Hyundai’s award-winning 2023 IONIQ 6 electric vehicle has been awarded a\u00a0TOP SAFETY PICK+<\/em>\u00a0(TSP+) designation from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).<\/strong><\/p>\n

The IONIQ 6 was recognised for meeting the more stringent IIHS crash-worthiness evaluations and front-crash prevention systems designed to protect pedestrians during the day and at night. This latest accomplishment reinforces Hyundai<\/a>‘s commitment to driver and pedestrian safety<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“At Hyundai<\/a>, ensuring customer safety is foundational to our brand and central to what we do,” said Brian Latouf, global chief safety officer of Hyundai Motor Company<\/a>. “We believe in providing customers with a safe experience while on their journey. Our extensive development in safety engineering and technology integration allows us to meet the stringent TSP+ testing requirements recently instituted by IIHS. We are extremely proud that the 2023 IONIQ 6<\/a> has achieved such a significant safety accolade as doing so furthers Hyundai<\/a>‘s pursuit of industry leadership in IIHS awards.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

To qualify for\u00a0TOP SAFETY PICK+<\/em> in 2023, a vehicle must earn good ratings in the driver-side small overlap front, passenger-side small overlap front, original moderate overlap front and updated side tests. “Acceptable” or “Good” headlights must be standard across all trims, and a front-crash prevention system that earns “Advanced” or “Superior” ratings in both the daytime and nighttime vehicle-to-pedestrian evaluations must be available.<\/p>\n

For the lower-tier\u00a0TOP SAFETY PICK<\/em> award, an “Acceptable” rating in the updated side test is enough, and vehicles need to demonstrate “Advanced” or “Superior” performance only in the daytime pedestrian test.<\/p>\n

“It’s exciting to see the IONIQ 6<\/a>, Hyundai<\/a>‘s newest electric vehicle, obtain the highest level of safety,” said David Harkey, president of IIHS. “Making sure safety continues to be a priority in alternatively powered vehicles is critical if we are going to achieve the vision of zero traffic fatalities.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
