Genesis of Bel Air - How Road Preview Suspension Elevates Every Drive around Rockville, MD
The 2026 Genesis GV80 is engineered to make rough pavement feel distant, and the available Electronically Controlled Suspension with Road Preview is the technology that sets the tone. Using the GV80’s front camera to read road surface irregularities ahead, the system can adjust damping proactively to help smooth your drive. In practical terms, that means fewer jolts when the street surface changes, a calmer cabin when construction zones appear, and a more composed experience on undulating suburban routes.
Around Rockville, MD, you might encounter patched pavement on your way to the office, then glide across a newly resurfaced stretch toward an evening reservation—this suspension works to harmonize both. On regional trips, pairing Road Preview with available All-Wheel Drive and Terrain Mode Select can help you maintain composure in unpredictable conditions. The result is elevated comfort that pairs well with quiet-tuned engineering and the GV80’s thoughtful cabin materials, from the available Nappa Leather seating to the subtle lighting that sets a refined mood.
Inside, the road-calming effect of the suspension is complemented by a panoramic 27" OLED Instrument Cluster & Navigation that keeps vital information consolidated and intuitive. The interface design supports quick, confident inputs, making it easy to fine-tune your route or adjust settings while the GV80 quietly manages what lies ahead. For audiophiles, the available Bang & Olufsen® Premium Audio turns that serene backdrop into a personal studio, with detailed imaging and tonal richness that reward every playlist.
Beyond comfort, this technology contributes to driver confidence. When the chassis feels settled, steering inputs become more precise, and it’s simpler to maintain your line through sweeping ramps or quick lane changes on I-270. The GV80’s balanced tuning avoids harshness, so it doesn’t turn every ripple into a report—you just feel the results in your shoulders and your calm heart rate.
- How it works: A front-mounted camera helps “preview” the road surface; the system can adjust damping to help absorb upcoming disruptions.
- Everyday benefit: Less head toss and fewer abrupt motions mean passengers stay comfortable and focused, from school runs to client visits.
- Weekend payoff: On longer drives, the GV80’s poise reduces fatigue so you arrive refreshed and ready.
- Feature synergy: Pair with All-Wheel Drive and Terrain Mode Select to enhance traction confidence in Snow, Mud, or Sand.
When considering lease vs. finance, Road Preview is a great lens for your decision. If you like adopting the latest refinements, leasing keeps you on a short cycle so you can capture future updates as they arrive. If you prefer to own and personalize, financing lets you settle into the GV80’s deeply comfortable ride and tailor it with protective accessories, winter wheels, or cargo solutions for the long haul.
Our team at Genesis of Bel Air provides product consultations that explain how Road Preview interacts with other systems, from braking feel to steering assistance. Whether you spend most of your week in city traffic or rack up miles on regional business routes, aligning these technologies to your habits helps you get the most from the GV80.
