The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) released more Top Safety Picks for 2024, and both the Genesis G80 and G90 sedans received the Top Safety Pick+ designations. This upgraded designation was new for 2023, and applies to all G80 and G90 models made after October 2023 when the company made alterations to the rear seat belts to better protect occupants.

To achieve this safety designation for the 2024 model year, a vehicle must achieve good ratings in the small overlap front and updated side tests, acceptable or good ratings for headlights across all trims, and advanced or superior ratings for pedestrian front crash prevention. All Genesis models include ample standard safety features, including forward collision-avoidance assist with pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assist, and blind-spot collision warning to help keep everyone in the vehicle safe.
Another Win For Hyundai
Genesis joins its parent company Hyundai in celebrating its safety ratings. Hyundai announced last week that its vehicles have more Top Safety Pick designations than any other automaker.
