Hyundai Elantra

The Elantra may be one of the most affordable models in the 2023 Hyundai lineup, but it doesn’t skimp on safety features. Every trim of the compact sedan is equipped with a wealth of driver assistance features , including forward collision alert, pedestrian monitoring, lane-keep assist, blind-spot detection, automated high-beam headlamps, rear cross-traffic alert, driver-attention monitoring, and safe-exit warning.

You and your passengers can feel safe and confident riding in the Elantra as it provides excellent crash protection. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), this new Hyundai is deserving of a five-star overall rating, which is the highest score possible. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) said it’s a “Top Safety Pick.”

Hyundai Sonata

If you’re in the market for a midsize car, the 2023 Hyundai Sonata is one of the safest options. Similar to the Elantra, this Hyundai sedan boasts a generous roster of standard active safety technologies to help you avoid collisions. In addition, it offers an optional 360-degree camera system, which enables you to detect obstacles on all four sides of your car. The Sonata also fared remarkably well in crash safety tests, earning a five-star overall score from the NHTSA and a “Top Safety Pick” award from the IIHS.

Hyundai Venue

The Hyundai Venue is an ideal choice for drivers who are transitioning from a sedan to an SUV, thanks to its small dimensions and extensive driver aids. Its tall windows also provide terrific outward visibility, resulting in enhanced safety. In crash tests with the NHTSA, the subcompact crossover fell a little short of the perfect score, getting four stars overall. However, the IIHS rated it a “Top Safety Pick.”

Hyundai Kona

Despite being larger than the Venue, the Hyundai Kona also competes in the subcompact SUV segment. Like its smaller sibling, it’s one of the most formidable entries in the category in terms of safety. This Hyundai SUV received an overall five-star score from the NHTSA and a rating of “Good” from the IIHS.

Hyundai IONIQ 5

If you want to buy a safe electric SUV, look no further than the Hyundai IONIQ 5. The IIHS named the 2023 IONIQ 5 a “Top Safety Pick Plus,” which is the highest accolade from the organization. The crossover garnered the best possible rating of “Good” in all six crash safety tests and the top score of “Superior” for its standard front collision avoidance technologies. Similarly, the NHTSA gave the IONIQ 5 an overall rating of five out of five stars.

Hyundai Tucson

The Hyundai Tucson is another favorite choice among drivers who place great importance on safety. For the 2023 model year, the compact SUV received the “Top Safety Pick Plus” award from the IIHS. Nevertheless, the NHTSA was more critical, assigning five stars to the front-wheel-drive models and four stars to all-wheel-drive models.

As for driver assistance technologies, the Tucson comes standard with common features such as blind-spot detection, pedestrian monitoring, adaptive cruise control, and rear cross-traffic warning. In addition, it has a few cutting-edge optional safety systems worth mentioning. One of them is remote smart parking assistance, which allows you to use the key fob to perform remote-controlled perpendicular and parallel parking. There’s also the Highway Driving Assist system, a semi-autonomous driving system that keeps the SUV at a preset speed and following distance on the highway.

Hyundai Santa Fe

From a roomy and comfortable cabin to an abundance of tech features, the midsize Hyundai Santa Fe has many attributes that make it an excellent family SUV. It also has safety features to satisfy even the most safety-conscious car shoppers. After testing the crash safety of the Santa Fe, the IIHS gave it the prestigious “Top Safety Pick Plus” award. The NHTSA was equally impressed, rating the Hyundai five stars overall.

Hyundai Palisade

If you have a large family, you should consider getting the three-row Hyundai Palisade . Hyundai’s flagship SUV is a fantastic all-rounder that excels in almost every department, including safety. With its strong body structure, it does a great job of absorbing impact in a collision, giving its occupants maximum protection against injuries. This helps it earn a “Top Safety Pick Plus” rating from the IIHS and a five-star score from the NHTSA. For 2023, the SUV offers improved protection with the addition of standard rear side-impact air bags.

Hyundai Santa Cruz

The new Hyundai Santa Cruz is safer than ever before with an array of new standard driver assistance features, such as blind-spot detection, rear cross-traffic collision avoidance assistance, and safe-exit warning. Other standard features such as lane-keep assist, automated emergency braking, automated high-beam headlights, and driver-attention monitoring carry over. The compact pickup truck hasn’t been around long enough to undergo crash safety tests with NHTSA, but it received a “Top Safety Pick” award from the IIHS.
