Even vehicles have to take tests. Tests can reveal who is below average, average, and exceptional. While most vehicles perform below or on average, the 2021 Genesis GV80 proves how exceptional it is when it comes to safety. You wouldn’t want to invest in a lawyer who did not pass their bar exam. The same should be said for your vehicle. Every year, vehicles of all sizes, models and types undergo an extensive series of tests administered by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). This independent organization identifies the strengths and weaknesses of vehicles, evaluating safety measurements such as roof strength, crash avoidance, and overall crashworthiness. When it comes to midsize luxury SUVs, the GV80 earned the IIHS’ TOP SAFETY PICK+, the highest crash test rating possible. What does that mean? That means that the GV80 is among the safest vehicles on the road today.

One of the key contributors of the GV80’s recognition as IIHS’ TOP SAFETY PICK+ is it’s stellar crashworthiness performance. Crashworthiness measures a vehicle’s ability to protect the driver and passengers in a crash. The GV80’s performance showed that its structural design is reinforced to protect drivers and passengers from various front impact crashes.The same is for crashes that impact the passenger’s and driver’s side. Additionally, the SUV’s roof strength, which is necessary to protect passengers in overturned vehicles, met the IIHS’ highest standards. Of the six categories that are used to determine crashworthiness, the GV80 received the highest marks for all six categories. To put it plainly, the vehicle is a straight A student when it comes to your safety.

The GV80’s perfect score in crashworthiness shows its ability to keep you safe in a crash. However, wouldn’t you like a vehicle that is smart enough to avoid crashes altogether? The GV80 is that smart vehicle. This luxury SUV once again received top scores in vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian front crash prevention. These front crash prevention tests look at a vehicle’s ability to detect a pedestrian or vehicle and its autobrake system. Once again showing its ability to excel at tests, the GV80 earned Superior ratings for both vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian front crash prevention. There is no higher rating than Superior when discussing a vehicle’s ability to avoid a collision. Therefore, there is no vehicle better equipped to avoid a collision than the GV80.

This high rating is due to the numerous safety features on the Genesis GV80. The Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist can detect slowing or stopped vehicles in front of the GV80. This capability also recognizes pedestrians in front of the vehicle. This technology not only warns you about the possible collision. It activates the car’s automatic braking system to keep everyone safe.

While this luxury SUV keeps you safe from the front, what about safety from behind? Every driver will have to put the car in reverse. With the Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist feature, backing up is safer than ever before. The GV80’s safety system can sense vehicles approaching the sides as you back up and automatically brings your vehicle to a complete stop to avoid a collision.

Another safety feature to keep drivers safe is its Lane-Change Oncoming feature. This safety feature warns drivers as they drift into an opposing lane. Countless drivers get distracted while driving. As much as we want drivers to never get distracted, we know that it happens. The GV80’s Lane-Change Oncoming feature takes a step to make the roads safer for you, your loved ones, and everyone on the road.

How far does the GV80 go to keep you safe? The Driver Attention Warning system can analyze driving patterns and will issue visual and audio warnings when it senses you need to rest.
