2020 Genesis G90 Rolls In With Fresh Design, New Tech Features


Korea’s Genesis EQ900 has just received a facelift and was renamed the G90 in order to fall in line with the automaker’s overseas naming policy.

Unveiled during a local event in Seoul, the executive sedan benefits from an extensive makeover on the outside, which brings a reworked grille, four-point headlights, new hood creases, redesigned taillights and a few other features.


The side turn signals ‘split’ the headlights in two, there are new exhaust tips and optional 19-inch wheels with sound absorption to reduce tire noise. Genesis is offering the 2020 G90 in nine exterior colors, including the new Porto Red and Gold Coast Silver, and new two-tone color and trim combinations, namely Brown and Brown/Blue.


Inside, things have largely been carried over, although the automaker does mention a re-engineered 12.3-inch infotainment display with smartphone integration and Intelligent Car Management Service. The central air vents are now slimmer and customers will have more trim options to choose from.

Some of the technologies present in the 2020 Genesis G90 are Active Noise Cancellation, Adaptive Suspension Control with electronic damping, and automatic external air prevention that automatically adjusts to recirculation mode when the sensors detect a polluted environment or the car enters a tunnel.


Standard safety features include Lane Follow Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist and Safe Exit Assist.


The Korean automaker’s local website reveals a choice of three engines and as many grades for the 2020 Genesis G90. These are the 3.8-liter GDi, 3.3T GDi and 5.0 GDi. The first two are available in Luxury, Premium Luxury and Prestige trim, whereas the 5.0 only with the Prestige.


Genesis says the redesigned G90 will enter additional markets beginning next year, so we should know more about the U.S.-spec in the coming months.

Limited Edition Ford GT 'Competition Series' Is All About The Track

Image
Ford's new GT Competition Series was built with weight-saving in mind, but also with an improved center of gravity for better road-holding. Among its features, you'll notice the lightweight carbon fiber racing stripes, A-Pillars and side mirrors, as well as the unique race-inspired Perspex acrylic engine hatch with integrated venting. Thanks to the manual latch and the carbon fiber prop rod, weight near the roof has been reduced, though Ford engineers went even further in their quest to make the car lighter, by making the bulkhead Gorilla Glass behind the driver about half as thick (and as light) as on other models. "The Ford GT has racing in its blood," said Ford exec Raj Nair, while adding that the Competition Series "was developed with the most hardcore track enthusiasts in mind, providing a tailored set of lightweight features and unique livery to match." There are also plenty of remaining performance features from the production car, such as

Alpine A110 Hits Geneva With Pure, Legende And GT4 Versions

Image
Renault’s reborn Alpine brand has been getting rave reviews for its new A110 and now, as promised, it’s revealed new versions of its coupe at the Geneva Motor Show. Following the success of the sold-out Premiere Edition, the A110 will now be offered in Pure and Legende trims. The A110 Pure is targeted at driving enthusiasts. It features one-piece Sabelt sports seats that weigh barely more than 13 kilograms (28.6 pounds) each and, combined with other weight-saving measures, helps keep the curb weight below 1,100 kg ( 2,425 lbs). It’s not entirely stripped out, though, and still comes with features like air-conditioning and satellite navigation. Buyers can also add upgraded Brembo brakes and an adaptive exhaust system and can upgrade to the adjustable comfort seats. Those come standard on the Legende model, which is geared more towards every day driving and grand touring and comes with leather upholstery. Customers can also choose between two Focal sound systems and two wheel

Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet Is A Crossover For Droptop Lovers

Image
Droptop crossovers have always been rather odd and the T-Roc Cabriolet is no different. It will be the only convertible Volkswagen on sale for the foreseeable future and will celebrate its public debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. Rather than simply removing the roof of the standard T-Roc, Volkswagen has drastically altered the vehicle’s structure and body. In fact, its wheelbase is 37 mm longer than the standard T-Roc while its overall length is up by 34 mm. In addition, the Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet features structural strengthening in the underbody, side panels, cross members, doors, and windscreen frame to make up for the lack of a roof. The folding fabric roof developed by Volkswagen retracts in just nine seconds at speeds of up to 19 mph (30.5 km/h) and is similar in operation to the roof of the outgoing Golf Cabriolet. The presence of the soft top reduces trunk space by 161 liters down from the 284 liters of the run-of-the-mill T-Roc. We don’t think bu
