[IT비즈뉴스 박인환 기자] Genesis has been proven to be safe in the United States.
The Genesis brand (hereinafter referred to as Genesis) is awarded the’Top Safety Pick Plus (Top Safety)’ to the safest vehicles in a crash assessment announced on the 18th (local time) by the U.S. Highway Safety Insurance Association (IIHS) on the 19th. It was revealed that GV80 was selected for’Pick+)’.
IIHS, a non-profit organization founded in 1959, publishes the results after comprehensively evaluating the collision safety performance and collision prevention performance of hundreds of vehicles released every year. Among them, vehicles showing the highest safety are given a Top Safety Pick Plus rating.
Genesis proved the safety of Genesis by receiving the Top Safety Pick Plus rating for the 21 year model G70 sports sedan and the G90 flagship sedan in February, and the Top Safety Pick Plus rating for the GV80.
To get the Top Safety Pick Plus rating, ▲ driver-side small overlap front ▲ passenger-side small overlap front ▲ moderate overlap front ▲ side impact ▲ roof stiffness ( roof strength) ▲ All of the six collision safety items, including head restraint, should be evaluated as good, which is the highest grade.
In addition, it must receive an advanced or higher grade in the front collision avoidance system test (vehicle and vehicle / vehicle and pedestrian) and an acceptable or higher grade in the headlight evaluation.
Genesis’ luxury flagship SUV, GV80, received the highest grade in the six collision safety criteria evaluation, and received the highest grade in the front collision avoidance system as well as the Top Safety Pick Plus, while fully satisfying the above requirements. I proudly put my name on.
The GV80 model, which won the honor of this selection, is equipped with the highest level of advanced driver assistance and safety technologies such as ▲ Front Collision Avoidance Assistance-Cross Vehicle (FCA-JC) ▲ Lane Keeping Assistance (LFA) ▲ Rear Collision Avoidance Assistance (BCA). It was applied as a specification. In addition, 10 airbags including center side airbags and a solid chassis structure are designed to help the driver safely drive even in difficult driving conditions, which is considered the secret of this selection.
On the other hand, Genesis has earned the Top Safety Pick Plus rating every year, starting with the G80 in 2016, when it first entered the United States. In particular, all of the Genesis sedan lineups sold in the US (G70, G80, G90) have been selected as the safest car by acquiring the Top Safety Pick Plus rating for the second year in a row.
A Genesis official said, “Customers are the center of Genesis. Therefore, safety is Genesis’ uncompromising top priority,” he said. “Genesys will continue to do its best for the safety of its customers.”
