Is the 2026 Genesis GV70 a Safe SUV for Families?
There are safe SUVs. And then there’s the 2026 Genesis GV70—a luxury crossover that doesn’t just meet the mark for family safety but raises it with confidence and undeniable attention to real-world needs. In the Columbus area, this is the kind of SUV you need to protect what matters most.
An Impressive Suite of Standard Safety Features
Right out of the gate, every 2026 GV70 includes a full suite of advanced safety features—no premium trim needed. You’ll get:
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with pedestrian detection and automatic emergency braking.
- Lane Keeping and Lane Following Assist to help keep you centered and aware.
- Blind-Spot View Monitor that displays a real-time camera feed in your gauge cluster.
- Rear Cross-Traffic Alert to help with crowded lots in Dublin or anywhere else your family life takes you.
But that’s just the beginning. The GV70 is also equipped with Forward Attention Warning, which watches the driver’s behavior and suggests breaks if it senses fatigue or distraction. Add in multiple airbags, a rigid safety cage, and excellent visibility, and you’ve got a vehicle that thinks ahead, always working hard to keep you and your family safe.
Tested and Trusted
In crash testing by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), the GV70 delivers top scores. In fact, this family SUV was named as one of the IIHS Top Safety Pick+ models just last year. Here’s how the ratings stack up:
- Good in moderate and small overlap front crash tests.
- Good in the new, tougher side impact test.
- Good vehicle-to-pedestrian front crash prevention.
Particularly notable are updates made for 2026 that improve rear seatbelt function and passenger protection—areas that many automakers overlook. The GV70 doesn’t.
Family-Centered Convenience
Safety isn’t just about surviving a collision—it’s about preventing one in the first place, making every trip less stressful. The 2026 GV70 comes packed with smart tools that make everyday life easier, including:
- Rear Occupant Alert so no child or pet is accidentally left behind.
- Surround View Monitor for a 360° view when pulling into tight spaces near Powell or Groveport.
- Hands-free power liftgate for stroller juggling or grocery hauls.
- Remote Smart Parking Assist, which literally parks itself while you watch from the curb.
You’ll also find rear-seat USB ports, available heated rear seats, and child-lock systems designed for both ease and peace of mind.
