What IIHS TOP SAFETY awards did Hyundai Motor Group brands win?

Among the Group’s brands, Hyundai Motor and Genesis earned five awards each, while Kia received two, highlighting the exceptional safety standards embedded in Hyundai, Kia and Genesis vehicles as part of the Group’s overall mission to deliver to customers uncompromising levels of safety and quality.

The five Hyundai Motor TSP+ winners included:

  • IONIQ 5
  • KONA SUV
  • TUCSON SUV
  • SANTA FE SUV (built after November 2024)
  • IONIQ 6

The four Genesis TSP+ winners included:

  • GV60 SUV
  • Electrified GV70 SUV
  • GV70 SUV (built after April 2024)
  • GV80 SUV

The Genesis G90 large luxury sedan was also recognized with a TSP award.

The two Kia TSP+ award winners were:

  • EV9 SUV
  • Telluride SUV

All vehicles were 2025 model year unless otherwise specified.

How did IIHS update its award criteria for 2025?

For 2025, the IIHS updated its TSP and TSP+ award criteria, placing even greater emphasis on protection for second-row occupants, with tests requiring advanced seat belt technology and other safety innovations to score highly. Further updates to the testing methods and standards raised the already-high benchmark for consideration, resulting in just 48 models qualifying for this year’s awards, compared with 71 last year at this time.

With the judging criteria including small and moderate front overlap, side impact and crash prevention tests, as well as measures for pedestrian safety and new, more stringent rear passenger safety standards, Hyundai, Genesis and Kia’s excellent performance highlights the dedication to safety that is instilled throughout Hyundai Motor Group.
