Genesis SUV Earns Top Crash Test Rating in the US

GV60, 70, and 80 All Obtain TSP+

Genesis announced on the 21st that three of its models received the highest rating, Top Safety Pick Plus (TSP+), in the crash evaluation released by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) in the United States. The vehicles that received this rating are the GV60, GV70, and GV80, which received the same rating as last year.

This crash evaluation result is significant in that it met the strengthened evaluation criteria starting this year. IIHS raised the standards for side crash and pedestrian crash prevention evaluations and applied stricter criteria for headlamp evaluations. In February, under the strengthened evaluation criteria, the G90 also earned the TSP+ rating.

The side crash evaluation involved a heavier object colliding with the vehicle (approximately 1497 kg → 1896 kg) and a higher collision speed (about 49.8 km/h → 59.5 km/h). The pedestrian crash prevention evaluation added a nighttime test that was not previously included. For headlamp evaluations, both TSP and TSP+ require all trims of the vehicle to receive a rating of ‘Good’ or higher.

To receive the TSP+ rating, a vehicle must earn the highest rating of ‘Good’ in four crash safety categories: driver-side small overlap, passenger-side small overlap, front crash, and side crash. It must also achieve a rating of ‘Superior’ or higher in the daytime and nighttime front crash prevention system tests (for both vehicles and pedestrians), and a rating of ‘Good’ or higher in headlamp evaluations across all trims of the vehicle.

IIHS, established in 1959 as a non-profit organization, annually evaluates and publishes comprehensive results on the crash safety performance and crash prevention capabilities of vehicles released in the U.S. market. Vehicles demonstrating the highest safety receive the TSP+ rating, while those with good performance receive the TSP rating.

A Genesis representative stated, “Genesis prioritizes customer safety above all in developing all vehicle models,” adding, “Achieving the highest rating in the strengthened IIHS crash tests demonstrates the high safety standards of Genesis models.”
