Lithia says the EPA's Green Vehicle Guide rates the BMW 7 Series higher for environmental friendliness at 6 out of 10 versus the Genesis G90's 4, meaning the 7 Series produces up to 12.1 pounds less smog-producing pollutants every 15,000 miles, and Motor Trend testing found the 7 Series stops much shorter than the G90, 107 feet versus 117 feet from 60 mph, aided by larger brake rotors and tires. TrueCar says the Genesis G90's $94,245 MSRP undercuts the BMW 7 Series's $100,850 by $6,605, and the 7 Series wins on fuel economy at 25 city/31 highway mpg versus the G90's 18 city/26.
