Compare the2025 Bentley Flying SpurVS 2025 Genesis G90

The Bentley Flying Spur has standard driver and front passenger side knee airbags mounted low on the dashboard. These airbags help 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 Flying Spur has a standard Multi-collision Brake, which automatically applies 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.

An active infrared night vision system optional on the Flying Spur helps the driver to more easily detect people, animals or other objects in front of the vehicle at night. Using an infrared camera and near-infrared lights to detect heat, the system then projects the image on the windshield, near the driver’s line of sight. The G90 doesn’t offer a night vision system.

Both the Flying Spur and the G90 have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front and rear side-impact airbags, driver knee airbags, side-impact head airbags, front and rear seatbelt pretensioners, height adjustable front shoulder belts, 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 and rear cross-path warning.

The Bentley Flying Spur weighs 684 to 1005 pounds more than the Genesis G90. The NHTSA advises that heavier cars are much safer in collisions than their significantly lighter counterparts.

The Flying Spur comes with a full 3-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.

The Flying Spur’s 4.0 turbo V8 hybrid produces 396 more horsepower (771 vs. 375) and 347 lbs.-ft. more torque (738 vs. 391) than the G90 3.5T’s standard 3.5 turbo V6. The Flying Spur’s 4.0 turbo V8 hybrid produces 362 more horsepower (771 vs. 409) and 333 lbs.-ft. more torque (738 vs. 405) than the G90 3.5T e-SC’s standard 3.5 turbo/supercharged V6 hybrid.

The Flying Spur SPEED can travel with zero emissions for 47 miles. The G90 can’t move without running its internal combustion engine.

An engine control system that can shut down some of the engine’s cylinders helps improve the Flying Spur (except Hybrid)’s fuel efficiency. The G90 doesn’t offer a system that can shut down part of the engine.

Regenerative brakes improve the Flying Spur Hybrid’s fuel efficiency by converting inertia back into energy instead of wasting it. The G90 doesn’t offer a regenerative braking system.

The Flying Spur has 1.7 gallons more fuel capacity than the G90 (21 vs. 19.3 gallons), for longer range between fill-ups.

The Flying Spur offers an available sequential manual gearbox (SMG). With no clutch pedal to worry about and a fully automatic mode, an SMG is much more efficient than a conventional automatic but just as easy to drive. The G90 doesn’t offer an SMG or a conventional manual transmission.

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

The Flying Spur stops much shorter than the G90:

For better traction, the Flying Spur has larger tires than the G90 (F:275/35R22 & R:315/30R22 vs. F:245/45R20 & R:275/40R20).

The Flying Spur’s 275/35R22 front and 315/30R22 rear tires provide better handling because they have a lower 35 series front and 30 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. The Flying Spur’s tires are lower profile than the G90 3.5T e-SC’s 40 series front and 35 series rear tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Flying Spur has standard 22-inch wheels. Smaller 20-inch wheels are standard on the G90 3.5T. The G90’s largest wheels are only 21-inches.

The Flying Spur 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 Flying Spur 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 Flying Spur 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.

The Flying Spur handles at .98 G’s, while the G90 3.5T e-SC pulls only .84 G’s of cornering force in a Car and Driver skidpad test.

The Flying Spur executes Motor Trend’s “Figure Eight” maneuver 1.5 seconds quicker than the G90 3.5T e-SC (24.7 seconds @ .78 average G’s vs. 26.2 seconds @ .68 average G’s).

The Flying Spur has 2.9 inches more front legroom, .7 inches more rear headroom and 4.5 inches more rear legroom than the G90.

A maintenance reminder system is standard on the Flying Spur to save the owner time and money by calculating maintenance intervals for oil changes, based on odometer mileage. 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 Flying Spur the driver can close them all at the outside door handle. On a hot day the driver can also lower the windows the same way. 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 Flying Spur 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 Flying Spur has standard adaptive headlights to illuminate around corners automatically by reading vehicle speed and steering wheel angle. The G90 doesn’t offer cornering lights.
