Hyundai: Safety is our Top Priority
We've made huge investments into making our vehicles the safest on the
road. So it's exciting to be recognized for outstanding safety by the
Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) Top Safety Pick:
To qualify for the 2013 Top Safety Pick+ award, vehicles must earn good ratings for occupant protection in at least 4 of 5 evaluations (moderate overlap front, small overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraint tests) and no less than acceptable in the fifth test.
To qualify for the 2013 Top Safety Pick award, vehicles must earn good ratings in the moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraint tests, regardless of their rating in the small overlap front test.
Models that earn Top Safety Pick+ or Top Safety Pick are the best vehicle choices for safety within size categories. Size and weight influence occupant protection in serious crashes. Larger, heavier vehicles generally afford more protection than smaller, lighter ones. Thus, a small car that's a Top Safety Pick+ or Top Safety Pick doesn't necessarily afford more protection than a bigger car that doesn't earn the award.
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) 5-Star Crash Safety Rating:
Government 5-Star Safety Ratings are part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA's) New Car Assessment Program (www.SaferCar.gov)
