On Wednesday, December 22, 2010 the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety released the list of vehicles to earn a “Top Safety Pick” award for 2011. Hyundai/Kia leads the pack with 9 winners across several automobile models. The Hyundai vehicles receiving this prestigious honor are the Genesis, Sonata, Santa Fe, and Tucson.
IIHS ratings help the consumer to pick vehicles that have more protection than federal safety standards mandate. Winners of the award are based on crash test ratings, and must have electronic stability control available. Each vehicle is rated on front, side, rollover, and rear crashes. Electronic stability control helps drivers to maneuver the vehicle in order to reduce the risk of crashes.
According to the IIHS, “More than 12,000 people died in frontal crashes of passenger vehicles in 2009 in the United States, more than 6,000 died in side impacts, and more than 8,000 died in rollovers, many of which also involved a front or side impact.” As a result of these accidents, Hyundai has improved the 2011 Tucson with a much stronger roof to reduce the risk of injury in rollovers. Improvements have also been made to the roofs of the Santa Fe, and the redesigned Sonata. Vehicles that are rated as good in rollover protection have at least double the strength of current federal safety standards.
We are particularly proud of the redesigned Sonata which also received the highest rating of 5 stars in the government’s crash test ratings. The Sonata is now "in a safety position unsurpassed in the industry," said John Krafcik, president and CEO of Hyundai Motor America.
A complete list of the 66 vehicles of 2011 “Top Safety Pick” award can be found at the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety website.
