabin is full of elegant details that are comparable to a first-class seat of an airplane.

The G90 has been redesigned this year. The updates gave it some character, like the new nose and big grille, but the styling made it look conservative. Both the exterior and interior looks good but in a boring way.

Technology & Safety

The new MMI works like a charm on the A8. It operates like smartphones so everyone will be able to master how to use it in no time. The controls can also be reorganized according to the user’s preference, making it less distracting to use while driving. The horde of safety technology features is also astounding. Not only they do allow you to remotely monitor the A8, it also ensures a safety ride with all its advanced sensors.

Except for its mediocre audio system, the infotainment setup of the G90 is fine. It also comes standard with plenty of driver-assistance features, which is very important.

Performance

All three trim levels of the A8 offers an exhilarating driving experience. It can be powerful as much as 453-hp from the V8 twin turbo engine. It runs on hybrid technology that basically extends its range while affording less refuels.

Unlike the heart-pounding performance of the A8, the V8 on the G90 can only deliver up to 420 hp. It is fast but is not as satisfying to drive.

The Bottom Line

The 2020 Genesis G90 can be a good alternative if the 2020 Audi A8 is not in the picture. Clearly, the A8 overshadows the G90 in a lot of ways.
