T
he Hyundai Genesis is a large luxury car. To qualify for
Top
Safety Pick, a vehicle must earn the highest rating of good in the
Institute's front, side, and rear tests and be equipped with electronic
stability control. Criteria to win are tough because the award is intended to
drive continued safety improvements such as top crash test ratings and the rapid
addition of electronic stability control, which is standard on the Genesis.
"Recognizing vehicles at the head of the class for safety helps consumers
distinguish the best overall choices without having to sort through multiple
test results," says Institute president Adrian Lund.
The
Top Safety Pick designation applies to 2009
Genesis models built after November, 2008.
