Compare the2023 Rolls-Royce GhostVS 2023 Genesis G90

The Rolls-Royce Ghost has standard driver and front passenger side knee airbags mounted low on the dashboard. These airbags helps prevent the driver and front passenger from sliding under their seatbelts or the main frontal airbags; this keeps them better positioned during a collision for maximum protection. Knee airbags also help keep the legs from striking the dashboard, preventing knee and leg injuries in the case of a serious frontal collision. The G90 doesn’t offer a front passenger side knee airbag.

The Ghost has standard PostCrash, which automatically apply the brakes in the event of a crash to help prevent secondary collisions and prevent further injuries. The G90 doesn’t offer a post collision braking system: in the event of a collision that triggers the airbags, more collisions are possible without the protection of airbags that may have already deployed.

Both the Ghost and the G90 have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, driver knee airbags, side-impact head airbags, front and rear seatbelt pretensioners, four-wheel antilock brakes, all wheel drive, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, daytime running lights, lane departure warning systems, blind spot warning systems, around view monitors, rear cross-path warning and driver alert monitors.

The Ghost comes with a full 4-year/unlimited-mile basic warranty, which covers the entire car and includes 24-hour roadside assistance. The G90’s 60,000-mile basic warranty expires sooner.

Rolls-Royce pays for scheduled maintenance on the Ghost for 1 year and -36,000 miles longer than Genesis pays for maintenance for the G90 (4/unlimited vs. 3/36,000).

To reliably power the ignition and other systems and to recharge the battery, the Ghost has a standard 210-amp alternator. The G90’s 180-amp alternator isn’t as powerful.

The Ghost’s standard 6.6 turbo V12 produces 188 more horsepower (563 vs. 375) and 236 lbs.-ft. more torque (627 vs. 391) than the G90 3.5T’s standard 3.5 turbo V6. The Ghost’s 6.6 turbo V12 produces 154 more horsepower (563 vs. 409) and 222 lbs.-ft. more torque (627 vs. 405) than the G90 3.5T e-SC’s standard 3.5 turbo/supercharged V6 hybrid. The Ghost Black Badge’s standard 6.6 turbo V12 produces 182 more horsepower (591 vs. 409) and 259 lbs.-ft. more torque (664 vs. 405) than the G90 3.5T e-SC’s standard 3.5 turbo/supercharged V6 hybrid.

The Ghost has 4.5 gallons more fuel capacity than the G90 (23.8 vs. 19.3 gallons), for longer range between fill-ups.

For better stopping power the Ghost’s brake rotors are larger than those on the G90:

For better traction, the Ghost has larger tires than the G90 (F:255/40R21 & R:285/35R21 vs. F:245/45R20 & R:275/40R20).

The Ghost’s 255/40R21 front and 285/35R21 rear tires provide better handling because they have a lower 40 series front and 35 series rear profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the G90 3.5T’s standard 45 series front and 40 series rear tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Ghost has standard 21-inch wheels. Smaller 20-inch wheels are standard on the G90 3.5T.

Changing a flat tire near traffic can be dangerous and inconvenient. The run-flat tires standard on the Ghost can be driven up to 50 miles without any air pressure, allowing you to drive to a service station for a repair. The G90 doesn’t offer run-flat tires.

The Ghost has active sway bars, which help keep it flat and controlled during cornering, but disconnect at lower speeds to smooth the ride and offer greater off-road suspension articulation. This helps keep the tires glued to the road on-road and off. The G90 doesn’t offer an active sway bar system.

The front and rear suspension of the Ghost uses air springs for a smoother, controlled ride than the G90 3.5T, which uses coil springs. Air springs maintain proper ride height and ride more smoothly.

The Ghost offers an available adjustable active suspension system, which counteracts cornering forces actively, limiting body roll and improving handling and stability. Genesis doesn’t offer an active suspension on the G90.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the Ghost’s wheelbase is 4.5 inches longer than on the G90 (129.7 inches vs. 125.2 inches). The Ghost Extended’s wheelbase is 10.8 inches longer than on the G90 (136 inches vs. 125.2 inches).

The Ghost has 2.3 cubic feet more passenger volume than the G90 (111.5 vs. 109.2).

The Ghost has 1.2 inches more front headroom, .3 inches more front shoulder room, 1 inch more rear headroom and 4.5 inches more rear legroom than the G90.

The Ghost has a much larger trunk than the G90 (17.3 vs. 12 cubic feet).

A Condition-Based Service Display is standard on the Ghost to save the owner time and money by calculating maintenance intervals based on actual driving conditions. This takes the guesswork out of keeping your vehicle in top condition and helps it last longer. Genesis doesn’t offer a maintenance reminder on the G90.

If the windows are left open on the Ghost the driver can close them all at the outside door handle or from a distance using the remote. On a hot day the driver can lower the windows from a distance using the keyless remote. The driver of the G90 can only close the windows from inside the vehicle, with the ignition on.

Heated windshield washer nozzles are standard on the Ghost to prevent washer fluid and nozzles from freezing and help continue to keep the windshield clear in sub-freezing temperatures. The G90 doesn’t offer heated windshield washer nozzles.

In poor weather, headlights can lose their effectiveness as grime builds up on their lenses. This can reduce visibility without the driver realizing. The Ghost has standard headlight washers to keep headlight output high. The G90 doesn’t offer headlight washers.

To help drivers avoid possible obstacles, the Ghost has standard cornering lights to illuminate around corners when the turn signals are activated. The G90 doesn’t offer cornering lights. The Ghost also has standard adaptive headlights to illuminate around corners automatically by reading vehicle speed and steering wheel angle.
