This year, Genesis is showing it’s the brand to beat when it comes to awards. Back in June, it dominated the 2019 J.D. Power Initial Quality Study, awards many shoppers take into account when looking for a new car to take home.  Now J.D. Power has conferred a new award on the Genesis G70 and its entertainment systems.

The official award title is the J.D. Power 2019 Multimedia Quality and Satisfaction Study. The Genesis G70 took home the top prize for its compact premium segment, which includes both SUVs and cars. Like the Initial Quality Study, the multimedia edition recognizes vehicles with infotainment systems that score the lowest amount of problems per 100 cars sold, also marked as PP100. According to J.D. Power, the G70 scored a very low 7.4 PP100. That number is especially impressive when you consider that the number is 28 percent lower than its closest competitor in the segment.

Overall, all Genesis vehicles tested in the study scored 63 PP100. That number might look intimidating, but it’s 25 percent fewer than the runner-up premium brand and 32 percent fewer than the industry standard.

“Our customers constantly tell us how technological innovation is one of their top purchase reasons. We are always striving to bring meaningful technological innovations into our cars. So, receiving this recognition from industry leader J.D. Power reinforces our commitment to deliver the best ownership experience to customers through our focus on incredible audio entertainment and effortless communication and navigation systems,” said Erwin Raphael, COO, Genesis Motor America.

A quality infotainment system that connects to devices with ease and performs with minimal errors goes a long way towards how we perceive our car purchases. If a pain-free entertainment experience is essential for your drive, the Genesis G70 should be on your list of vehicles to test drive.
