ANALYSISHow safe is the 2024 Genesis Gv80?
The 2024 Genesis GV80 registers a Safety Index of 84/100, placing it within the Strong band, yet marking a three-point decrease from the 2023 model's 87/100. This decline is largely attributable to the defect record component, which scored 17.75 out of a possible 20, influenced by two recall campaigns for this model year. Crash protection remains a strength, contributing 56 out of 70 to the overall index. This is underpinned by 4-star ratings from NHTSA in both frontal impact and rollover categories. The rollover risk, at 16 percent, is consistent with expectations for a mid-size luxury SUV. The GV80 achieves a perfect 10 out of 10 in avoidance technology, reflecting the standard inclusion of forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and electronic stability control across all 2024 trims. Of the two recalls, the fuel system campaign, affecting a broad range of Genesis models from 2021 through 2026, presents the more significant safety concern due to the potential for fuel leakage. The instrument cluster recall, while of lesser severity, also remains an open issue for many vehicles. These two defect campaigns distinguish the 2024 GV80 from its predecessor, despite its strong foundational safety performance.
