It is the third Hyundai Motor Group vehicle based on the E-GMP electric architecture to receive a five-star rating under the latest criteria, alongside the related Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6.

Maximum points were awarded for the lower leg impact tests for pedestrians, however, ANCAP expresses concern for upper leg impacts, with the GVg0 receiving a 'poor' mark at 0.45 out of six points.

Standard safety equipment includes; autonomous emergency braking with junction assist, lane departure warning, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear-cross traffic alert, and adaptive cruise control with a speed limiter.

This allowed it to receive a safety assist score of 88 per cent (14.22 out of 16 points), with top marks (2 out of 2 points) for its junction AEB system, which can detect a vehicle entering the road from the side and apply the brakes to prevent a collision.

Eight airbags (dual frontal, side head, side chest, driver's knee and centre) are fitted as standard.

The centre airbag is designed to prevent head clashes between the driver and front passenger in a collision.

ANCAP has also released results for the Tesla Model Y and Kia Niro this week, with all vehicles scoring a maximum five-star safety rating.
