Awarding the Elantra and Santa Fe
When equipped with specific headlights, both the 2021 Hyundai Elantra and Santa Fe are 2021 TOP SAFETY PICKS. They are the eighth and ninth vehicles respectively to receive a 2021 TSP or TSP+ rating for Hyundai. With great safety features, the Elantra and Santa Fe give you the peace of mind when you’re on the road.
IIHS Standards
Brian Latouf, the Chief Safety Office of Hyundai Motor North America, said of the IIHS awards, “These top ratings prove our commitment to safety. Being an industry leader in safety and IIHS accolades is foundational to our brand, and we continually strive to provide outstanding passenger safety to our customers.”
The IIHS is a private nonprofit organization funded by automobile insurance companies and insurance organizations. It’s mission is to “reduce losses from motor vehicle crashes”. They do so by reviewing deaths, injuries, and property damage that results from motor vehicle crashes, as well as by researching and reporting on crashworthiness, crash avoidance, and roadway design.
IIHS determines the Top Safety Pick and Top Safety Pick+ award winners through several stringent safety crash tests. TSP+ winners undergo even stricter tests. These tests include:
- Driver’s Side Small Overlap Front crash test
- Passenger Side Small Overlap Front crash test
- Moderate Overlap Front crash test
- Side Impact crash test
- Head Restraints tests
- Front Crash Prevention Systems test
- Headlight Rating test
