ANALYSISHow safe is the 2022 Genesis Gv80?
The 2022 Genesis GV80 represents a measurable step forward in MotorCaliber's scoring, posting an 86/100 Safety Index against the 2021 model's 82/100, a four-point gain within the same Strong band. That improvement is anchored by a near-complete crash protection score of 61 out of 70 and a perfect 10 out of 10 for crash-avoidance technology, reflecting the standard fitment of forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and electronic stability control across this model year. The defect record component contributed 15.25 out of 20, a figure that reflects the weight of four recall campaigns, two of which specifically target fuel pump failure. The fuel system theme running through three of the four recalls is the defining safety story for this particular model year. The seat belt recall adds a second occupant-protection dimension. The 41 owner complaints concentrate heavily on the engine and fuel/propulsion system, aligning with the recall activity and reinforcing that the fuel delivery architecture is the area demanding the most scrutiny on any 2022 GV80 being evaluated today.
