Genesis G80 And G90 Sedans Secure Top IIHS Safety Pick+ For 2024
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has recently bestowed the 2024 Genesis G80 sedan and G90 flagship sedan with the prestigious TOP SAFETY PICK+ (TSP+) designation. This accolade is reserved for vehicles built after October 2023, marking a significant achievement for Genesis. The award reflects substantial improvements in rear occupant protection, a testament to Genesis's unwavering dedication to customer safety.
Genesis's commitment to safety is further underscored by the enhancements made to the rear seat belts in both the G80 and G90 models. These modifications were pivotal in elevating the vehicles from their previous TOP SAFETY PICK status to the coveted TSP+ ranking. The TSP+ award is a rigorous evaluation by IIHS, highlighting the safest vehicle choices within various size categories each year. For 2024, the G80 and G90 join the ranks of the GV60 and GV80, both of which have also received top honors.
Brian Latouf, Genesis's global chief safety and quality officer, expressed pride in this achievement, stating, "The top IIHS rating for G80 and G90 vehicles built after October 2023 proves our commitment to safety remains firm." He emphasized that with the addition of these models to Genesis's lineup of TSP+ designated vehicles, customer safety continues to be a paramount concern for the brand.
To qualify for the TSP+ award, vehicles must achieve good ratings in both the small overlap front and updated side tests. Additionally, they must come equipped with acceptable or good headlights across all trims and earn advanced or superior ratings in pedestrian front crash prevention. The 2024 Genesis G80 and G90 sedans have met these stringent criteria, showcasing Genesis's dedication to incorporating advanced safety features across its model range.
