What are the crash test results for the Elantra?
2 Answers
From the crash test results, the all-new Hyundai Elantra (overseas version) achieved excellent (G) ratings in various tests, including 25% small overlap front crash (both driver and passenger sides), 40% moderate overlap front crash, side impact, roof strength, and head restraints/seats. The details are as follows: 1. Results Announcement: Recently, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) released the crash test results for the U.S. version of the all-new Hyundai Elantra (overseas version). The vehicle performed exceptionally well in crash tests, earning an overall "Top Safety Pick" rating. However, the base model, equipped with halogen headlights, showed poor lighting performance, which slightly impacted the overall score. 2. Front Crash Prevention: The vehicle's front crash prevention system also achieved a good score in the tests, but the child safety seat only received an "Acceptable" (A) rating. In the headlight illumination evaluation, the base model's halogen headlights exhibited noticeable insufficient lighting, resulting in the lowest "P" rating.
I just bought an Elantra, and its crash test results are a major highlight of its safety performance. The U.S. IIHS awarded it the Top Safety Pick+ highest rating, with all tests including small overlap front, side, and roof strength receiving 'Good' ratings, and the dummies showing very low injury risk in collisions. The NHTSA gave it an overall five-star rating, with near-perfect scores in frontal and side impact tests. This is thanks to its high-strength body frame and multiple airbag systems, which effectively absorb impact and protect passengers. As an owner, I feel very reassured, especially when driving at high speeds without worrying about sudden incidents. Hyundai is continuously upgrading safety technologies, like smart brake assist, to further reduce accident risks. When buying a car, don’t just look at the price—safety test reports are worth taking the time to check.
