Default Genesis Got Good Safety News, but it Comes at a Price





It's all about the front driver's side of your car when it comes to collisions, which is why the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration has its small overlap crash test. A good percentage of folks involved in those types of crashes suffer fatal injures.



That's why it's good news Hyundai’s 2015 Genesis sedan has become the first and only rear-wheel drive vehicle in its class to receive the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s (IIHS) highest honor as a 2014 Top Safety Pick+ when equipped with optional front crash prevention. Genesis is also the first rear-wheel drive luxury sedan to earn a Good rating in the small overlap crash test. (The all-wheel drive version also gets the same marks.)



The only problem is this safety comes at a price. The front crash safety prevention feature is only available after spending $7500 for the signature and option packages on the Genesis base model 3.8-liter engine. (The technology package is standard on the 5.0-liter model.) With delivery, you're paying $46,450 for the base model to be a Top Safety Pick+.
