Hyundai has officially announced the new 2015 Genesis and will be showing the new vehicle at an event during the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas early next month. The South Korean automaker's flagship luxury sedan will be the first to use the company's next-gen version of BlueLink, a telematics platform that connects to your smartphone over Bluetooth. Details are scarce, but the announcement hints at the use of Google search to find destinations through the nav system. There's also a new Intelligent Assistant app that will surely go beyond the simple lock/unlock of current apps.
A video in Korean, released a few days ago, explains more of the advancements of the 2015 Genesis. The sedan will use blindspot-monitoring tech now common on luxury cars (and many family cars) and include a heads-up display (HUD) that shows blind-spot warnings.
A new Advanced Smart Parking Assist appears to show the car backing up automatically into a typical parking space. However, the feature may just include sensors to alert you about obstructions. That's a common feature on many Audi and BMW cars today.

In the 2015 Hyundai Genesis, a new Smart Trunk feature causes the trunk to pop open if you approach the car from behind and don't reach out to open the trunk manually.
