Genesis of Wichita - Which 2026 Genesis GV70 trims offer Bang & Olufsen® Premium Audio in Wichita, KS?
The refreshed 2026 Genesis GV70 brings a striking new look and a smarter, more immersive cabin — and for many Wichita shoppers, the make-or-break question is whether the Bang & Olufsen® Premium Audio is available on the trim they want. As you compare options for your drives across Kellogg, I-135, and the Kansas Turnpike, understanding which GV70 models include this upgraded sound system will help you choose confidently and enjoy every mile.
Below, our team at Genesis of Wichita breaks down where Bang & Olufsen® Premium Audio fits into the lineup, why it matters in real daily use around Wichita, and how to audition it during a test drive so you can hear the difference for yourself. We also highlight complementary features — like the GV70’s expansive 27-inch OLED display, voice commands, and available driver-assistance tech — that make the ownership experience feel thoughtful and effortless from day one.
Why sound quality matters for Wichita driving
Wichita’s everyday routes mix wide-open highway stretches with quick urban hops. On US-54/400, consistent clarity at cruising speeds matters when you’re taking calls or enjoying a playlist on the way to Old Town. Downtown, you want intuitive controls that keep your eyes up and your hands on the wheel while navigating to a dinner reservation or Intrust Bank Arena. Bang & Olufsen® Premium Audio in the GV70 elevates those routines, bringing crisp detail and balanced depth to music, podcasts, and calls — all easily managed from the 27-inch OLED display or by simple voice prompts.
Audio quality is not just for road trips. It adds calm to the morning school run through East Wichita, helps the cabin feel more composed during crosswinds on I-235, and turns a quick errand into a refined moment. It is also a smart long-term choice — a factory audio upgrade is typically something you cannot add later, so choosing the right trim up front ensures you’ll enjoy premium sound for years to come.
Which GV70 trims include Bang & Olufsen® Premium Audio?
For 2026, Bang & Olufsen® Premium Audio is included on select GV70 trims. Here is a simple breakdown to help you narrow your search quickly:
- 2.5T ADVANCED AWD: Includes Bang & Olufsen® Premium Audio, Leather Seating Surfaces, and Surround View Monitor & Blind-Spot View Monitor for added confidence around town and in tight parking.
- 3.5T SPORT ADVANCED AWD: Includes Bang & Olufsen® Premium Audio, Leather Seating Surfaces, and 19-Inch Sport Alloy Wheels — pairing the upgraded sound with the 375-hp Twin-Turbo V6 for athletic performance.
Other trims in the GV70 lineup bring compelling tech and design updates — including the 27-inch OLED Instrument Cluster & Navigation across the range — but if premium sound is a must-have for you, your shortlist starts with the 2.5T ADVANCED AWD and the 3.5T SPORT ADVANCED AWD.
Choosing between 2.5T ADVANCED AWD and 3.5T SPORT ADVANCED AWD
Both trims deliver Bang & Olufsen® Premium Audio, so the decision often comes down to how you like your GV70 to feel from behind the wheel. The 2.5T ADVANCED AWD pairs the smooth, responsive 300-hp turbocharged 4-cylinder with an elevated convenience and safety suite — a fantastic fit for daily commuting on Kellogg and errands around NewMarket Square, where effortless maneuverability and camera-based visibility matter.
The 3.5T SPORT ADVANCED AWD adds the 375-hp Twin-Turbo V6 for stronger acceleration, ideal if you frequently merge onto I-35 or take weekend drives out toward El Dorado Lake and want extra passing confidence. Its sport-focused tuning complements the GV70’s refreshed exterior for a more dynamic character without sacrificing the refinement that defines the cabin.
Whichever you choose, you will interact with audio through the 27-inch OLED display — a single, expansive pane that merges the instrument cluster and navigation interface. The layout is customizable, and voice commands help you switch sources, cue directions, or place calls while staying focused on the road.
How to audition Bang & Olufsen® in the GV70 during your test drive
When you visit us at Genesis of Wichita, we are happy to set up a focused audio demo so you can compare how the system handles different content types. Bring a few familiar tracks — something vocal-forward, a live performance, a bass-rich song — and try a podcast or an audiobook chapter to evaluate spoken-word clarity. Then, listen at low, medium, and higher volumes to assess detail and fullness across real-world conditions.
- Connect your phone: Pair your device in seconds and cue your usual streaming service or library so you are judging with content you know well.
- Explore the sound settings: Adjust balance, fader, and presets on the 27-inch OLED display to find a profile that matches your taste and seating position.
- Check call quality: Make a quick hands-free call to confirm voice clarity on both ends — helpful if you often work from the road between appointments in Downtown Wichita or near Bradley Fair.
- Drive a loop that mirrors your week: Include highway, surface streets, and a few rougher patches to see how the system maintains clarity as the road changes.
We can also help you compare a GV70 with Bang & Olufsen® Premium Audio to a model without it so you can hear the difference side by side and decide with confidence.
