in its home market of South Korea, after releasing a series of teaser images earlier this month. The GV80’s styling is the result of collaboration between Genesis’ design studios in South Korea, the United States and Germany, the firm said. Two seating configurations will be available; a five-seat layout, and a three-row setup.
A number of world-first technologies are also present in the GV80, the firm says. These include smart cruise control with machine learning , which employs artificial intelligence-based navigation technology to learn the inputs of its human drivers and the independently learn them in order to implement autonomous driving with characteristics similar to its human drivers.
Joining the suite of advanced driver assistance systems is Blind Spot Collision Assist, which the company says is ‘essentially a blind spot monitor with active capabilities’. The system helps reduce the chance of potential collisions with moving vehicles, for instance when leaving from a parallel parking space.
The GV80 cabin also benefits from road noise active cancellation technology, says Genesis, which emits opposite phase sound waves to cancel out road noise. Also contributing to comfort is an active motion driver’s seat, which contains seven air cells that works to reduce fatigue from long hours spent at the wheel of the vehicle.
