The Top Safety Picks: 2024 Hyundai Elantra and Tucson
Hyundai enthusiasts have a reason to celebrate as the 2024 Elantra and Tucson have secured the coveted TOP SAFETY PICK+ award from IIHS. This recognition is a testament to Hyundai’s dedication to creating vehicles that not only perform well on the road but also prioritize safety. To achieve the TOP SAFETY PICK+ award, a vehicle must excel in various tests. These include the driver-side small overlap front, passenger-side small overlap front, original moderate overlap front, and updated side tests. Additionally, standard headlights across all trims must earn an acceptable or good rating. A front crash prevention system, obtaining advanced or superior ratings in both daytime and nighttime vehicle-to-pedestrian evaluations, is also a prerequisite. Both the Elantra and Tucson meet and exceed these stringent criteria.
The TOP SAFETY PICK award sets a slightly lower bar, requiring an acceptable rating in the updated side test and an advanced or superior rating in the daytime vehicle-to-pedestrian test. The fact that both Hyundai models surpassed these criteria reinforces their commitment to providing exceptional safety features.
