Side crash test ratings can be compared across vehicle categories. |
This rating applies to vehicles other than the specific model and body style tested.
The Hyundai Genesis was redesigned for the 2015 model year. Side ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test conducted by Hyundai as part of side crash test verification. (The car tested by Hyundai was designated as a 2014 model but was fully representative of the redesigned 2015 model.)
Hyundai created a new luxury division known as "Genesis" beginning with the 2017 model year. The Hyundai Genesis therefore was renamed the Genesis G80 in the same year. Side ratings carry over unchanged to the G80.
Injury measures
Driver — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.
Passenger — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.
Head protection
Driver — The dummy’s head was protected from being hit by any hard structures, including the intruding barrier, by a side curtain airbag that deployed from the roof and a side airbag that deployed from the seat.
Passenger — The dummy’s head was protected from being hit by any hard structures, including the intruding barrier, by a side curtain airbag that deployed from the roof.
