According to KCB, it'll surprisingly still have a V8, but will finally add air suspension and level 3 autonomy using LiDAR similar the 5LS refresh. The car will make its debut at the end of next year.

Not much body cladding. Will probably come out before the new 7 Series.

Weirdly enough, the grille looks like it shrank in size.

Probably here......it shows Hyundai's new air-suspension system.

And this article, though a couple of years old, explains why the 1Gen G90 did not get it before. The company did not think it was necessary.

From what I read, it's testing the air suspension in the above spy shots on that yellow striped speed bump. That's also why the wheel wells have such a huge gap in them in the photos.

Does it still use the suspension arm setup that is a literal copy and paste from the LS460?

You'll have to elaborate, because the old G80 and G90's suspension tuning was done by Lotus.

No way it won't have air suspension with these monolithic wheels

The rear steer angle is pretty considerable- visibly pops out the wheel well. Wonder if it'll match the new S-Class.

what i'm stunned about with hyundai/kia/genesis in general is the speed with which they're putting out refreshed and all new models. it's amazing.
this new g90 looks like it's going to be another notch up the prestige level. it will have the same 'dealer' obstacles in the u.s. at least as we've discussed, so no need to go there again, but obviously genesis is well aware of it and no doubt is or will be taking steps.

in other news, my g90 experience ends next month with the end of my lease. it will be hard to let it go, but must be done. no plans to replace it after getting the other toy recently.

Those wheels are horrible, hope that does not make it to production. Profile looks sleek though, I hope they kept the interior a little old school and did not do the minimalist all screen/touchscreen for everything crap.

I think those are just placeholders. These are the actual production wheels.
