Unless your name is Elon Musk, carving out space in the current auto market for a brand new marque is a tall order, and doubly so if you’re looking to stake a claim to the luxury segment. But that is exactly what Hyundai has decided to do with its Genesis Motors offshoot.

The 2017 G90 is approaching the BMW 7 Series, Audi A8, and Mercedes-Benz S-Class head-on, not too mention the non-German competitors from Acura, Lexus, and Cadillac. With two engine options, upscale interior accoutrements, and subtly beautiful styling, the old guard should be taking notice. The 3.3-liter twin-turbo V6 in this G90 produces 365 horsepower and 376 lb-ft of torque, while the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 ups those numbers to 420 hp and 383 lb-ft. 

On the inside, metal, leather and wood greet driver and passengers, and a 4.5-inch improvement over the outgoing Hyundai Equus (which the G90 replaces) provides 37.8 inches of rear legroom. Both driver and passenger seats are highly adjustable, and a 17-speaker Lexicon system, managed by a 12.3-inch touchscreen, should appease audiophiles. 

The Genesis G90 represents a compelling option for full-size luxury sedan buyers, but will it sway enough shoppers to make a mark on the cut-throat segment?
