Hyundai Nabs Eight IIHS TSP, TSP+ Safety Awards

The Hyundai lineup features safety-conscious models equipped with advanced systems and tech designed to protect you and your passengers. Eight 2022 Hyundai models recently took home top awards — the Top Safety Pick+ and Top Safety Pick — from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. If safety is a priority in your new vehicle, the Hyundai lineup has something for you.

Top Safety Pick+ winners

The highest rating a vehicle can earn from the IIHS is the Top Safety Pick+ rating. Four 2022 Hyundai models took home this enviable rating — Tucson, Palisade, Santa Fe (models built after July 2021), and NEXO. They had to earn a score of “good” in all crash tests and their available vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian front crash prevention system had to rate as “advanced” or “superior.” Standard headlights must be rated as “good” or “acceptable.”

Top Safety Pick winners

Models that boast an IIHS Top Safety Pick still deliver impressive safety tech and performance in the agency’s crashworthiness tests. When equipped with specific headlights, four 2022 Hyundai models are worthy of the Top Safety Pick rating — Elantra, Sonata, Venue, and Santa Cruz.

“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.
