Small overlap front: driver-side

Rating applies to 2022-24 models

Tested vehicle: 2022 Genesis GV70 2.5T 4-door 4wd

The Genesis GV70 was introduced in the 2022 model year. The GV70 is derived from the GV80, but is smaller and lighter. Driver-side small overlap frontal ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test of a 2022 GV70 conducted by Hyundai as part of frontal crash test verification.

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 never exceeded glare limits.

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