The 2010 Genesis Sedan is tops in safety

Everyone enters their car-buying search with some particular need or want they look to their vehicle to satisfy. Probably the majority of car buyers look for value (e.g., affordable luxury large sedans such as Delray Beach used Hyundai Genesis models), while some look for attention to environmental concerns, style, prestige, speed, etc.

Perhaps the most successful car companies are the ones that identify the highly sought after and most important of these traits and make their cars indistinguishable from them. That said, it would seem Hyundai is closer and closer to becoming the manufacturer most identified with “safe” cars.

The 2010 Genesis Sedan was recently named a Top Safety Pick for large cars by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. This in addition to the 2011 Sonata being named a Top Safety Pick for midsize models, and Hyundai’s sister company, Kia, placing both the Forte and the Soul in the small car Top Safety Pick category.

To be considered for the award, the Genesis scored a top mark of Good in the four most common types of crashes (front, side, rear, and rollover), although it was not tested on the new roof-strength rating, which is applicable only to models made after January 2010 (the 2011 Sonata, for example).


Also required to be considered for the IIHS award, a vehicle must have electronic stability control (ESC), which comes standard on every Genesis. Delray Beach Hyundai dealers are eager to point out, that rear-wheel drive and the robust Hyundai 10-year/100,000 mile powertrain warranty also come standard. Yes, in Delray Beach, used Hyundai Genesis models are something of a rare sight, kind of like snow in the Sunshine State, you might say.

On top of the impressive safety features, other highlights of the 2010 Genesis Sedan include: heated leather seats (thought not a huge selling point for Delray Beach Hyundai dealers...but still), a state of the art sound system equipped with satellite radio and Bluetooth, and a 4.6-liter aluminum V-8 engine good for 375 hp and 333 lb/ft of torque. The 2010 Genesis with this engine can generally be expected to get 17/25 mpg. And finally, for those who have come upon the Genesis for safety, it’s worth noting the V-8 model includes five-star crash ratings in all areas. More and more, the experts seem to be branding Hyundai as the “safe” pick.
