Compare the2024 Ford Mustang Mach-EVS 2024 Genesis Electrified G80

With its standard Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, the Ford Mustang Mach-E is better at preventing collisions with pedestrians than the Genesis Electrified G80, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety:

The Mustang Mach-E has standard Post Collision Braking, which automatically apply the brakes in the event of a crash to help prevent secondary collisions and prevent further injuries. The Electrified G80 doesn’t offer a post collision braking system: in the event of a collision that triggers the airbags, more collisions are possible without the protection of airbags that may have already deployed.

Both the Mustang Mach-E and the Electrified G80 have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front and rear side-impact airbags, driver knee airbags, side-impact head airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, height adjustable front shoulder belts, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, daytime running lights, lane departure warning systems, blind spot warning systems, rearview cameras, rear cross-path warning and driver alert monitors.

Side impacts caused 23% of all road fatalities in 2018, down from 29% in 2003, when the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety introduced its side barrier test. In order to continue improving vehicle safety, the IIHS has started using a more severe side impact test: 37 MPH (up from 31 MPH), with a 4180-pound barrier (up from 3300 pounds). The results of this newly developed test demonstrates that the Ford Mustang Mach-E is safer than the Electrified G80:

There are over 12 times as many Ford dealers as there are Genesis dealers, which makes it much easier should you ever need service under the Mustang Mach-E’s warranty.

The Mustang Mach-E GT Performance/Rally’s standard electric motors produces 115 more horsepower (480 vs. 365) and 184 lbs.-ft. more torque (700 vs. 516) than the Electrified G80’s electric motors.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Mustang Mach-E GT has standard 20-inch wheels. The Electrified G80’s largest wheels are only 19-inches.

The Mustang Mach-E GT handles at .92 G’s, while the Electrified G80 pulls only .90 G’s of cornering force in a Car and Driver skidpad test.

The Ford Mustang Mach-E may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs about 100 to 650 pounds less than the Genesis Electrified G80.

The Mustang Mach-E Select/Premium is 11.4 inches shorter than the Electrified G80, making the Mustang Mach-E easier to handle, maneuver and park in tight spaces.

The front grille of the Mustang Mach-E uses electronically controlled shutters to close off airflow and reduce drag when less engine cooling is needed. This helps improve highway fuel economy. The Electrified G80 doesn’t offer active grille shutters.

The Mustang Mach-E has 1.2 inches more front legroom, 1.6 inches more rear headroom and 2.2 inches more rear legroom than the Electrified G80.

To improve rear visibility by keeping the rear window clear, the Mustang Mach-E has a standard rear wiper. The Electrified G80 doesn’t offer a rear wiper.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) conducts detailed tests on headlights for their range both straight ahead and in curves and to be certain they don’t exceed acceptable amounts of glare to oncoming drivers. The Mustang Mach-E’s available headlights were rated “Good” by the IIHS, while the Electrified G80’s headlights are rated “Acceptable.”
