Two Large Luxury Cars Earn 2010 Top Safety Pick Award

The Hyundai Genesis and the redesigned Mercedes E class, both large luxury cars, earn 2010 Top Safety Pick awards from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

The award recognizes the vehicles that earn the top rating of good for front, side, rollover, and rear crash protection, and that have electronic stability control, which is standard on both of these cars.

The Genesis was introduced in the 2009 model year. During the 2010 model year, Hyundai made changes to the roof structure to improve protection in rollover crashes. The Top Safety Pick award applies to Genesis models built after January 2010.

The E class was redesigned for the 2010 model year. This is the first time the E class has earned the unstitute’s top safety designation. Earlier this year design changes were made to the padding in the front and rear doors to improve protection in side impact crashes. The Top Safety Pick award applies to E class models built after March 2010.
