How Safe Are Hyundais? 2025 Safety Ratings And Awards
Society’s idea of “safety” has evolved quite drastically over the years, as it should. We began with no seatbelts, no airbags, and no doors. It was a nightmare, but we fixed it, and we continue to fix these faults as they arise. Hyundai is a brand that pays attention to current safety standards and continues to innovate ways to create the safest vehicles on the market. We’re here to showcase this accomplishment with an overview of Hyundai's safety ratings and awards for 2025.

The IIHS Upped Their Standards, And Hyundai Still Delivered
As we mentioned, safety standards continue to rise with the times. The Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (IIHS) is a living testament to these standards, setting the bar for automakers to meet with every new vehicle. This bar is known as the Top Safety Pick and Top Safety Pick+ awards. Hyundai managed to earn 12 of these accolades just this year.
What makes this year so special? The IIHS has increased its standards, meaning that automakers need to work extra hard for their vehicles to make the cut. That also means Hyundai pushed through to deliver safer cars to their beloved drivers like those in Cleveland.
What Did the IIHS Update For 2025?Crash test ratings now call for added protection for second-row passengers, advanced seat belt technologies, and more stringent testing methods to set a higher benchmark. |
