Hyundai announced that the United States-spec Ioniq 6 has been awarded the Top Safety Pick+ (TSP+) rating by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
According to the Korean automotive marque, its electric vehicle received highest rating — which reinforces its commitment to driver and pedestrian safety.
“At Hyundai, ensuring customer safety is foundational to our brand and at the center of what we do. We believe in providing customers with a safe experience while on their journey. Through our extensive development in safety engineering and technology integration, we are able to meet the stringent TSP+ testing requirements recently instituted by IIHS. We are extremely proud that the 2023 Ioniq 6 has achieved such a significant safety accolade as doing so furthers Hyundai’s pursuit of industry leadership in IIHS awards,” said Hyundai Motor Company Global Chief Safety Officer Brian Latouf.
The Hyundai Ioniq 6 received a “Good” grade on all four crashworthiness tests by IIHS. These tests are the small overlap front: driver-side, small overlap front: passenger-side, moderate overlap front: original test, and side: updated test. It also received the same score in the seat belt reminders test.
Meanwhile, the Hyundai Ioniq 6 garnered a “Superior” rating in the day and night tests for the front crash prevention: vehicle-to-pedestrian evaluations while it earned an “Acceptable” grade in the headlights and (LATCH Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) tests.
“It’s exciting to see the Ioniq 6, Hyundai’s newest electric vehicle, obtain the highest level of safety. 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,” noted IIHS President David Harkey.
