As an owner of a GV80, I can say it's a phenomenal vehicle with a ton of safety features. I have no idea what caused his injuries, but if I had to guess, it would be the engine pushing into the cabin.
There is nothing unusual that I can tell about the console that would cause problems that wouldn't occur in any other similar sized SUV.
What I can also say is that the the lane keep assist may be an accident waiting to happen. It will sometimes pull quickly to the right when the lines in the road change, i.e. when a new lane to the right comes up. If you're not completely paying attention, you could easily drive off into the ditch when that lane is short. It almost happened to me when I was on the initial test drive. I now only use that feature on the highway.
