Filled with new technology amid design praise... Genesis GV70 anticipation

Equipped with New Technology Enabling Driving and Electronic Payment via Fingerprint Recognition

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ji-hee] The Genesis brand's second sports utility vehicle (SUV), the GV70, is receiving consecutive praise for its design, while also featuring notable new technologies, raising anticipation for its launch next month.

According to industry sources on the 28th, the GV70 will be the first to incorporate intelligent technology utilizing biometric recognition. First, fingerprint recognition technology has been applied to support vehicle ignition, driving, and even electronic payments.

Through fingerprint authentication technology linked with the in-vehicle easy payment system 'Genesis CarPay,' GV70 customers can use CarPay by authenticating their fingerprint on the sensor located below the start button instead of entering the traditional six-digit password.

When using parking or driving services where the car must be entrusted to another person, fingerprint authentication can also be used in valet mode. Valet mode is a mode that prevents the customer's personal information, such as home address and phonebook, from appearing on the infotainment screen. In this mode, a one-time password can be set, and after the valet service ends, the valet mode can be easily deactivated not only with the set password but also through fingerprint authentication.

Additionally, Genesis has applied the world's first advanced rear occupant alert technology based on radar sensors, which are more precise than conventional ultrasonic sensors, to the GV70. This technology detects passengers seated in the rear seats using radar sensors installed inside the vehicle and gradually alerts the driver.

Meanwhile, the GV70, whose design was unveiled at the end of last month, is receiving praise for its dynamic yet luxurious exterior. Overseas specialized media have also showered it with evaluations such as "a harmonious design that is eye-catching without being excessive" and "a very handsome first impression that does not remind one of other brands."

The interior, which maximizes the 'beauty of emptiness,' is also receiving positive reviews. The American automotive media outlet Autoblog commented, "The wide-screen display, smoothly harmonized air vents, and the most oval-shaped control panel since the 1996 Ford Taurus are astonishing design elements."
