2026 Genesis G90 3.5T: Kirkland Buyers Guide
Quick Answer: 2026 Genesis G90 3.5T
The 3.5T is the entry point to the G90 lineup at $92,700 MSRP ($94,195 with the $1,495 destination charge). It has a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 making 375 hp and 391 lb-ft, an 8-speed automatic, and all-wheel drive, with an EPA rating of 18 city, 26 highway, and 21 combined. Nappa leather, massaging front seats, a 14-speaker Lexicon audio system, and Genesis's full driver-assistance suite are part of the base price. What it does not have are the E-SC trims' electric supercharger, air suspension, and rear-wheel steering.
What the starting G90 already includes
It is easy to assume the cheapest flagship is a stripped one, and with the G90 that assumption is wrong. The base 3.5T has Nappa leather on every seat, dual power front seats that heat, ventilate, and massage, a heated steering wheel, and the Lexicon premium audio system. On the driver-assistance side, Smart Cruise Control, Highway Driving Assist 2, a Blind-Spot View Monitor, Safe Exit Assist, and rear cross-traffic collision-avoidance are all on the standard list, along with Remote Smart Parking Assist 2, which can maneuver the car into a space using its surround-view cameras and ultrasonic sensors. Genesis Connected Services, with features like Digital Key 2 and stolen-vehicle recovery, is included for first owners of 2023-and-newer Genesis models.
The ride is where this trim differs from the other trims. The 3.5T uses an adaptive suspension that reads the road ahead and adjusts damping before the wheels reach a bump, which suits the broken, patched pavement that winter leaves behind on Eastside arterials. It weighs roughly 4,828 pounds, around 300 pounds less than the E-SC trims, and has a 40.1-foot turning circle.
Power and efficiency
With 375 hp and 391 lb-ft going to all four wheels through an 8-speed automatic, the base engine has plenty of reserve for merging onto I-405 or passing on a two-lane road. The transmission uses navigation data to pick gears for the road ahead, a feature Genesis calls Predictive Shift. Five drive modes let you move between an efficiency-minded setting and a firmer, quicker-reacting one. The EPA estimate is 18 city and 26 highway, and Genesis recommends premium fuel.
Who the 3.5T suits
This trim fits the driver who does most of the driving personally, or whose passengers are mostly in the front seats. If rear-seat comfort is the point of the purchase, the rear massage and ventilation on the E-SC will matter; if not, the roughly $10,300 difference is real money that can go to a lower payment. A buyer can ask to compare the two on one visit, subject to what is on the lot, and Dave P., who came in to test drive a G70, described how it goes: "She was more interested in what I wanted and needed than she was in just selling me something." The consultant he mentions, Elisa Daniel, is listed on the dealership's team page.
For the full picture of what the step up buys, the 3.5T E-SC guide compares the two in detail, and the pricing & leasing guide works through the Washington tax math.
