Who makes the most technologically advanced cars and SUVs in America? According to over 84,000 J.D. Power-surveyed vehicle owners, the answer is: Genesis.
Earning a J.D. Power 2022 U.S. TXI Study Innovation Index score of 643 out of 1,000—for reference, the average score of all automakers was 486—Genesis offers the overall best car technology across all four assessed categories (Convenience, Emerging Automation, Energy/Sustainability, and Infotainment/Connectivity). Let's take a look at some of the features that allowed Genesis to set the "techy car" bar so high and win J.D. Power's praise for the second consecutive year.
Genesis Digital Key
A phone-based key, like Genesis Digital Key, was ranked as one of the top car features to have among 84,000-plus surveyed owners. With Genesis Digital Key, owners can use their Android smartphone or smart device to lock and unlock their luxury sedan or SUV. The Digital Key can even be shared with family members or friends!
How does it work? As long as the app is installed (download), users can unlock their vehicle by simply holding the phone to the driver's door handle for one second. Once inside, drivers can take advantage of the rest of Genesis's innovative in-vehicle tech. (Genesis Digital Key 2 is available on iPhones and can also start the engine.)
Fingerprint Authentication System
Genesis has introduced the industry's first Fingerprint Authentication System, which allows owners to start the engine, set up customized infotainment profiles, activate or deactivate valet mode, or even make digital payments via Genesis CarPlay—all without needing a physical key or PIN code.
14.5" Infotainment System
With a Genesis, you'll enjoy what is perhaps the segment's best car infotainment system and touchscreen. This cloud-based 14.5-inch HD touchscreen, which is available in most Genesis models, including the 2023 GV70, is intuitive, fast and full of convenient features. Users can easily tap the screen or use voice commands to control the AC, windows and liftgate, choose streaming music stations, and get turn-by-turn directions via Genesis Connected Routing—one of the best in-dash navigation systems.
If that weren't enough, this big car touchscreen is paired with a 12.3-inch 3D instrument cluster that tracks the driver's eye trajectory in order to project a vibrant, 3-dimensional display that can be viewed from numerous angles.
Certain Genesis models, like the 2023 G80, also come with an available Head-Up Display that provides drivers with crucial vehicle data projected right on the windshield. Genesis HUD works with the infotainment system to create one of the best built-in navigation systems for cars and SUVs in the luxury space.
Remote Image Capture
Genesis vehicles equipped with Surround View Monitor and Remote Image Capture enable owners to check in remotely. What's that mean? Owners can open their smartphone, access the Genesis app, and view live snapshot images of their vehicle. That's high-end peace of mind.
8" Rear Armrest Touch Display
In the new 2023 Genesis G90 sedan, rear passengers are treated to a first-class riding experience thanks to an 8-inch armrest touchscreen. Tap and adjust everything from in-cabin ambient lighting, window shades, seat reclining and massage functions, and more. It's one of the best car touchscreens for rear passengers—because it's just about the only one in the luxury segment.
UV-C Light Compartment
The G90 also features a unique storage compartment that sanitizes small items, including sunglasses, gloves, masks and phones. After just 10 minutes inside, the UV-C light kills up to 99% of bacteria.
Remote Smart Parking Assist
We're still waiting for a reliable self-driving car, but Genesis is making strides toward that becoming a reality thanks to their Remote Smart Parking Assist feature. Select Genesis vehicles, like the G80, can be equipped with RSPA, which enables owners to exit their vehicle, press a button on their key fob, and watch their Genesis park itself. (Remote Smart Parking Assist II is also available on certain Genesis models, like the G90.)
