The GV80 has earned the prestigious title of an IIHS Top Safety Pick Plus, and its safety features are nothing short of impressive. It goes beyond the basics, offering a robust set of standard driver assistance features, including automatic emergency braking, lane departure assistance, and blindspot coverage.

Imagine this: as you approach a busy intersection, the GV80 system anticipates potential risks from all directions. It can detect vehicles coming from the opposite lane or from the left and right, and in a split second, it can apply the brakes to prevent side or head-on collisions.
Strengthening its effectiveness, this system can even assess the speed and trajectory of vehicles two lanes away, whether they're heading in the same direction or opposite to you. If there's a risk of collision, the GV80's lane-change oncoming and lane side features spring into action, automatically halting the vehicle.
And it doesn't end with braking alone. The 2026 Genesis GV80 takes it a step further with evasive steering torque assist. Once you initiate steering input, this feature provides valuable assistance, helping you maneuver your vehicle safely and confidently.
