How it scores for you10 scores
Six-figure-flagship serenity that now trades at mainstream-sedan prices - the running costs of a 20-mpg limo are the only serious bill.
Reliability39

Recalled about half as often as cars of the same model years; 4 of its 5 recalls were serious. About 10% of its owner complaints describe a crash, fire or injury. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Adjusted +3 points for its wider reputation.

Safety50

Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.

Running costs5

About $4,050 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 5% of cars we track.

Cargo & utility64

15.7 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 64% of other sedans we track.

Passenger space85

Limo-scale rear legroom and wide, flat seating; a true chauffeur-grade back seat plus a 15.7 cu ft trunk.

Driving fun38

A 4,700-lb flagship tuned wholly for isolation; competent, silent, and deliberately uninvolving.

Tech60

Loaded with every 2017-era feature as standard, but the rotary-controller interface and displays aged quickly against newer flagships.

Comfort90

Superb isolation, soft ride, and first-class rear quarters - reviewers consistently ranked its serenity with cars costing far more.

Value retention40

Luxury brands like Genesis tend to lose value faster than average.

Capability30

No published tow rating; all- or four-wheel drive available.
