Genesis G80 Electrified is, in spite of its name, the pure-electric version of the G80 luxury sedan, and just like the internal combustion-engined version, it has been named a Top Safety Pick+ by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The two G80 variants got almost identical results, showing that it doesn’t matter what powers this big sedan, it’s a very safe vehicle.
The G80 EV got “good” ratings in all the crash tests, including the two small overlap tests, as well as in the roof strength and head restraints categories. It was only marked down for its LED projector headlights, which were deemed “acceptable” due the fact that low beam visibility on the right side of the road being deemed “inadequate.”
The IIHS noted that in the Genesis 80’s case, “high-beam assist compensates for some limitations of this vehicle’s low beams on the straightaway and on both left curves.” However, even the high beams showed their limitations during testing, not providing sufficient illumination for sharp right curves.
