  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Spy shots of the long-awaited GV80.

I don't read anything on the new HUD display.
 
I am the only one thinking that while genesis started really nicely 10 years ago, equipping its cars with high tech at that time, started falling behind and now not particularly trying to keep up with the competition in terms of the latest gagetry?

What’s missing aside from massage seats?

I am concerned that this gear shifter design (what the spy shots have repeatedly shown on both the GV80 and G80) is going to cause problems and turn people away from the brand. A rotary gear shifter is unintuitive to most drivers, especially when they are accustomed to a knob in this location being used to control the infotainment screen. Many automakers tried this design in the past and moved away from it. What cars still use it? Only three that come to my mind is the Ford Focus, Chrysler 300C, and Jaguar XJ.

Most Jags have it, including my F Pace. Not unintuitive. I was comfortable with it immediately. I spend equal time in the Jag and G80 Sport, and am entirely comfortable with either shifter. After all, they're not stick shifts, with constant usage. Both have paddles for that if so inclined.

....but the car will be shown to the public beginning 11/23 in select locations domestically (Korea)

Oh crap... I am looking at Audi and BMW and it's a smorgasbord of features...

digital instrument cluster
air suspension
4 wheel steering
road preview
auto park
pano roof
advanced cruise control - something beyond what was available back in 2009 (granted they improved a lot)
massage seats (you mentioned it)


Don't get me wrong - there might be an argument whether we want/need all that, and at which price point. I am just pointing out that in 2009 Genesis was probably the first automaker that brought to this pricepoint a smart cruise control

Looks like it doesn't have a TFT instrument cluster.
But, that interior photo must be from the lower trim level since the seats dont have the quilted pattern

I think so too.

Im fairly certain that all if not 95% of that list is either on the current gen G70/G80/G90 but for sure will be on the next generation of vehicles.

I am sure NONE of those features is on the current gen, and as far as I know from early G90 reviews, nothing but (more) advanced cruise control made it to the 2020 model. We'll have to wait and see what GV80 and G80 are packing.
