With 375 horsepower from its twin-turbo V6, electronically controlled suspension with Road Preview technology, and a massive 27-inch OLED display, this redesigned luxury SUV delivers performance and refinement that challenges BMW X5, Mercedes GLE, and Audi Q7 at a significantly better value proposition. This comprehensive driving review covers everything enthusiasts need to know about Genesis's most popular model. We dive deep into the driving dynamics that most reviewers miss, including the sophisticated all-wheel-drive system, variable ratio steering, and how the Road Preview suspension actually changes the driving experience. The interior receives major updates for 2026, featuring the largest integrated display in the luxury SUV segment, Bang & Olufsen premium audio with 16 speakers, and a stunning interior. Performance specifications include the 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 producing 375 horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and advanced all-wheel-drive system. The electronically controlled suspension with Road Preview uses forward-facing cameras to scan the road ahead and pre-adjust damping for optimal comfort and control. New for 2026 is Terrain Mode, which optimizes drivetrain and suspension settings for different driving conditions.
