Genesis Earns IIHS Top Safety Pick+ — What It Means for You

When it comes to choosing a luxury vehicle, style and performance often top the list — but for many drivers, safety is the deciding factor. That’s why the IIHS Top Safety Pick+ designation matters so much. It’s the gold standard in automotive safety, and Genesis has earned it across multiple models in its lineup.

What Is the IIHS Top Safety Pick+?

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) is one of the most respected independent safety research organizations in the world. Their Top Safety Pick+ award is the highest honor they give — reserved only for vehicles that perform at the top level across a rigorous battery of crash tests, including small overlap front, moderate overlap front, side, roof strength, and head restraint evaluations. Earning this designation isn’t easy, which makes it all the more meaningful when a vehicle achieves it.

Genesis Models That Have Earned Top Honors

Genesis has built its reputation on blending luxury craftsmanship with an unwavering commitment to driver and passenger safety. Several models in the Genesis lineup have earned the IIHS Top Safety Pick+ designation:

• Genesis G70 — The G70 is a sport sedan that proves you don’t have to sacrifice safety for performance. Its strong crash test results make it one of the safest vehicles in its class.
• Genesis G80 — The G80 combines executive-level luxury with top-tier safety ratings, making it an ideal choice for drivers who want the best of both worlds.
• Genesis GV80 — As Genesis’s flagship SUV, the GV80 has earned widespread praise not only for its stunning interior and smooth ride, but also for its outstanding safety performance.

Safety Technology Built In

Beyond crash test ratings, Genesis vehicles come equipped with a suite of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) designed to help prevent accidents before they happen. Features like Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Blind-Spot Collision Warning, and Driver Attention Warning are standard across many models — giving you confidence on every drive.
