Why the GV80 Stands Out as a Luxury SUV

The GV80 is one of the most popular luxury midsize SUVs on the market. Genesis expertly merges luxury and value, offering vehicles that emphasize elegance, performance, and cutting-edge technology. These models are priced more accessible while still competing strongly with brands like Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Lexus, Land Rover, and Porsche.

When it comes to dependability, the Genesis GV80 has earned impressive scores from J.D. Power, including:

  • 81/100 for Quality & Reliability
  • 82/100 for Driving Experience
  • 73/100 for Resale Value

So, if you’re looking for a premium vehicle that delivers on style, technology, safety, and reliability, Genesis is your go-to brand. Want to learn more? Simply schedule a test drive!

What safety features does the GV80 offer? 

The Genesis GV80 offers cutting edge technology and safety features to keep you safe on the road. Safety functionality includes: 

    • Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist: Detects potential frontal collisions with vehicles, pedestrians, or cyclists and can provide warnings and automatically apply brakes to mitigate or avoid an impact.
    • Lane Keeping Assist: Helps to keep the vehicle centered in its lane by providing steering corrections if it detects the vehicle drifting.
    • Lane Following Assist: Works in conjunction with Lane Keeping Assist to actively keep the vehicle centered in the lane by following lane markers and the preceding vehicle.
    • Driver Attention Warning: Monitors the driver’s behavior for signs of fatigue or distraction and provides alerts if detected.
    • Forward Attention Warning: Monitors the driver’s gaze direction and can provide warnings if the driver’s attention seems to be consistently off the road.
    • Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist: Detects vehicles in the blind spot and can provide warnings. It can also actively intervene by applying braking or steering input to help avoid a collision during a lane change.
    • Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist: Detects vehicles approaching from the side while reversing and can provide warnings and automatically apply the brakes if a collision is imminent.
    • Safe Exit Assist: Monitors approaching traffic from the rear when the vehicle is parked and can warn occupants exiting the vehicle if it’s unsafe to open their door. It can also temporarily engage the power child locks.
    • Advanced Rear Occupant Alert: Uses sensors to detect movement in the rear seats after the vehicle is locked and can alert the driver if a child or pet may have been left behind.
    • Blind-Spot View Monitor: Displays a live camera feed of the blind spot in the instrument cluster when the turn signal is activated, providing a visual confirmation of the adjacent lane.
    • Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist: Can detect obstacles while parking and provide warnings and automatically apply the brakes to prevent a collision.

What circumstances will cause the Safe Exit Assist system to activate?

Safe Exit Assist activates when the vehicle is stopped and detects a vehicle approaching from the rear, alerting occupants who are about to open their doors.

How does the Advanced Rear Occupant Alert system work and what triggers it? 

The system uses ultrasonic sensors to detect movement in the rear seats after the vehicle is turned off and locked. If movement is detected, it can trigger an audible alert (horn) and send a notification to the driver’s smartphone via the Genesis Connected Services app.

How does the Blind-Spot View Monitor differ from the standard Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist?

The Blind-Spot View Monitor provides a visual display of the blind spot, whereas the Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist provides warnings and can actively intervene with braking or steering to prevent a collision.
