Hyundai Motor Group has the most Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) 2021 TOP SAFETY PICK (TSP) and TOP SAFETY PICK+ (TSP+) awarded vehicles of any auto manufacturer in the industry.
Hyundai Motor Group has 17 award-winning vehicles between its brands, among which Hyundai branded models earned 7. The Hyundai brand tied for top industry brand honors in Aug. and Feb. 2020 and was the leader in 2018.
A high level of cross-functional execution put Hyundai Motor Group in an advantageous position for so many of our models to achieve these results, despite having a smaller model lineup than some of the competitors.
Both TSP and TSP+ awards require “Good” ratings in all six IIHS crashworthiness tests — driver- and passenger-side small overlap front, moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraints.
Award winners must be available with front crash prevention technology that earns a “Superior” or “Advanced” rating in both vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian evaluations. TOP SAFETY PICK winners must also be available with “Good” or “Acceptable” headlights. The “plus” designation is given to models that have “Good” or “Acceptable” headlights across all trim levels and packages.
“To protect the safety of our customers is part of our culture,” said Brian Latouf Chief Safety Officer, Hyundai Motor North America. “We are very happy with these results and want to continuously improve in these very severe tests.”
