Compare the2026 Toyota C-HR VS 2027 Genesis GV60

The Toyota C-HR has standard driver and front passenger side knee airbags mounted low on the dashboard. These airbags help prevent the driver and front passenger from sliding under their seatbelts or the main frontal airbags; this keeps them better positioned during a collision for maximum protection. Knee airbags also help keep the legs from striking the dashboard, preventing knee and leg injuries in the case of a serious frontal collision. The GV60 doesn’t offer a front passenger side knee airbag.

In a Vehicle-to-Vehicle Frontal Crash Prevention 2.0 test conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), the Toyota C-HR achieved a “Good” rating - the highest possible - in forward collision warning and automatic braking systems, outperforming the Genesis GV60, which scored only an “Acceptable” in these critical safety features.
