 Available in South Korea, Coming to US
Hyundai's Genesis GV80 is the South Korean automaker's first luxury SUV.  Of great interest, it has an advanced augmented reality navigation system with displays to help the driver better understand the road.  The vehicle has concept car styling and a 14.5 inch infotainment screen. It's available in South Korea and will be coming to the US this summer.

Loaded with Advanced Technology
The GV80 has three rows of seats and is loaded with technology including a new system that detects driver drowsiness or inattention behind the wheel.  It also has a handwriting recognition interface and advanced safety features.  It packs a 3.0-litre turbocharged, 6 cylinder, diesel engine.  When it reaches the US, gas engine options will be available.

Quiet Technology
The SUV is designed to be quiet.  The engines can hardly be heard because the vehicle has a noise cancelling system.  The system calculates road noise and emits opposite sound waves to cancel the noise.

Super Bowl 2020
Hyundai is going all out with this luxury SUV to compete against BMW and Mercedes models.  They will be advertising the GV80 on Super Bowl 2020 with singer John Legend and his wife Chrissy Teigen as stars on their ads.  Next year, Hyundai says  it will introduce a smaller crossover version and an electric version of the GV80.
