Safety
Warranty
There are almost 8 times as many Chrysler dealers as there are Genesis dealers, which makes it much easier should you ever need service under the 300’s warranty.
Reliability
A reliable vehicle saves its owner time, money and trouble. Nobody wants to be stranded or have to be without a vehicle while it’s being repaired. Consumer Reports rates the 300’s reliability 20 points higher than the G90.
Engine
The 300C’s 6.4 V8 produces 76 more horsepower (485 vs. 409) and 70 lbs.-ft. more torque (475 vs. 405) than the G90 3.5T e-SC’s optional 3.5 turbo/supercharged V6 hybrid.

An engine control system that can shut down some of the engine’s cylinders helps improve the 300 V8’s fuel efficiency. The G90 doesn’t offer a system that can shut down part of the engine.
The 300 has a standard cap-less fueling system. The fuel filler is automatically opened when the fuel nozzle is inserted and automatically closed when it’s removed. This eliminates the need to unscrew and replace the cap and it reduces fuel evaporation, which causes pollution. The G90 doesn’t offer a cap-less fueling system.

Car and Driver |
Chassis
The Chrysler 300 may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs about 800 to 850 pounds less than the Genesis G90.
The 300 is 9.1 inches shorter than the G90, making the 300 easier to handle, maneuver and park in tight spaces.
Passenger Space
The 300 has .4 inches more front shoulder room and 2.3 inches more rear legroom than the G90.
Cargo Capacity
The 300 has a much larger trunk than the G90 (16.3 vs. 12 cubic feet).
The 300’s standard rear seats fold to accommodate long and bulky cargo. The G90 doesn’t offer folding rear seats, only a ski pass-through.
Towing
The 300 has a 1000 lbs. towing capacity. The G90 has no towing capacity.
Standard Trailer Sway Mitigation on the 300 uses the Electronic Stability Control sensors to detect trailer sway, then uses individual brakes to counteract any swaying and help keep the tow vehicle and trailer steady. The G90 doesn’t offer electronic trailer sway control.
Servicing Ease
A maintenance reminder system is standard on the 300 to save the owner time and money by calculating maintenance intervals for oil changes, 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.
Ergonomics
Heated windshield washer nozzles are standard on the 300 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.
To help drivers see further while navigating curves, the 300 S/Touring L offers optional adaptive headlights to illuminate around corners automatically by reading vehicle speed and steering wheel angle. The G90 doesn’t offer cornering lights.
Model Availability
The 300 is available in both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations. The G90 doesn’t offer a two-wheel drive configuration.
