Choosing between the 2020 Lincoln Continental and Genesis G90 needn’t be complicated. These full-size luxury sedans might have a lot in common—like rich interior comfort, exceptional passenger space, and high-speed engines—but Lunghamer Ford’s guide is here to help you see exactly how they stack up in a side-by-side comparison.
Save Big: 2020 Lincoln Continental
Both the Continental and the G90 deliver premium power and world-class interior luxury. However, the Continental gives you everything at a much friendlier price—starting at $46,305—potentially saving you thousands of dollars on a luxury cruiser. The 2020 Genesis G90 has a much steeper starting price, with an MSRP of $72,200.
Premium Comfort: It’s a Tie!
Both of these full-size sedans make driving a pleasure. The Continental cabin is especially quiet, and options like front seats with heating, cooling, and massage features create a true luxury experience. The G90 will impress you with its wide-ranging seat adjustments and roomy proportions.
In terms of features, you’ll find all-encompassing luxury inside both of these full-size sedans. The 2020 Lincoln Continental is meant to impress, wrapping you in comfort and style with interior wood trim, 10-way power adjustable front seats, and extensive rear-seat head- and legroom. The 2020 Genesis G90 also has plenty of strengths in the features department, including tri-zone automatic climate control, leather seats, and a heads-up display.
Pure Power: 2020 Genesis G90
Both full-size luxury sedans offer two engine options, but it’s the G90 that will send you barreling into highway traffic with more power. With its turbocharged 3.3-liter engine, the base 3.3T Premium model generates 365 horsepower and 376 pound-feet of torque. Upgrade to the G90 5.0 Ultimate model for even more speed. This sedan’s 5.0-liter V8 churns out 420 horses and 383 pound-feet of torque.
Even if it's not as quick as the G90, the 2020 Continental is also quick. The base engine, a 3.7-liter V6, will impress you with its 305 horses and 280 pound-feet of torque. The mid-grade Reserve model and up come standard with a twin-turbo 2.7-liter V6 that ups the ante with 335 horses and 380 pound-feet of torque. If that’s not enough speed for you, you can always choose the optional twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6, a beast that makes 400 horses and 400 pound-feet of torque.
Smooth, Quiet Driving: 2020 Lincoln Continental
When it comes to luxury cruising, the Continental has the edge. Whether you’re coasting down newly laid pavement or over a bit of a rocky road, the ride feels smooth and controlled from inside the cabin. And, as we already mentioned, the Continental really takes the cake for quiet cruising. These qualities help make the Continental a world-class commuter.
The Genesis G90 has a lot going for it, like rich interior comfort and premium power, but it falls behind in terms of ride quality. While the ride feels mostly soft, it does have a bouncy quality that could leave sensitive passengers feeling slightly off balance.
