2018 Genesis G80
Two more Hyundai-family cars are on the safest cars list with the Genesis nameplate. The 2018 Genesis G80 has fantastic value and will definitely leave you flabbergasted at its standard content. Its base equipment is almost good enough to capture the 2018 IIHS Top Safety Pick Plus rating on its own, but falls short in one area.
To move from a Top Safety Pick to a ‘Plus’ rating, the Genesis G80 needs to add its available LED headlights. That’s easy enough, because they’re included in the 3.3T Sport trim and the Ultimate package with the 3.8L and 5.0L models.
2018 Lexus RC
The only coupe on the list is the Lexus RC. You’d expect it from Lexus too, but it’s a shock that only the RC makes the cut. After all, the car company is known as one of the safest on the road today.
The 2018 Lexus RC has standard Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Protection, which meets the front collision criteria. But the RC must also be equipped with the lesser headlight option, surprisingly, albeit still LED headlamps. The triple-beam LED headlamps aren’t as good in the rankings.
2018 Genesis G90
The only car on this safest cars list that qualifies with every trim level, no matter what, is the 2018 Genesis G90. Granted, it’s a luxury car with more options than you can shake a stick at. That doesn’t change the fact that it’s probably the best on the list overall.
LED Dynamic Bending Light Headlights, standard front collision avoidance features, and an impeccable cabin safety record make the Genesis G90 absolutely among the safest cars on the road.
