ANCAP Issues 5-Star Safety Rating To Genesis GV70

ANCAP says the safety of the medium SUV segment has been bolstered following the awarding of a five-star safety rating to the Genesis GV70.

According to ANCAP, the GV70 features a wide range of safety technology fitted as standard, including a centre airbag and a fatigue detection system which monitors steering inputs for patterns which are characteristic of a fatigued or inattentive driver.

Tests of the GV70’s lane support system showed “adequate” and “good” performance across the range of lane keep assist and “more critical” emergency lane keeping scenarios.

“The purpose of people movers is to transport a large number of passengers in a family or business setting, so it’s very pleasing to see the safety and design of vehicles in this segment improving,” said ANCAP Chief Executive Officer Carla Hoorweg.

“The Genesis GV70 offers a comprehensive range of safety features and solid results across all areas of ANCAP’s assessment.”
