A private nonprofit organization, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) is funded by automobile insurance companies and insurance organizations. Its mission is to “reduce losses from motor vehicle crashes.” They do so by reviewing deaths, injuries, and property damage that results from motor vehicle crashes, as well as by researching and reporting on crashworthiness, crash avoidance, and roadway design.  

IIHS determines the Top Safety Pick+ award winners through several stringent safety crash tests. These tests include a Driver’s Side Small Overlap Front crash test, a Passenger Side Small Overlap Front crash test, a Moderate Overlap Front crash test, a Side Impact crash test, Head Restraints tests, a Front Crash Prevention Systems test, and a Headlight Rating test. The G60 electric was recognized for its state-of-the-art and passive safety technologies, as well as its advanced safety system.

Claudia Marquez, Chief Operating Officer of Genesis Motor North America, said:

Genesis continues to prioritize safety at the forefront of everything we do. We are pleased with this recognition from IIHS, further highlighting the importance we put on keeping our customers safe.

This award is just the beginning of Genesis EVs taking the luxury vehicle game by storm.
