The 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe and 2024 Sonata have received a TOP SAFETY PICK designation and the Hyundai IONIQ 5 has been upgraded to a TOP SAFETY PICK+ by the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety, (IIHS). The 2024 IONIQ 5 achieved the highest-safety rating, TSP+ due to advancements with rear occupant safety to address the new (ODB 2.0), Offset Deformable crashworthiness evaluation with rear occupant added to the TSP+ requirement.

Additional Hyundai products previously awarded 2024 IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK or TOP SAFETY PICK+ ratings include:
2024 IONIQ 6 TOP SAFETY PICK+
2024 Kona TOP SAFETY PICK+

2024 Elantra TOP SAFETY PICK

"As Hyundai continues to sustain leadership in the IIHS TSP award designations, we are proud to have two additional new products recognized including a mid-size SUV and a sedan, said Cole Stutz, chief safety officer, Hyundai Motor North America. "At Hyundai, we are committed to reducing traffic fatalities by providing safe vehicles to protect customers on their daily commutes."

The focus of the IIHS TSP evaluation is to prevent fatalities on roadways and protect occupants. IIHS announced more strict testing criteria to further protect back seat passengers and improve pedestrian crash avoidance systems. Hyundai stepped-up to the IIHS challenge for tougher testing guidelines by instituting several testing improvements including enhanced side structure, advanced seat belts for rear seat occupants and SmartSense safety features such as Forward Collision Avoidance Assist (with pedestrian detection), Lane Departure and Driver Assist Warnings as standard across the Hyundai product lineup.

According to IIHS, "The standard front crash prevention systems on the Santa Fe and Sonata both earn good ratings for pedestrian crash avoidance, while the system included with the IONIQ 5 is rated acceptable." Additionally, the IONIQ 5 was previously announced as a TOP SAFETY PICK winner before the results of the updated moderate overlap test were available.

To qualify for an IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK, vehicles must earn a good rating in the small overlap front, original moderate overlap front and updated side tests. While the higher of the Institute's two awards, TOP SAFETY PICK+, a vehicle must earn good ratings in the small overlap front, updated side tests and no less than an acceptable rating for the updated moderate front crash test. Both, TSP/TSP+ awards must also earn an acceptable or good rating for pedestrian front crash prevention and come with acceptable or good rated headlights equipped on all trim levels.

Tesla must face vehicle owners' lawsuit over self-driving claims
A U.S. judge on Wednesday rejected Tesla's bid to dismiss a lawsuit accusing Elon Musk's electric car company of misleading owners into believing that their vehicles could soon have self-driving capabilities. The proposed nationwide class action accused Tesla and Musk of having since 2016 falsely advertised Autopilot and other self-driving technology as functional or "just around the corner," inducing drivers to pay more for their vehicles. U.S. District Judge Rita Lin in San Francisco said owners could pursue negligence and fraud-based claims, to the extent they relied on Tesla's representations regarding vehicles' hardware and ability to drive coast-to-coast across the U.S.
