ANALYSISHow safe is the 2023 Genesis Gv80?
A 5-star overall NHTSA rating is the headline safety result for the 2023 Genesis GV80. That top rating is anchored by a perfect 5-star side impact score. The frontal crash rating of 4 out of 5 stars, and a 4-star rollover rating, introduce modest nuance to the otherwise strong crash protection results. NHTSA recorded a 16 percent rollover risk, but the GV80 passed the dynamic test with a "No Tip" result. This strong performance in crash protection contributes to a NHTSA Safety Index of 87 out of 100, placing the 2023 GV80 in the Strong band. This represents a one-point gain over the 2022 model's 86. The crash protection sub-score is 61 out of 70, and the avoidance technology score is a perfect 10 out of 10, reflecting standard forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and electronic stability control. The defect record component of the Safety Index contributes 16 out of a possible 20 points. This score is directly shaped by four recall campaigns issued against the 2023 GV80. These recalls address seat belts, fuel pump failure, instrument cluster electronics, and fuel line integrity. This spread across multiple safety-critical systems is notable, though no do-not-drive order has been issued. The breadth of recall activity across fuel and electrical systems is the primary factor preventing this year's Safety Index from climbing higher.
