• Hyundai Tucson Hybrid one of only seven vehicles to earn this award 

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif. , July 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Hyundai Tucson Hybrid has been awarded one of the Best Cars for Car Seats by Cars.com. With 51 vehicles tested, Tucson is one of seven vehicles to earn this recognition. To qualify, vehicles had to score well in Cars.com's Car Seat Checks evaluation where certified child safety seat installation technicians conduct hands-on tests of a car's Latch system and check the vehicle's ability to accommodate different types of car seats. The Tucson Hybrid received straight A grades across each category in the evaluation.

"As a mobility solutions provider, safety is at the forefront of everything we do and keeping our owners and their loved ones safe is our priority," said Cole Stutz, chief safety officer, Hyundai Motor North America. "We're not only equipping our vehicles with 'Smartsense' advanced safety systems and convenience features but also educating families across the U.S. through our Hyundai Hope initiatives with the knowledge and resources to make informed, life-saving decisions with regards to car seat safety."  

"Every child seat we tested—infant, rear facing convertible, forward facing convertible, and booster—earned straight A's in the Tucson Hybrid's second row, thanks to easy‑ to‑ locate LATCH anchors, removable head restraints for better seatback contact, and ‑user-friendly‑ tether points," says Jenni Newman, Cars.com editor in chief and certified car seat technician. "Installations were effortless, and even with all seats in place, a six-foot driver still had roomy legroom—making the 2025 Tucson Hybrid not just spacious, but genuinely family ready. That's why it was named one of Cars.com's‑ 2025 Best Cars for Car Seats."
