They say actions speak louder than words, so while Hyundai has always been committed to getting you and your loved ones where you need to go as safely as possible, the best way to show that commitment is with the cars it builds.
As it turns out, Hyundai is doing just that, and the 2016 Hyundai Tucson and 2016 Sonata are leading the charge. That’s because both models recently earned the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s (IIHS) 2015 TOP SAFETY PICK+ award.
For those of you that may not know, the IIHS rates vehicles for occupant protection based on rigorous tests in five different categories: moderate overlap front, small overlap front, side, roof strength, and head restraints.
In order to earn the 2015 TOP SAFETY PICK+ award, winners must get good ratings in the moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraint tests, as well as a good or acceptable rating in the small overlap front test. Vehicles also need an available front crash prevention system with an advanced or superior rating.
In addition to its outstanding style, comfort, and efficiency, the 2016 Tucson is available with a number of advanced safety technologies designed to ensure your safety every mile of every drive.
These available technologies include AEB with pedestrian detection, Lane Departure Warning System, Blind Spot Detection, Rear Cross-traffic Alert, Lane Change Assist, Backup Warning Sensors, and a standard rearview camera.
Contributing to the 2016 Tucson’s award-winning safety is high-strength steel. The advanced material represents over 50 percent of the vehicle’s structure that adds an extra dimension of safety all drivers will appreciate.
The 2016 Hyundai Sonata also delivers a compelling (and award-winning) level of safety. In addition to its impressive list of standard safety features, which includes highlights such as Vehicle Stability Management (VSM), seven airbags, and ABS with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), the 2016 Sonata is also available with advanced safety technologies, including Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Smart Cruise Control with spot/start capability, Rear Parking Sensors, Blind Spot Detection (BSD) with Rear Cross-traffic Alert and Lane Change Assist and Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
