Genesis G90 vs. BMW 7 Series Specs

If you're looking for the Genesis G90 with the most powerful performance, the 2024 Genesis G90 3.5T E-Supercharged AWD is powered by a 3.5-liter Twin Turbo V-6 engine with a 48V E-Supercharger and delivers an incredible 409 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of torque.
Under the hood of the 2024 BMW 740i, you'll find a 3.0-liter BMW TwinPower Turbo inline six-cylinder engine. This engine puts out 375 horsepower, which is the same as the standard Genesis G90. However, it comes with standard RWD, which means it won't provide the same traction as the Genesis model. You can choose to upgrade to an AWD configuration, but it will cost you several thousand dollars more than the RWD version. The BMW 740i has a similar drivetrain with an eight-speed sport automatic transmission with automatic Sport and Manual shift modes and steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters.
When it comes to acceleration performance, the BMW 740i will take you from 0 to 60 mph in an estimated 5.2 seconds. The Genesis G90 is slightly faster than the BMW 7 Series, only needing 5.1 seconds to jump from 0 to 60 mph.1
