Hyundai Elantra and Sonata win Top Safety Pick+ Award from the IIHS

Safety never goes out of style—and Hyundai just proved it again. The 2025 Elantra and Sonata (including hybrids) have officially joined Hyundai’s growing list of TOP SAFETY PICK+ award-winners, bringing the total to seven Hyundai models earning the highest possible safety rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

That means the Elantra, Sonata, IONIQ 5, IONIQ 6, Kona, Tucson, and Santa Fe—all including hybrid variants—passed the IIHS’s toughest crash tests with flying colors.

What’s changed for 2025? The bar’s been raised with stricter standards for rear-seat passenger protection, and Hyundai’s stepping up with enhanced safety features across the lineup.

It’s not just safety that makes the 2025 Hyundai Elantra and Sonata stand out (though we’ll revisit that in a second). These two sedans have carved out their place in the market by being thoughtfully designed, tech-savvy, and surprisingly fun to drive.

The Elantra leans into bold styling and compact efficiency, while the Sonata brings a more refined, midsize feel—without losing its edge. Both offer great gas and hybrid options to even performance-minded variants, giving drivers plenty of ways to find the right fit.

Now with both being selected as IIHS Top Safety Pick+, you’ve got two Hyundais that are easy to feel good about from just about every angle!

2026 Hyundai Palisade is now offered with Hybrid Powertrain for the first time!

The 2026 Hyundai Palisade is turning a new page—literally—with its first-ever hybrid powertrain. Set to arrive in fall 2025, this new setup delivers serious upgrades: we’re talking more power and better mileage.

With a combined 329 horsepower, the Palisade Hybrid outperforms the standard V6 engine (287 horsepower) while also aiming for over 30 MPG on the highway. That’s a win-win for families who want both strength and savings at the pump.

Need to tow the toys? The Palisade Hybrid is rated to pull up to 4,000 pounds and includes an integrated tow hitch on select trims: the XRT Pro, Limited, and Calligraphy.

So it’s great for hauling gear, the crew, and it goes the extra mile; what’s not to love about the 2026 Palisade Hybrid?!

It also comes with a special "Stay Mode" for parked comfort—perfect for tailgates, road trip breaks, or just keeping cool while waiting in the school pickup line. This mode lets passengers efficiently enjoy A/C and the entertainment system while you’re parked.

Hyundai estimates an almost 620-mile range on a full tank of gas with the 2026 Palisade Hybrid which is very, VERY impressive for Hyundai’s LARGEST SUV.

Assertive. Glitzy. Efficient. And backed by America’s Best Warranty. The 2026 Palisade Hybrid arrives at Holler Hyundai this Fall!

First Glimpse at All-New High-Performance IONIQ 6 N EV

Hyundai just dropped a shadowy sneak peek at its next big move: the all-electric, high-performance IONIQ 6 N. If the award-winning, media darling IONIQ 5 N was the mic drop, the IONIQ 6 N promises to be the long-awaited encore.

Sleek, low-slung, and clearly not messing around, this next-gen electric sport sedan is built for drivers who want their EV with a side of adrenaline.

While the teaser doesn’t reveal much detail, the silhouette alone says plenty—flared fenders, a wider stance, lightweight wheels, and a track-worthy rear wing. It’s all in service of speed, control, and what Hyundai’s N division calls “everyday thrill.”

Whether you’re the kind of driver who cares about lap times or just likes taking the long way home, the IONIQ 6 N looks like it’s ready to deliver. More to come soon!
