Recently, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (hereinafter referred to as IIHS) announced the results of the collision selection, of which 10 models of the Hyundai Motor Group won the "TSP (TOP SAFETY PICK) award" and 11 models won the "TSP+ (TOP SAFETY PICK PLUS) award" award.
The American Highway Safety Insurance Association (IIHS) is one of the most authoritative automotive safety research institutions in the U.S. market. Every year, a comprehensive assessment of the vehicle's crash stability performance and crash prevention performance is carried out and a list of the safest models is published. There are two categories: "TSP "TOP SAFETY PICK" and "TSP+ (TOP SAFETY PICK PLUS)".
During the test, it is necessary to conduct safety crash tests on six items: small overlapping frontal collision on the driver's side, small overlapping frontal collision on the passenger side, moderate overlapping frontal collision, side collision, roof strength, and headrest/seat, and the test results can be evaluated as "Excellent (good)" at the highest level before they can win the "TSP (Best Safety Choice)" and "TSP+ (Top Safety Choice)" awards.
In addition, participating models must achieve a score of "advanced" or above in the forward collision avoidance system test (vehicle and vehicle/vehicle and pedestrian). At the same time, IIHS also makes the performance of vehicle headlights an important evaluation item. During the investigation, the staff found that most of the traffic accidents that occurred at night were caused by insufficient illumination range of headlights or glare from the headlights of oncoming vehicles, resulting in the driver being unable to see the road clearly. Therefore, IIHS will strictly consider the lighting system and related functions of the model, and the headlights of the winning models of "TOP SAFETY PICK" must have an "excellent" or "good" evaluation, and all models with "excellent" or "good" headlights will be given a "+" evaluation.
A total of 101 models were selected for the IIHS Awards this year, of which 36 models won the "TSP (Best Safety Choice)" award and 65 models won the "TSP+ (Top Safety Choice)". Hyundai Motor Group has a total of 21 models on the list, accounting for more than 20% of the winners, and the total number of winning models ranks first among the global automotive groups.
Among them, Hyundai Motors has 8 models, namely Tucson, Shengda, Paristi, NEXO, Elantra, Sonata, Venue, Santa Cruise; Kia has 8 models, namely K5, Stinger, Soul, Seltos, Sportage, Sorento, Telluride, Andrre; Genesis has 5 models, namely G70, G80, G90, GV70, GV80。
