Genesis of San Bruno - Is Electronically Controlled Suspension with Road Preview Worth It on the 2026 Genesis GV70 for San Mateo, CA Drivers?
The roads around San Mateo, CA can change from smooth expressways to patchwork neighborhood streets in a few blocks. That is exactly where the 2026 Genesis GV70’s available Electronically Controlled Suspension with Road Preview proves its value. By using the front camera to read the road surface ahead and preparing the dampers accordingly, the system helps the GV70 glide over potholes and speed bumps while preserving precise steering feel. The result is a driving experience that stays calm and composed—especially when your route surprises you.
What sets this technology apart is how naturally it integrates into the GV70’s dynamics. There is no need to tinker with settings every time conditions change. Instead, the system continuously works in the background, helping the SUV remain settled over broken pavement while retaining the responsiveness you expect from a luxury performance SUV. Pair it with standard all-wheel drive, the available 3.5L Twin-Turbo V6, and the 27-inch OLED display, and you have an everyday driver that feels as refined as it is capable.
- Daily commuting confidence
- Weekend road-trip comfort
- Mixed-surface routes
- Family-friendly smoothness
- Composure with larger wheels
Because the system focuses on reducing the impact of bumps and abrupt surface changes, it is especially helpful on longer drives and on routes with inconsistent asphalt. Families appreciate the calmer cabin, and drivers who favor larger wheel options will notice the added composure when the pavement is less than perfect. It complements the GV70’s quiet cabin and available Bang & Olufsen® Premium Audio, creating a space where conversations and music remain clear even when the outside conditions get choppy.
