Genesis G80 Selected as the 'Safest Car' in the United States

Genesis G80

[Asia Economy Reporter Changhwan Lee] The Genesis G80 has received the highest safety rating from the U.S. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

According to the automotive industry on the 26th, the Genesis G80 recently earned the Top Safety Pick+ rating, which is awarded to the safest vehicles, based on the crash evaluation results announced by IIHS.

The G80 previously received the Top Safety Pick+ rating with its second-generation (DH) model when it first entered the U.S. market in 2016. This time, the third-generation model (The All-New G80), launched in the U.S. market in the second half of last year, was evaluated for the first time.

IIHS, a non-profit organization established in 1959, comprehensively evaluates the crash safety performance and crash prevention performance of hundreds of vehicles released each year, awarding the Top Safety Pick+ rating to vehicles demonstrating the highest safety.

To receive the highest rating, a vehicle must earn the top rating of "good" in all six crash safety categories: front crash, side crash, roof strength, head restraints, and others.

The G80 model is equipped with forward collision prevention assist, which helps prevent accidents by braking when a collision with a vehicle, pedestrian, or cyclist is anticipated, and rear side collision prevention assist, which detects vehicles approaching from the rear side during driving and provides warnings and braking.

Mark Del Rosso, CEO of Genesis North America, said, "Customers are at the core of everything we do, and safety is our top priority."
