2015 Hyundai Genesis: Five-Star Scores, The Safest Car On The Market?

Is the 2015 Hyundai Genesis Sedan one of the safest sedans on the market?

Going by currently available crash-test results and safety ratings, it's one of the safest picks among roomy sedans, that's for sure. The federal government has crash-tested the 2015 Hyundai Genesis Sedan and released a full set of NCAP ratings—and the Genesis Sedan has a flush of five-star ratings.

The all-new Genesis Sedan earns the top five-star rating for frontal, side crash, and rollover categories—and in nearly all subcategories, including the side pole test, which simulates a 20-mph sideways collision with a utility pole or tree. The only exception where the Genesis earned four stars, rather than five, in the government's subcategories was for driver front-seat protection, in the 38.5-mph side barrier test.

The Genesis Sedan has already earned top-tier scores from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), with the best 'good' results even in the tough small overlap frontal category.
