Hyundai Has the Most Combined IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ and TOP SAFETY PICK Awards

PR Newswire

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., Dec. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The 2021 Hyundai Palisade SUV received a 2020 TOP SAFETY PICK+ (TSP+) award today from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). This designation now means Hyundai has most combined TSP+ and TOP SAFETY PICK (TSP)-rated vehicles in the automotive industry. Hyundai has 11 award-winning vehicles. Hyundai tied for top industry honors in Aug. and Feb. 2020 and was the leader in 2018.

"The IIHS continues to set a very high bar for Top Safety Pick awards," said Brian Latouf Chief Safety Officer, Hyundai Motor North America. "Performing well in these tests helps keep our customers and their families safe."

The Hyundai Palisade achieved its TSP+ rating by standardizing LED headlamps on all 2021 trim levels. All Hyundai SUV models still have TSP or TPS+ honors. When there is a model year change that improves the award from TSP to TSP+ then IIHS counts the models as two separate award winners.

Hyundai's TOP SAFETY PICK+/TOP SAFETY PICK award winning SUVs are:

1. Hyundai Venue SUV – TSP with specific headlights
2. Hyundai Kona SUV – TSP with optional front crash prevention and specific headlights
3. Hyundai Tucson SUV – TSP with optional front crash prevention and specific headlights
4. Hyundai Santa Fe SUV – TSP with specific headlights
5. Hyundai Nexo SUV – TSP+
6. Hyundai Palisade SUV – TSP+
