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 G80 EV 4-door 4wd

The Genesis Electrified G80 is an all-new battery electric variant of the Genesis G80 and was introduced for 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.

The driver's space was maintained well, and risk of injuries to the dummy's legs and feet was low.

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

Smeared greasepaint indicates where the dummy's head contacted the side curtain airbag during rebound.

Intrusion into the driver's space was minimal, and all leg and foot injury measures were low.

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 chest. During the crash, the shoulder belt moved too far upward toward the dummy’s neck, compromising the effectiveness of the rear restraint system.

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

About the moderate overlap front test

February 2024 adjustment to rating criteria

Side: updated test

Rating applies to 2024 models

Tested vehicle: 2024 Genesis Electrified G80 Std 4-door 4wd

The Genesis Electrified G80 is an all-new battery electric variant of the Genesis G80 and was introduced for the 2023 model year. Beginning with 2024 models, modifications were made to the door structure, reinforcements were added to the B-pillar and door sill, and pre-tensioning retractors were added to the rear seatbelts. These changes were implemented to improve occupant protection in side impact crashes. Side 2.0 ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test of a 2024 Electrified G80 conducted by Hyundai/Kia.

Driver head protection The dummy's head moved downward past the side curtain airbag and contacted the window sill of the driver door, while the head was in proximity to the intruding barrier. Although the barrier did not hit the dummy's head in this test, this near miss indicates that only slightly different crash circumstances could produce a direct hit to a person's head. The head protection is inadequate.
Rear passenger injury measures
Head/neck
Torso
Pelvis
Rear passenger head protection During the crash, the rear dummy had excessively high head acceleration during inflation of the side curtain airbag, resulting in a downgrade of the head protection rating.

Overall rating
Distance at which headlights provide at least 5 lux illumination:

Low beams
On the straightaway, visibility was fair on the left side of the road and inadequate on the right side. On curves, visibility was good on both right curves, fair on the sharp left curve and inadequate on the gradual left curve.

The low beams never exceeded glare limits.

High beams
On the straightaway, visibility was good on both sides of the road. On curves, visibility was good on the gradual left and gradual right curves, fair on the sharp left curve and inadequate on the sharp right curve.

High-beam assist compensates for some limitations of this vehicle's low beams on the straightaway and on both left curves.
