ANALYSISHow safe is the 2024 Genesis G80?
The 2024 Genesis G80 marks a meaningful step forward from an already strong baseline. The NHTSA Safety Index climbed from 95/100 in the 2023 model year to 98/100 here, a three-point gain that pushed the score deeper into the Exceptional band. The improvement is traceable in the component breakdown: crash protection earned a perfect 70 out of 70, avoidance technology scored a full 10 out of 10, and the defect record component came in at 18 out of 20, the only category leaving any points on the table. That two-point defect-record deduction reflects the pair of active recall campaigns, one addressing fuel delivery components across a wide Genesis lineup and one targeting the instrument cluster and panel on select 2023 and 2024 models. Neither recall erases the year's gains, but both remain live safety obligations for current owners and prospective buyers. The complaint record for this year is exceptionally thin at just one unverified allegation, touching lane departure behavior, which provides no statistically meaningful signal. Taken together, the 2024 G80's profile is defined by a rare five-star sweep in every NHTSA crash category combined with standard-equipment forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and electronic stability control, offset modestly by two open recall campaigns that buyers must address.
NCAP // CRASH TESTHow did the 2024 Genesis G80 perform in crash tests?
