Safety is one of the most important features in a new car today. Drivers expect their vehicle to protect them in the event of an accident. They also expect their vehicles to be proactive — sensing unforeseen accidents and preventing them from occurring. The expectation for safety is especially pronounced in SUVs. Many drivers choose to drive an SUV to accommodate a greater number of passengers or a growing family. This added responsibility necessitates greater safety.

Hyundai is well-aware of the safety expectations placed upon SUVs, so the manufacturer has optimized its SUV lineup to be as safe as possible. In fact, every 2022 Hyundai SUV has been named an IIHS Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick+, indicating critical recognition of Hyundai’s superior safety features. Hyundai, together with its sister company Genesis, has the greatest number of 2022 Top Safety Picks of any car manufacturer. If you are thinking of purchasing a safe vehicle, it would be wise to think first of a Hyundai.

What is IIHS Judging?
IIHS primarily considers design features when giving out safety ratings. To qualify for a Top Safety Pick rating, a vehicle must receive a good rating in IIHS’ six crash-worthiness evaluations. IIHS evaluates the vehicle in the driver-side small overlap front, passenger-side small overlap front, moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraint. This ensures that the vehicle is properly designed to protect drivers in case of an accident. IIHS also evaluates vehicles based upon front crash prevention ratings — both in vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian collisions. Finally, a Top Safety Pick vehicle will make acceptable or good headlights available, while a Top Safety Pick+ vehicle will offer those headlights standard.

What else do Hyundai SUVs have to offer?
All Hyundai SUVs have done well to offer the above crash safety features. Yet, there is much more which Hyundai has to offer drivers in the safety department. Hyundai SmartSense Technology is Hyundai’s full host of driver safety and assistance technologies. These technologies make driving easier, safer and more enjoyable. If you’re driving on the highway, Highway Driving Assist serves as your co-pilot, engaging Smart Cruise Control and Lane Following Assist to make the experience nearly effortless. Cameras on Hyundai SUVs give drivers real-time pictures of their blindspots, rear views and their surroundings. Finally, parking assist makes pulling into tight spaces easier and safer than before.
