ABOVE: BMW iX and Genesis GV70
iX did not do so well in the frontal offset (MPDB) test, where passengers were not offered the same protection as other vehicles tested..
The BMW iX and Genesis GV70 both have active bonnets, which lift the bonnet clear the engine if a pedestrian is struck. However, neither vehicle offered good pelvis protection to pedestrians.
The Genesis GV70 scored highly in Adult Occupant Protection and Safety Assist. All collisions were avoided or mitigated in the AEB car-to-car and Vulnerable Road User scenarios, including AEB junction assist.
Genesis GV70 has a centre airbag and a fatigue detection system, which monitors steering inputs for patterns which are characteristic of a fatigued or inattentive driver.
GV70’s Lane Support System can reduce head-on and single-vehicle crashes, and decent performance with lane keep assist.
