FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., Feb. 24, 2022 – #hyundai Motor America is one of the leaders in vehicle #safety, earning eight 2022 Insurance Institute for Highway #safety (IIHS) TOP #safety PICK and TOP #safety PICK+ awards. Hyundai’s current SUV products each hold a TSP or TSP+ rating designation when equipped with specific headlights and for the 2022 Santa Fe, built after July 2021. Additionally, of the eight #hyundai products awarded thus far for 2022, five include eco-friendly powertrain options. Parent company, #hyundai Motor Group (Hyundai, Kia and Genesis), leads the industry with the most awards in each category, when equipped with optional front crash protection and specific headlights — 11 TOP #safety PICK+ and 10 TOP #safety PICK awards for a total of 21.
“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.”
Hyundai products receiving 2022 #iihs TOP #safety PICK or TOP #safety PICK+ ratings include:
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

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.
The #iihs award criteria remain unchanged from last year, but, beginning in 2023, #iihs will add two new evaluations to the award requirements. For more information, visit IIHS.org.
