The 2025 Hyundai Tucson compact SUV has been named a Top Safety Pick+ by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), the organization's highest safety award. Revamped for 2025, the Tucson earned exceptional scores across all IIHS crash test categories and evaluations, a testament to Hyundai's commitment to producing some of the safest vehicles on the road today.
Advanced Safety Features and Driver Assist Technologies
To achieve the IIHS Top Safety Pick+ designation and stand out among other vehicles, the 2025 Tucson offers an impressive array of advanced safety features and driver-assist technologies in addition to crashworthiness. These include:
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian, Cyclist, and Junction-Turning Detection: This system uses radar and camera sensors to detect potential collisions with vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists in front of the Tucson. If a collision risk is detected, it alerts the driver and can automatically apply the brakes to help avoid or mitigate the impact. It also helps prevent accidents when making left turns at intersections.
- Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist: Using radar sensors in the rear bumper, this system monitors the Tucson's blind spots and warns the driver if a vehicle is detected. If the driver attempts to change lanes when a vehicle is present, it can automatically apply the brakes to help avoid a collision.
- Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist: When reversing out of a parking space or driveway, this system detects vehicles approaching from the side and can warn the driver and apply the brakes to help avoid a collision.
- Lane Keeping Assist and Lane Following Assist: These systems use a forward-facing camera to detect lane markings and help keep the Tucson centered in its lane. Lane Keeping Assist provides steering corrections if the vehicle starts to drift, while Lane Following Assist proactively works to keep the vehicle centered.
- Driver Attention Warning: This system monitors driver behavior for signs of drowsiness or distraction, alerting them with visual and audible warnings to take a break if necessary.
- Safe Exit Warning: To help prevent accidents when exiting the vehicle, this system warns occupants if a vehicle is approaching from behind, letting them know it may not be safe to open the door.
The Importance of Choosing a Vehicle with Top Safety Ratings
While many modern vehicles offer advanced safety features, not all are created equal when it comes to crash protection and accident avoidance. That's where the IIHS Top Safety Pick+ designation comes in. It helps consumers identify the vehicles that offer the highest level of safety across all categories.
By choosing a vehicle like the 2025 Hyundai Tucson that has earned the Top Safety Pick+ rating, you can have peace of mind knowing that you and your loved ones are protected. In the unfortunate event of an accident, you can trust that the Tucson's advanced engineering and robust construction will work to keep you safe.
Furthermore, the Tucson's standard and available driver assist features can help prevent accidents from occurring in the first place. By actively monitoring your surroundings and intervening when necessary, these systems act as an extra set of eyes on the road, helping to compensate for human error and reduce the risk of collisions.
