FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., May 17, 2016 – The 2017 #hyundai #santafe Sport when equipped with optional front crash prevention, has earned the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s (IIHS) TOP #safety PICK+ award today for achieving a high level of #safety standards. The #santafe Sport received good ratings in the institute’s moderate overlap front, small overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraints tests. #santafe Sport’s optional Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) with Pedestrian Detection also earned a superior rating.

TOP #safety PICK+ is the institute’s highest award. To achieve a Top #safety Pick+ designation, a vehicle must have a good rating in the five occupant protection tests and an advanced or superior rating for an available front crash prevention system.

“The #santafe Sport’s optional front crash prevention system earns a superior rating,” said David Zuby, IIHS chief research officer. “The #santafe Sport avoided collisions in IIHS track tests at 12 mph and 25 mph. The system also has a forward collision warning component that meets the NHTSA criteria.”

“We are thrilled that #santafe Sport has achieved the gold standard for CUV #safety from IIHS and NHTSA,” said Mike O’Brien, vice president, #corporate and #product planning, #hyundai Motor America. “These awards underline our commitment to developing advanced technologies that assist in avoiding crashes all together. A class-leading body structure protects occupants if a collision does occur.”


Santa Fe Sport #safety Features

Standard #safety equipment on the 2017 #santafe lineup includes: Vehicle Stability Management (VSM) with Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Traction Control System; seven airbags, including a driver’s knee airbag; four-wheel disc brakes and ABS with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist; Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) with Downhill Brake Control (DBC); and a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).

AEB uses both the forward-facing radar and camera, through sensor fusion, to detect a vehicle or pedestrian, and warns the driver of a potential collision. If the driver does not react to avoid the impact, the system will apply emergency braking.
