Compare the2025 Genesis Electrified GV70VS 2025 GMC Hummer EV SUV

For enhanced safety, the front and rear seat shoulder belts of the Genesis Electrified GV70 have pretensioners to tighten the seatbelts and eliminate dangerous slack in the event of a collision and force limiters to limit the pressure the belts will exert on the passengers.
