Genesis of Wichita - Is Electronically Controlled Suspension with Road Preview Worth It on the 2026 Genesis GV70 for El Dorado, KS Roads?
Drivers who want a luxury SUV that stays composed over patchy pavement, expansion joints, and speed bumps should take a close look at the 2026 Genesis GV70’s available Electronically Controlled Suspension with Road Preview. This technology uses the front camera to scan the road surface ahead, then proactively adjusts damping to help reduce the impact you feel in the cabin. The result is a ride that remains calm and confident across city streets and longer highway stretches around El Dorado, KS.
Because the system works in real time, you notice benefits from the first few blocks of your test drive. Steering feel remains precise, yet the body moves less over imperfections, so conversation and audio stay clear. Pair this system with the GV70’s standard all-wheel drive on many trims and the available 375-hp Twin-Turbo V6, and you have a luxurious, athletic SUV that stays planted when you accelerate to merge and when you traverse uneven surfaces on the way home.
Beyond ride quality, Road Preview dovetails with other GV70 technologies to elevate daily driving. The new 27" OLED Instrument Cluster & Navigation makes it easy to view drive modes and driver assistance info on one expansive display. Available Terrain Mode optimizes performance for snow, mud, or sand, while driver aids such as Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Forward Attention Warning, Driver Attention Warning, and Rear Occupant Alert help support safer habits. Available Surround View Monitor and Blind-Spot View Monitor simplify tight parking or busy-lane merges, and the available Head-Up Display can project key details within your line of sight.
To decide if Road Preview is right for you, imagine your commute. If your routes include older surface streets, bridge joints, or frequent construction zones, the system’s ability to settle the chassis before a bump can make a noticeable difference in comfort and control. It also helps the GV70 feel more composed at highway speeds, reducing the aftershock that can follow larger imperfections.
- Evaluate ride quality: Drive over a known rough stretch and note how the chassis settles compared to the vehicles you have owned or tested.
- Check steering precision: Make gentle lane changes at speed to feel how the suspension keeps the body level and responses crisp.
- Compare modes: Switch between drive modes to observe changes in damping and throttle response as displayed on the 27" OLED.
- Add safety context: Park and test available Surround View Monitor to understand how comfort and visibility technologies work together.
Genesis of Wichita can set up a test drive route that showcases the system’s benefits and lets you compare configurations back to back. Whether you prioritize the 2.5T’s balanced output or the Twin-Turbo V6’s effortless thrust, pairing the engine you want with Road Preview can make each mile feel more refined without sacrificing the GV70’s athletic character.
