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

Tested vehicle: 2019 Genesis G70 2.0T 4-door
Rating applies to 2019-25 models

The Genesis G70 was introduced in the 2019 model year. The G70 is derived from the G80, but is smaller and lighter. Driver-side small overlap frontal ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test conducted by Hyundai. The ratings also apply to the structurally similar Kia Stinger, which was introduced in the 2018 model year.
