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 2023-25 models

Tested vehicle: 2023 Genesis GV60 EV Advanced 4-door 4wd

The Genesis GV60, an all-new electric vehicle built on the same platform as the Hyundai Ioniq 5, was introduced in the 2023 model year. Driver-side small overlap frontal ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test of a GV60 conducted by Hyundai.

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 remained in an ideal position on the dummy’s chest.

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

Tested vehicle: 2024 Genesis GV60 EV Advanced 4-door 4wd

The Genesis GV60, an all-new electric vehicle built on the same platform as the Hyundai Ioniq 5, was introduced in the 2023 model year. Beginning with 2024 models a rear side thorax airbag was implemented and reinforcements were added to the B-pillar and front door to improve occupant protection in side impact crashes. Side 2.0 ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test of a 2024 GV60 conducted by Hyundai.

Low beams
On the straightaway, visibility was good on both sides of the road. On curves, visibility was good in all 4 tests.

The low beams created some glare.

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

High-beam assist compensates for some limitations of this vehicle's low beams on the sharp left curve.
