Tiger Woods perhaps he would have been more seriously injured if he had driven anything else, because the SUV was the best in terms of safety.
Much attention has been paid to what kind of car Tiger was on Tuesday when he rolled over in Rancho Palos Verdes, and although it was a total … the 2021 Genesis GV80 contains all the bells and whistles of 21st century road safety depending on the model, you want to sell a car dealership from $ 47,000 to $ 60,000. It’s a good guess that Tiger’s was fully loaded.
The whip comes standard in the four-wheel drive … so the torque is sent to all four wheels instead of just 2, giving the driver more control on the road. It is assisted with a built-in electronic stability control and traction control system.
Perhaps the most important is what appears in it … namely ten standard airbags that turn the car into a cushion in case of an accident. There is also an extra airbag in the front of the center console, between driver and passenger.

BACKGROUND
Of the appearance of the aftermath, it looks like most of those airbags went down … something that almost certainly reduced the damage to Tiger’s body.
Granted, he’s still dealing with a gruesome leg injury – but it could have been so much worse.
Now, as cracked as the GV80 appeared yesterday … you can argue that the structure actually held up pretty well considering its impact. This is not a surprise once you know that it uses strong steel for the roof, transmission tunnel, extended chassis and parts of the rear structure.
With all this in mind … this machine might have been worth it. Of course, Tiger’s was a borrower, as Genesis was the title sponsor of the golf event that brought him to town.
