For decades, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has been instrumental in helping to prevent injuries and fatalities resulting from car crashes. One way they do this is by rating vehicle safety. The organization recently toughened the criteria for its Top Safety Pick and Top Safety Pick+ awards, with a focus on vehicles that better identify and avoid pedestrians and better protect passengers in the event of an accident. Keyes Hyundai highlights two new Hyundai models that received the coveted IIHS Top Safety Pick+.
2024 Hyundai IONIQ 6
The 2024 Hyundai IONIQ 6 is a premier electric vehicle for several reasons. It provides a comfortable ride, has ample advanced technology, and offers a fantastic driving range. It is also a car that will help keep you safe. Every model comes with these Hyundai SmartSense® systems:
- Blind-spot monitoring
- Rear cross-traffic alert
- Forward collision warning
- Forward automatic emergency braking
- Pedestrian and cyclist detection
- Driver-attention monitoring
- Stop-and-go adaptive cruise control
- Lane-keeping assist
- Lane departure warning
- Front and rear parking sensors
2024 Hyundai Kona
In the subcompact SUV class, the 2024 Hyundai Kona shines. It has a big cabin, gets excellent gas mileage, and is fun to drive. It, too, was awarded a Top Safety Pick+ from the IIHS. It comes with most of the same safety features found in the Hyundai IONIQ 6. Several more can be added, including highway driving assist, a surround-view camera system, and remote smart parking assist.
