Genesis GV70

The passenger compartment of the GV70 remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of the driver and passenger. Genesis showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to the upper legs of occupants of different sizes and to those sitting in different positions. Analysis of the deceleration of the impact trolley during the test, and of the deformation of the barrier afterwards, revealed that the GV70 would be a moderately aggressive crash partner to other vehicles. In the full width rigid barrier test, protection of the chest of both the driver and rear passenger dummies was rated as marginal, based on readings of chest compression.  All other critical body areas were rated as good or adequate.  In both the side barrier test and the more severe side pole impact, protection of all critical body regions was good and the GV70 scores maximum points in this part of the assessment. Limitation of occupant excursion - the extent to which the occupant is flung to the other side of the vehicle in a side impact - was rated as adequate. The GV70 is equipped with a centre airbag to protect against occupant to occupant injuries in side impacts. The airbag performed well in Euro NCAP's tests, with good protection of the dummies' heads. Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated good protection against whiplash injures in the event of a rear-end collision. A geometric assessment of the rear seats indicated marginal whiplash protection. The GV70 has an advanced eCall system which automatically alerts the emergency services in the event of a collision, and multi-collision braking to prevent secondary impacts.
