Genesis of Wichita - How Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist on the 2026 Genesis GV80 Adds Everyday Confidence around Andover, KS
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist on the 2026 Genesis GV80 is designed to support the way you really drive, from school drop-offs to weekend errands and highway merges. Using sensors and cameras, the system can help detect stopped or slowing vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, and even powered two-wheelers in your path. If it senses a potential collision, the GV80 can warn you and, when necessary, apply braking assistance to help you steer clear. Paired with the expansive 27-inch OLED Instrument Cluster & Navigation, alerts are presented with clarity so you can focus on what matters: maintaining smooth, confident control. It’s a thoughtful layer of protection that complements excellent visibility, the composed chassis, and available All-Wheel Drive with Terrain Mode.
In the rhythm of Andover’s weekday traffic and the open stretches leading toward Wichita, slightly distracted moments happen—even to careful drivers. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist adds a safety net, working alongside available Highway Driving Assist and Blind-Spot features to help you maintain confidence when traffic density changes quickly. Add in optional Electronically Controlled Suspension with Road Preview, and the GV80 further enhances stability by preparing the dampers for bumps and dips ahead, helping the vehicle remain poised when you’re maneuvering during an alert. It’s the integration of these systems that underscores why so many luxury SUV shoppers value the GV80 for daily life.
