Hyundai ties for most combined IIHS Top Safety Pick awards

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) announced that Hyundai tied for the most combined Top Safety Pick+ (TSP+) and Top Safety Pick (TSP)-rated vehicles in the automotive industry. Hyundai has 10 award-winning vehicles. Hyundai also tied for top honours in February 2020.

The Hyundai Venue SUV has been awarded a 2020 TSP rating when equipped with optional LED head lights, which are available on SEL trim with Premium Package and top-of-the-line Denim model.

The Venue is Hyundai's 10^th vehicle and its sixth SUV to receive a top safety rating. As a result, now all Hyundai SUV models have TSP or TPS+ honours. The addition of the Venue's designation ties Hyundai as the brand with the most TSPs in the industry.

To achieve a 2020 IIHS TSP award, the Venue earned good ratings in the driver-side small overlap front, passenger-side small overlap front, moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraint tests. It also achieved a superior rating for available vehicle-to-vehicle front crash prevention.

The Venue SEL trim with Premium Package received an advanced rating during its vehicle-to-pedestrian prevention evaluation, and the Venue Denim trim earned a superior score for its vehicle-to-pedestrian prevention system. The Venue also has acceptable rated head lights available. The TSP rating only applies to SEL trim with Premium Package and Denim trims that come with LED head lights.
