Hyundai Gets Most IIHS Top Safety Pick+ and Top Safety Pick Awards
There is an organization called the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) that does different tests on the safety of vehicles.

The vehicle needs to have a “Good” rating for driver side small overlap front, passenger side small overlap front, roof strength and head restraint, and moderate overlap front tests. You also need “Acceptable” or “Good” headlights available. The other criteria is an “Advanced” or “Superior” rating for front crash prevention.
