The 2010 Hyundai Genesis receives a ‘Top Safety Pick’ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), Fort Worth Hyundai Dealer, Jerry’s Hyundai, reports. The award recognizes vehicles that earn the top rating of “good” for front, side, rollover, and rear crash protection.  Additionally, to earn a “TOP SAFETY PICK” the vehicle must have Electronic Stability Control (ESC), a standard feature on the Genesis.

Maintaining Hyundai’s emphasis on delivering leading safety technology, Genesis boasts world-class active and passive safety features to help both prevent accidents and maximize the wellbeing of its occupants in the event of a collision. The Genesis continues the Hyundai tradition of standardizing key life-saving safety technology, and includes standard features like ESC, Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), eight airbags and electronic active head restraints.

“Genesis was designed to be one of the safest vehicles on the road and includes features such as ESC and Hyundai’s first electronic active front head restraint system, which helps prevent whiplash,” said Derek Joyce, manager of product planning, Hyundai Motor America.

While the 2009 Genesis model was also named as an IIHS “TOP SAFETY PICK,” the standards were raised even higher for 2010, with a roof strength test added to the qualifications. According to the new guidelines, roofs must be more than double the strength of current federal requirements in order to better maintain vehicle integrity in the event of a rollover accident. Hyundai made adjustments to the Genesis roof structure to improve protection in rollover crashes and meet this new standard.
