Small overlap front

The small overlap front evaluation consists of a driver-side and a passenger-side component. If the results of the two evaluations differ, then the combined small overlap rating is equal to the lower rating.

Driver-side

  • Rating applies to 2023-24 models

Tested vehicle: 2023 Genesis Electrified GV70 Advanced 4-door 4wd

The Genesis Electrified GV70, an electric variant of the GV70, was introduced in the 2023 model year.

Action shot taken during the driver-side small overlap frontal crash test.

The dummy's position in relation to the door frame, steering wheel, and instrument panel after the crash test indicates that the driver's survival space was maintained well.

The frontal and side curtain airbags worked well together to keep the head from coming close to any stiff structure or outside objects that could cause injury.

Intrusion of the brake pedal and left instrument panel contributed to a moderate risk of injury to the left lower leg.

About the original moderate overlap front test

Moderate overlap front: updated test

Rating applies to 2024 models built after April 2024

Tested vehicle: 2024 Genesis Electrified GV70 Advanced 4-door 4wd

The Genesis Electrified GV70, an electric variant of the GV70, was introduced in the 2023 model year. Beginning with 2024 models, built after April 2024, improvements were made to the rear seat belts and rear seat design to improve occupant protection in moderate overlap front with rear occupant crashes (Information about when a specific vehicle was manufactured is on the certification label typically affixed to the car on the driver door or adjacent B-pillar.)

View of the vehicle after the crash showing the airbags and damage to the occupant compartment.

The rear passenger dummy's head remained a safe distance from the front seatback.

Rear passenger dummy injury values indicate a low risk of injury to the head or neck and a moderate risk of injury to the chest. During the crash, the shoulder belt remained in an ideal position on the dummy’s chest.

The rear passenger dummy's lap belt remained in the ideal position on the pelvis.
