Hyundai ’s all-new Genesis large sedan earned the top crash-test performance ratings the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration bestows on a car: Five stars for frontal and side-impact protection.
“Genesis was engineered with a lightweight but strong body shell, featuring ultra high-tensile steel, laser welding and advanced adhesive bonding,” said John Krafcik, Hyundai’s vice president of strategic planning and product development for the North American market.
“Add eight airbags and electronic active head restraints, and you can see the focus we placed on designing Genesis for occupant safety,” Krafcik said in a release from the automaker.
