Eight Hyundai Vehicles are Named IIHS Top Safety Picks
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has just released its annual Top Safety Pick and Top Safety Pick + awards. Hyundai ranks as one of the safest brands on the road today with eight top safety picks (TSP) and top safety picks + (TSP+) awards across our growing lineup of vehicles. Hyundai’s current SUV products each hold a TSP or TSP+ rating designation when equipped with specific headlights. Additionally, of the eight Hyundai products awarded thus far for 2022, five include eco-friendly powertrain options. Here is the full list of Hyundai’s TSP and TSP+ vehicles:
2022 Elantra TOP SAFETY PICK with specific headlights
2022 Sonata TOP SAFETY PICK with specific headlights
2022 Venue TOP SAFETY PICK with specific headlights
2022 Palisade TOP SAFETY PICK+
2022 Santa Fe TOP SAFETY PICK+ built after July 2021
2022 Santa Cruz TOP SAFETY PICK with specific headlights
“As one of the leading automakers in safety designations by IIHS, this achievement represents a significant performance by our engineering and safety teams and further validates the laser-like focus that we have for the safety of our customers and all road users”
said Brian Latouf, chief safety officer, Hyundai Motor North America.
“We will continue on our journey for a world-class North American safety office, through our new Safety Test and Investigation Laboratory and child passenger educational safety efforts recently announced during the Chicago Auto Show.”
How do Vehicles Qualify for a TSP or TSP+ Award?
To qualify for an IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+, the higher of the Institute’s two awards, vehicles must earn good ratings in all six IIHS crash-worthiness evaluations, including the driver-side small overlap front, passenger-side small overlap front, moderate overlap front, side roof strength and head restraint tests. Additionally, vehicles must be available with a front crash prevention system that earns advanced or superior ratings in both the vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian evaluations and good or acceptable headlights must be standard across all trim levels.
