2023 GV60: ADDITIONAL FEATURES in more detail
Face Connect & Fingerprint Start
2023 GV60 introduces Face Connect and Fingerprint Start, which let users experience true keyless convenience.
Face Connect employs biometric facial recognition to recognise the driver via a camera in the driver’s side door trim, which allows the vehicle to be conveniently unlocked without a key.
At the same time, personalised settings are activated, including seat position, steering wheel, mirrors and infotainment settings.
The camera features near infrared technology and deep learning-based recognition, which allows effective operation even in dark conditions or when the driver’s face is partially obscured, such as by a hat or glasses.
Face Connect also supports vehicle locking with the key inside the vehicle, which is ideal for activities such as surfing, where carrying a key would be inconvenient.
Further supporting a keyless lifestyle is fingerprint recognition functionality that allows vehicle start without a key.
The driver can simply touch the fingerprint reader and then start the vehicle via the start button after a confirmation message is displayed on screen.
