To tempt you away from established rivals such as the Audi Q5 and BMW X3, the Genesis GV70 can’t just ape them; it has to innovate. That means offering things that neither of those models has – one example being my car’s 3D-effect digital instruments.

The theory is that by highlighting certain information, you’ll be able to see it more easily. And unlike with a 3D movie, you don’t need to wear special glasses for it to work.

Sadly, in practice, the system isn’t all that smart. In my first couple of times using it, the 3D effect kept toggling itself on and off, meaning my instruments looked like they were caught in a strange, glitching loop. And even when it does work, the information I’d like to be highlighted – my speed, for example – isn’t that much clearer.
