Genesis Dominates IIHS Awards

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) is a highly respected organization that rigorously tests and evaluates vehicles for crashworthiness and safety features. The 2025 Genesis GV70 and its eco-friendly sibling, the 2024 Electrified GV70, not only met but exceeded these rigorous standards, earning both models the prestigious TOP SAFETY PICK+ designation.

As of September 2024, Genesis holds more of these safety awards than any other brand. Both the gas-powered GV70 and the all-electric Electrified GV70 benefit from the same suite of active and passive safety features, so whether you choose the gasoline or the emissions-free version, you’ll enjoy comprehensive protection, including eight airbags, advanced driver assistance systems, and features like Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist and Forward Collision Avoidance-Assist with Pedestrian Detection.

The electrified model isn’t just green—it also maintains the same high safety standards as its gasoline-powered counterpart, making it one of the safest electric SUVs you can buy today.

Both the 2025 Genesis GV70 and 2024 Electrified GV70 come equipped with a comprehensive suite of safety technologies, making them some of the safest SUVs in their segment. Here are the standout features that contribute to their IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating:

  • Advanced Driver Assistance: Equipped with Forward Collision Avoidance-Assist with Pedestrian Detection, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, and Lane Keeping Assist, the GV70 lineup actively helps prevent accidents, offering a layer of protection that goes beyond traditional safety measures.
  • Highway Driving Assist: This feature helps keep the vehicle centered in its lane, automatically adjusting speed and maintaining a safe distance from other vehicles during long highway drives.
  • Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Avoidance: When reversing, the system alerts you to approaching vehicles and can apply the brakes to avoid collisions.
  • High Beam Assist: For safer night driving, this feature automatically adjusts the headlights to prevent blinding oncoming traffic while ensuring optimal visibility.

Whether you’re opting for the gas-powered 2025 GV70 or the eco-conscious 2024 Electrified GV70, these cutting-edge safety technologies provide peace of mind and make both SUVs stand out in a crowded market.

What the Top Safety Pick+ Award Means

To achieve the 2024 TOP SAFETY PICK+ designation, the GV70 had to excel in the following tests:

  • Small Overlap & Updated Side Crash Tests: The vehicle needed to score a “good” rating in these stringent tests.
  • Pedestrian Crash Prevention: With more pedestrians sharing the road, a “good” or “acceptable” rating in this test was essential.
  • Headlights: The SUV’s headlights needed to offer clear, well-illuminated vision while avoiding excess glare for oncoming traffic. The GV70 passed with flying colors.
