Tucson and Santa Fe each receive TSP+ awards - IIHS TSP/TSP+ awards now require more stringent testing criteria for second-row occupants

Parent Company Hyundai Motor Group also leads industry with 12 new 2025 IIHS TSP/TSP+ awards
The 2025 IIHS test criteria now has more stringent requirements for second-row occupant safety. Vehicles must earn an acceptable rating in the updated test to qualify for TOP SAFETY PICK, and a good rating is required for the TOP SAFETY PICK+.
"Hyundai recognizes the importance in keeping all passengers safe with technology advancements throughout the vehicle," said
Back seat safety is emphasized in the Institute's updated moderate overlap front test which adds a second dummy seated behind the driver. The original test has been phased out completely.
"We're once again challenging automakers to make their new models even safer than those they were building a year ago," IIHS President
To earn a TSP/TSP+ award, vehicles must also earn good ratings in the small overlap front and updated side tests as well as an acceptable or good rating in the pedestrian front crash prevention evaluation, which gauges performance in both daytime and nighttime conditions. All trims must be equipped with acceptable- or good-rated headlights. For more information on the changes to the award criteria, visit IIHS.org.
