No matter how successful we are in life, most of us admire a beautifully designed and appointed mode of transportation, whether it be a sedan or SUV. And starting off the New Year with a beauty that the World’s car assemblers have cobbled together give the word “luxury” new meaning.
GENESIS G90
Genesis is the luxury brand of Hyundai, the South Korean automaker that has gained popularity among the masses in a short period of time.
Among the 9 models Genesis now builds, the G90 was the first out of the door in 2017 and was just named Motor Trend Car of the Year
We are most impressed with the quality of this full-size sedan, the type of car that ruled the roads back in the day. Genesis has raised the bar to the likes of Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Lexus, and the 2023 version takes it even higher. Tweaks to the body lines and the interior, infotainment and tech bring this car to the upper reaches of state of the art.
The 3.5T e-SC engine, adds a 48-volt mild hybrid system, which powers an electric supercharger for extra power, up to 409 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque.
You’ll want to have a chauffeur so you can enjoy the ride experience from the back seat.
Our coach’s MSRP was $100,370
MERCEDES-BENZ GLS 580
The most remarkable commonality among six-figure vehicles, whether a sedan or SUV, quality, attention to detail and high-end tech. The 4.0-liter V-8 powered GLS 580 brings everything the luxury SUV buyer is looking for.
Sharp looking, this full-size beauty has three rows of usable seating, yes, even for six-footers in the third row. Mercedes clearly worked some magic in the design department because it just doesn’t look that big.
The interior is decadent in design and function. The engine, speedo, tach, fuel, and other monitors use the same screen as its infotainment controls – a two-foot-long work of art.
Seating is, as you would expect, comfortable, supportive, heated, cooled and adjustable. GLS leather is real, its detailed trim compliments design and includes subtle, ambient lighting throughout the cabin. The Burmester Surround Sound system must be heard to be believed.
The GLS 580 includes the M-B Airmatic suspension system that absorbs bumps, dips, and potholes like you would expect.
The Mercedes-Benz GLS 580 starts at $102,300.
