The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has announced that the 2025 Genesis GV70 and the 2024 Electrified GV70 SUVs have been awarded the prestigious TOP SAFETY PICK+ (TSP+) designations for vehicles built after April 2024. This significant achievement propels Genesis to the forefront as the automotive brand with the most TSP+ ratings as of September 2024, highlighting the company’s unwavering commitment to safety excellence.
Recognition from IIHS
The TSP+ award is one of the most respected honors in the automotive industry, identifying the best vehicle choices for safety within each category. This year’s evaluation saw both the GV70 and the Electrified GV70 upgraded from their previous TOP SAFETY PICK ratings, reflecting Genesis’s continuous efforts to enhance safety features across its lineup.
“At Genesis, the safety of our customers always comes first,” said Cole Stutz, Chief Safety Officer of Genesis Motor North America. “The recognition of the GV70 and the Electrified GV70 SUVs as TOP SAFETY PICK+ by the IIHS further validates our dedication to providing the safest vehicles on the road.”
Meeting Stringent IIHS Criteria
To qualify for the 2024 TOP SAFETY PICK+, vehicles must meet stringent criteria set by the IIHS. They must earn good ratings in the small overlap front and updated side crash tests and achieve at least an acceptable rating in the updated moderate overlap front test. Additionally, vehicles must earn an acceptable or good rating for pedestrian front crash prevention and be equipped with standard headlights rated as acceptable or good.
All Genesis models come equipped with a comprehensive suite of advanced active and passive safety technologies designed to prevent accidents and protect occupants. Standard features include Forward Collision Avoidance-Assist with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Keeping Assist, and Blind-Spot Collision Warning. These technologies work together to help drivers avoid potential hazards and provide enhanced protection if a collision is unavoidable.
Advanced Safety Features Across the Genesis Lineup
The 2025 Genesis GV70 and the 2024 Electrified GV70 are equipped with an impressive array of safety and driver assistance features. They include eight standard airbags, offering comprehensive protection with front, side, and curtain airbags for both the driver and passenger, a driver knee airbag, and a center airbag designed to reduce injury during side-impact collisions.
Highway Driving Assist helps center the vehicle within the driving lane and maintains an appropriate speed, adjusting to keep a safe distance from the vehicle ahead. Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Avoidance Assist provides audible and visual warnings and can apply the brakes if a potential collision is detected while reversing. Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist enhances driver awareness by reducing the chance of impact with vehicles detected in blind spots.
High Beam Assist contributes to safer nighttime driving by automatically turning the high beams on and off based on ambient light and the presence of oncoming vehicles, ensuring optimal visibility without causing glare for other drivers. Additionally, Genesis Connected Services and Connected Care offer an always-on connection, providing peace-of-mind safety features like Automatic Collision Notification, Enhanced Roadside Assistance, and SOS Emergency Assistance whenever the vehicle has access to a cellular network.
