2010 Hyundai Genesis Safety Review

November 10, 2009

SAFETY | 10 out of 10

Expert Quotes:

Five stars, all tests
NHTSA

Top Safety Pick
IIHS

full complement of active and passive safety features
Edmunds

The 2010 Hyundai Genesis has extensive safety equipment to go with its class-leading safety scores.

The Genesis was new last year, and both major crash-test organizations gave it the highest scores available. NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) awarded the Genesis five stars in all front, rear and side-impact tests. The IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) gave the Genesis "good" marks for its more rigorous tests, and with the fitting of standard stability control, the Genesis earned its Top Safety Pick award.

The 2010 Genesis sports eight airbags in all-dual front, side curtain, and front and rear-seat side airbags-as standard equipment, along with stability control and anti-lock brakes. Edmunds calls that a "full complement of active and passive safety features."

Outward visibility is good, and the Genesis now offers adaptive cruise control to go with its available rear camera and front and rear parking sensors.

Conclusion

The 2010 Hyundai Genesis is among the safest vehicles of its kind.

Other Choices:

Hyundai says the Genesis has the power and interior space of a BMW 7-Series or Benz S-Class, but the real targets here are Japanese luxury sedans like the Infiniti M four-doors and the Lexus GS range. The Infiniti sedans have snappy handling and quick, responsive steering, as well as a leather-wrapped dash that's a dead ringer for that in the Genesis. The Lexus GS sports a hybrid option, but significantly less interior room than the Hyundai, albeit with flawless execution. The Chrysler 300 is a viable alternative, since it offers V-8 power and all-wheel drive, which the Genesis does not-but the 300 has a plainer cabin and less luxury credibility than any of these other sedans.
