2020 Genesis G90 earns Institute's highest award

The 2020 Genesis G90, a large luxury car, earns a Top Safety Pick+ award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

To qualify for a 2020 Top Safety Pick+ award, a vehicle must earn good ratings in the driver-side small overlap front, passenger-side small overlap front, moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraint tests. It also needs advanced or superior ratings for both vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian front crash prevention, as well as an acceptable or good rating for all its available headlight options.

Good-rated LED projector headlights come standard on the G90.

A front crash prevention system designed to recognize both vehicles and pedestrians also comes standard. The G90 earns a superior rating for vehicle-to-vehicle interactions, avoiding collisions in 12 and 25 mph track tests. It earns 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.

Two other models from Genesis — the G70 and G80 — previously qualified for 2020 Top Safety Pick+ awards.
