Genesis of Bel Air - Is Electronically Controlled Suspension with Road Preview a smart upgrade for East York, PA drivers?
Drivers navigating East York, PA roads want a luxury SUV that smooths out daily imperfections and keeps every drive calm and composed. The 2026 Genesis GV80 is available with Electronically Controlled Suspension with Road Preview, a system designed to read the road surface ahead and help the vehicle proactively adjust damping to ease the ride. If your commute includes patched pavement, speed humps, or construction transitions, this technology can make a meaningful difference in how comfortable and confident you feel behind the wheel.
At its core, Road Preview uses the GV80’s forward-facing camera to scan upcoming surfaces. When it detects a bump or dip, the system can fine-tune suspension response to mitigate the impact before the vehicle reaches it. The result is a luxurious, composed character that shines not just on long highway runs but also on the stop-and-go routes so common in local driving. The GV80 balances this plush ride with responsive handling, and when paired with available All-Wheel Drive and Terrain Mode, it becomes a confident companion in changing weather and throughout all four seasons.
Frequently Asked Questions:
What does Electronically Controlled Suspension with Road Preview actually do?
It leverages a forward-facing camera to scan the road and can adjust suspension damping in advance to help smooth out imperfections. The goal is to reduce harsh impacts and maintain a consistent, luxurious ride without sacrificing vehicle control.
Is Road Preview useful if I primarily drive around town?
Yes. In-town driving often includes potholes, speed humps, and uneven patches. The ability to anticipate and respond before the wheel reaches a disturbance helps the GV80 feel more composed in precisely those everyday scenarios.
How does Road Preview complement other GV80 systems?
Pairing Road Preview with available All-Wheel Drive and Terrain Mode brings a one-two punch of ride comfort and capability. While AWD with Snow, Mud, and Sand modes adapts traction for varied conditions, Road Preview focuses on smoothing the ride itself—especially helpful on rougher stretches around East York, PA.
Will I notice the difference if I test drive back-to-back models?
Most shoppers perceive a clear benefit on patched roads or over speed humps. During a test drive, choose a loop that includes neighborhood streets, a rougher segment, and a bit of highway to feel how the system preserves composure in different environments.
If you are considering a GV80 and expect to keep it for several years, investing in the available Electronically Controlled Suspension with Road Preview can be wise from a comfort and confidence standpoint. It sets a luxury baseline you feel every day, whether you are commuting, running errands, or taking longer weekend drives. Combine that with the GV80’s available Bang & Olufsen® Premium Audio, the intuitive 27" OLED Instrument Cluster & Navigation, and advanced driver-assistance features such as Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist and Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, and you have an SUV that elevates every mile.
