The 2021 Genesis GV80 crossover has been in the safety spotlight ever since Golf legend Tiger Woods had a crash while behind the wheels of the 4-door SUV.
Before the crash, the GV80 had no safety ratings from the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (IIHS). But now, the luxury SUV has gotten the highest stamp of approval after earning a Top Safety Pick+ award in IIHS testing.
The Genesis G80, as well as the G70 and G90 sedans were among more than 90 vehicles to achieve that honor, 50 of which got the stricter TSP+ designation.
