现代将于12月9日在韩国发布Genesis G90，这款全尺寸轿车将替代雅科仕。全新的Genesis系列将由六款车组成，G90是首款车型，不过在韩国上市时该车的正式名称是“EQ900”。据现代高管透露，由于定位不同，加上新车将采用更多新技术以及部件的升级，因此EQ900售价将比雅科仕略高。这款车将可提供三种引擎，其中3.8升V6 GDI自然进气引擎功率246千瓦/334马力；3.3升V6双涡轮增压引擎功率272千瓦/370马力；5.0升V8 N/A引擎功率313千瓦/425马力，所有引擎都可搭配八速自动变速器并可选装全驱系统。G90之后，现代还将推出劳恩斯替代车型G80，更小的G70轿车、轿跑车和中级跨界车以及一款大型SUV。G90将于明年初进入全球市场。
Genesis G90 to be revealed on December 9 with minor price hike
Hyundai has announced the Genesis G90 will receive its official premiere in South Korea on December 9.
The Equus is on its way to retirement as Hyundai’s full-size sedan will make the switch to the newly founded Genesis luxury sub-brand that was announced earlier this month. Along with the brand name change, the model will lose its “Equus” moniker in favor of the rather uninspiring “G90” nameplate and this will be the first of six models to form the Genesis lineup by the end of the decade. The flagship model has already been teased and will get a proper reveal in its domestic market on December 9 and it will be sold there as the “EQ900.”
According to a high-rank company official, the EQ900 will be a little bit more expensive than its predecessor as a result of the model’s repositioning. He went on to specify the car’s new status will not command a significant premium, but at the same time he admitted there will be an increase given the upgraded components and the new technologies set to be implemented in the range-topper.
From what we know so far, the Genesis EQ900 / G90 will be motivated by a 3.8-liter V6 GDI naturally aspirated gasoline engine with 334 PS (246 kW), a newly developed twin-turbo 3.3-liter V6 with 370 PS (272 kW), and a larger V8 5.0-liter N/A engine that will produce 425 PS (313 kW). All three of them will be linked to an 8-speed automatic transmission and an optional AWD setup.
Following the G90’s release, the lineup will grow to include the Hyundai Genesis-replacing G80, a smaller G70 sedan, coupe, mid-size crossover, and a big SUV. The G90 will go on sale in South Korea in December while the rest of the world will have to wait until early next year.
