Hyundai 2024 Elantra and Tucson Earn TOP SAFETY PICK+!🥇🦺

Hyundai's 2024 Elantra and Tucson have achieved the highest safety recognition, the TOP SAFETY PICK+ (TSP+) award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). These accolades signify the vehicles' excellence in crash-worthiness evaluations and advanced front-crash prevention systems, demonstrating Hyundai's commitment to evolving safety standards.

Brian Latouf, Global Chief Safety Officer, expressed pride in enhancing safety engineering for popular models, leading to a total of five TSP+ awards and one TSP for Hyundai in the 2023 IIHS vehicle rating

To qualify for TSP+ in 2023, vehicles must excel in various crash tests, feature quality headlights, and have advanced front-crash prevention systems. The Elantra and Tucson not only meet but exceed these criteria, reinforcing Hyundai's dedication to safety technology and prioritizing both driver and pedestrian safety.

Metal Meets Mechanics: Hyundai's Cutting-Edge Factory, Powered by Robot Dogs🐶🤖

Top Gear this month was able to tour Hyundai’s all-new factory. One of the biggest takeaways from their tour was the fact that Hyundai has incorporated Boston Dynamics robot dogs to oversee the production of their vehicles on the assembly line. While the robot does have features to mimic dogs, Hyundai has found that they can have the dog inspect work done by the 27 workers that are on site so no vehicles are shipped with imperfections.

Other items of note that they were shown on their tour included Robotaxi production, A roof with a test track, and human workers wearing exoskeletons. I would encourage going through the rest of Topgear’s breakdown here, so you can see everything Hyundai is working on to push out the safest cars they can.
