The luxury brand Genesis was ranked as the most innovative in the North American market in the J.D. Power 2025 U.S. Tech Experience Index (TXI) study, released this Thursday (21).

It is the fifth consecutive year that the manufacturer affiliated with the Hyundai group leads the ranking, which evaluates the adoption and acceptance of new technologies in vehicles sold in the United States.

In addition to first place in the overall ranking and in the premium segment, Genesis also stood out with the GV80 SUV, chosen as the model with the best connected vehicle technology.

The award-winning system was the Genesis Digital Key 2, which allows the driver to access and start the car using only a smartphone or smartwatch, through platforms such as Apple Wallet, Samsung Wallet, Google Wallet, watchOS, and Android Smart Watch.
