The 2017 Genesis G90 was named "Best in Class, Ideal Luxury Car" in AutoPacific's annual Ideal Vehicle Awards (IVA).

The 2017 Ideal Vehicle Awards are presented by AutoPacific to vehicles that best meet their owners' expectations and desires. They are based on responses from more than 54,000 owners of new cars and light trucks. Participants shared what changes they would make to their vehicles in 15 categories including ride, handling, power, acceleration, safety and technology.

"The Genesis G90 is a vehicle designed to appeal to even the most discerning consumers," said Erwin Raphael, general manager of Genesis in the U.S. "Our goal was to design a flagship vehicle that redefines the meaning of luxury and we are thrilled to know that we have so closely met our owners' expectations."

The G90 excelled in IVA's visibility, passenger room and safety categories. This award follows the G90's win as the top overall vehicle in AutoPacific's New Vehicle Satisfaction Awards, obtaining the highest-ever score. Additionally, the luxury vehicle received the AutoPacific President's and Most Satisfying Vehicle Overall awards.
