Hyundai impresses with three new models in this publication, the all-electric IONIQ 5 and TUCSON, gaining 5-star ratings and Hyundai Bayon achieving 4 stars. Although the TUCSON only just clears the hurdle in Safety Assist to get into five-star territory, both IONIQ 5 and TUCSON display good all-round safety. The crossover SUV Bayon, fighting its way into an already overcrowded and highly competitive segment, lacks the centre airbag that is standard in IONIQ 5 and TUSCON. Nevertheless, the Bayon comes with robust crash protection and crash-avoidance features which help to secure it a creditable four-star rating.

Even before the first vehicles are delivered, the independent test organization Euro NCAP gives the Hyundai IONIQ 6 the top rating of 5 stars. Like the IONIQ 5, the latest model from Hyundai's electric sub-brand IONIQ meets the highest safety standards. The Hyundai IONIQ 6 performed excellently in the adult occupant, child and safety assistant categories.Like the IONIQ 5, the IONIQ 6 features the next level of Hyundai's advanced Smart Sense driver assistance systems. The Autobahn Assistant 2.0 helps to maintain a certain distance and speed to the vehicle in front on the Autobahn and to keep the Hyundai IONIQ 6 in lane, even on winding roads. If the vehicle comes too close to one side of the road, the system puts the vehicle back in the right lane by correcting the steering. When the indicator is activated, Autobahn Assistant 2.0 automatically initiates the lane change intended by the driver.The other functions range from the autonomous emergency brake assistant with pedestrian and cyclist detection as well as turning and crossing functions, intelligent traffic sign recognition, which adapts the vehicle speed to the speed limit, the active blind spot assistant, the attention assistant to the exit assistant, which warns rear passengers by sounding an alarm, when an occupant in the back seat tries to open their door even though a vehicle is approaching from behind.More about this source textSource text required for additional translation informationSend feedbackSide panels
Hyundai's IONIQ 6 Electrified Streamliner has received the top rating from the independent vehicle assessment organisation European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP). The newest model in Hyundai’s IONIQ line-up brand joins IONIQ 5 in delivering the highest safety standards and achieving the maximum five-star EURO NCAP rating.Vehicles undergoing Euro NCAP’s safety test are evaluated in four categories: ‘Adult Occupant’, ‘Child Occupant’, ‘Vulnerable Road User’ and ‘Safety Assist’. The five-star-rated Hyundai IONIQ 6 excelled in the ‘Adult Occupant’, ‘Child Occupant’ and ‘Safety Assist’ categories.As well as seven airbags as standard, IONIQ 6 is equipped with the next level of Hyundai SmartSense Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, ensuring safety and convenience on the road. These include Highway Driving Assist 2 (HDA 2), which helps to maintain a set distance and speed from the vehicle ahead when driving on a highway and helps to centre the vehicle in the lane while driving, even through a corner.
The third generation Hyundai i20 shares the 2021 four star rating of the closely-related BAYON.
July 2022 sees the introduction of new vehicle safety legislation, mandating the fitment of important safety systems such as autonomous braking and speed assistance on new vehicle types. And it will be a busy one for Euro NCAP too, in its 25th year, with many cars lined up for testing and with plans for a new roadmap to set the course for safety for the next decade.In the meantime, car manufacturers continue to recognise the value which consumers and fleet operators place on a good Euro NCAP rating. Volkswagen gave the popular Polo a solid facelift, which, in addition to extra style, especially added more technology. Thanks to the addition of new centre airbags and more capable crash avoidance systems, the facelifted Polo cleared the hurdle for a 2022 five-star rating.
