Genesis Gv60 Safety
NHTSA safety across every Genesis Gv60 model year we cover.
Across the 3 model years of the Genesis Gv60 we cover (2023 to 2025), the strongest crash-test showing is the 2025 at 86 on the NHTSA Safety Index, and the lowest is the 2024 at 85. 17 recalls have been issued across those years.
The Genesis GV60 is a luxury electric compact SUV aimed at buyers who want premium refinement alongside zero-emission driving. Positioned as the sportiest entry in Genesis's EV lineup, it competes in the growing upscale electric crossover segment and targets tech-forward professionals who refuse to trade comfort or safety for sustainability. Coverage spans the 2023 through 2025 model years.
The 2025 Genesis GV60 achieved a perfect 5 out of 5 stars in both side-impact and rollover crash testing, reflecting the inherent stability of its battery-floor architecture. This strong performance underpins its Best NHTSA Safety Index score of 86 out of 100, placing it in the Strong safety band for a luxury electric compact SUV. However, the frontal crash test result of 4 out of 5 stars prevents a clean sweep of the star ratings. NHTSA records 17 recalls for the GV60 across the 2023 to 2025 model years. For a recently introduced, low-volume model, this number is notably high. Additionally, 75 owner complaints have been filed, including 3 reported crashes and 1 reported injury. While these complaints remain unverified allegations, their volume for a niche vehicle warrants attention. The GV60 demonstrates impressive crash-test results, yet its recall history introduces real-world safety uncertainty, precluding a top-tier endorsement from MotorCaliber. Prospective buyers should verify the status of all open recalls via a VIN check at NHTSA.gov.
WHAT REVIEWERS SAYReviewers generally praise the GV60 for its distinctive styling, upscale interior execution, and engaging driving character within the luxury electric SUV class. They tend to highlight its premium technology features and brand ambition, while noting that Genesis is still building its service network footprint, which factors into overall ownership confidence for some critics.
- The 2025 GV60 achieves an NHTSA Safety Index of 86 out of 100, placing it in the Strong band, but its 4 out of 5 frontal crash-test score means it has not achieved a perfect safety sweep.
- Seventeen recalls across the 2023 to 2025 model years is a high count for a low-volume luxury EV, making a VIN-specific recall check at NHTSA.gov an essential step before any purchase or lease.
- Owner complaints total 75 across covered model years, with 3 reported crashes and 1 reported injury noted among them. These are unverified allegations, but the volume warrants awareness for a vehicle sold in relatively modest numbers.
- The GV60 earns perfect 5 out of 5 stars in both side-impact and rollover testing, a result consistent with the structural advantages of a dedicated EV platform where battery placement lowers the vehicle's center of gravity.
