When
you invest in a luxury sports car, you want to make sure you're buying
something that's built just as safely as any minivan. Sleekness and beauty
should never require you to sacrifice your safety, which is why we're so excited
about the 2020 Genesis G70, G80, and G90. All three of these models have made
the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's Top Safety Pick list. This is an
incredible honor that can't be understated. The IIHS determines which vehicles
make this list based on a wide variety of factors that consider every aspect of
the vehicle. If a vehicle scores well enough across the board, it gets chosen
to be a Top Safety Pick. Let's explore what it means for these models to have
achieved such a prestigious name for themselves and see why being a Top Safety
Pick matters.

2020 Genesis G70 for IIHS
Top Safety Pick
Â
The
G70 passed the crashworthiness test with flying colors, scoring "good" down the
list of criteria. IIHS rates vehicles on a scale from Good to Poor. Though the
G70 is a bit smaller than the G80 off which it is based, it doesn't forego any
safety. The G70 also received a Superior rating in Front Crash Prevention:
vehicle-to-vehicle, and an Advanced rating in Front Crash Prevention:
vehicle-to-pedestrian. Child seat anchors were rated Marginal due to their ease
of use, but it's a small sacrifice and doesn't make the G70 any less safe. When
all is said and done, the lowest rating was with its headlights--this varies
from trim to trim but didn't take the G70 off the Top Safety Pick list.

2020 Genesis G80 for IIHS
Top Safety Pick
Â
The
G80 was the original Genesis model to enter Hyundai's luxury line, and it
hasn't fallen behind since. It, too, scored flawlessly across all of the IIHS'
crash tests. It's Front Crash Prevention: vehicle-to-vehicle also scored a
Superior rating, while the Front Crash Prevention: vehicle-to-pedestrian scored
an Advanced rating. Its child seat anchors were rated Marginal just like the
G70. However, the G80 had an improved score of Acceptable when it comes to
headlights. The G80 is a great, reliable luxury sports car that never
sacrifices safety for speed or enjoyment.

2020 Genesis G90 for IIHS
Top Safety Pick
Â
In
2017, Hyundai released the Genesis G90 to join its brothers in this luxury
lineup. The price is higher, but you'll be paying for slightly better safety
test results. The G90 rated impressively across the board form front crash
prevention to head restraints. It's no wonder the G90 made the Top Safety Pick
list!
