FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., March 10, 2020 – #genesis today announced that its new flagship sedan, the 2020 G90, earned a TOP #safety PICK+ award from the Insurance Institute for Highway #safety (IIHS). G90 also earned a superior rating for vehicle-to-vehicle interactions, avoiding collisions in 12 and 25 mph track tests. The brand’s other 2020 model year vehicles, the entry-luxury G70 and the mid-luxury G80, both received the same accolade in mid-February. #genesis is the only brand in the industry with an entire lineup of TOP #safety PICK+ rated vehicles.

“At #genesis, we thrive on putting our customers first,” said Mark Del Rosso, President and CEO of #genesis Motor North America. “That’s why we greatly appreciate this acknowledgement of our vehicles’ excellent performance by the highly-regarded IIHS.”

For a 2020 vehicle to achieve a Top #safety Pick + rating, it must: 1) have “Good” ratings in the driver-side small overlap front, passenger-side small overlap front, moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraint tests, 2) receive an “Advanced” or “Superior” rating for available front crash prevention — vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian evaluations, and 3) must have “Acceptable” or “Good” headlights as standard equipment.

The G90 also earned an advanced rating for pedestrian front crash prevention. In each of the vehicle-to-pedestrian test scenarios, the G90 avoided collisions in the lower-speed tests and achieved significant speed reductions in the higher-speed tests.

“Nighttime visibility is critical to highway #safety, so we’re particularly glad to see that the G90 comes standard with headlights that earn a good rating in our tests. This means that all new G90 buyers will drive away with a vehicle that provides good visibility while also limiting glare to other road users,” says IIHS Chief Research Officer, David Zuby.

All #genesis models come standard with a comprehensive suite of state-of-the-art driver assistance and #safety technologies including Forward Collision Avoidance-Assist with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Keep Assist, Blind-Spot Collision Warning and more. Just as importantly, each vehicle in the #genesis line-up offers sure-footed handling thanks to rigid chassis construction ensuring drivers are ready to face even the most difficult driving conditions with confidence.
