2019 Hyundai Veloster Earns IIHS Top Safety Pick | Memphis, TN

There can be no doubt that the all-new 2019 Hyundai Veloster is big on style, personality, and performance. With recent announcement that the Veloster has earned the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's TOP SAFETY PICK, it can't be denied that the Veloster is also big on safety.

To earn the IIHS 2019 TOP SAFETY PICK distinction, a vehicle must earn "Good" scores in the driver-side small overlap front, moderate overlap front, side, roof strength, and head restraint tests; a score of "Acceptable" or "Good" in the passenger-side small overlap front test; an "Acceptable" or "Good" score for headlights; and an "Advanced" or "Superior" rating for front crash prevention.

The Veloster achieved "Good" scores in all six stages of crash testing and an "Acceptable" rating for the LED headlights standard on every Turbo, Turbo Ultimate, and Turbo R-Spec built after August 2018. Impressively, both the standard Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist and optional Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection earned "Superior" scores for front crash prevention, avoiding a collision at speeds of 12 mph and 25 mph in testing.

Beyond its performance in IIHS testing, the 2019 Hyundai Veloster demonstrates its dedication to your safety with standard Hyundai SmartSense technologies. In addition to FCA, the Veloster gets standard Driver Attention Warning and Lane Keep Assist, which respectively notify you when you are exhibiting signs of fatigue and help keep you centered in your lane. With additional available technologies like High Beam Assist, Smart Cruise Control, Blind-Spot Collision Warning, and Rear Cross-traffic Collision Warning, you can rest assured that the Veloster has your back - and every other angle, for that matter.

The Veloster earning the IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK also confirms Hyundai as one of the safest brands by far on the road today. The Veloster joins the Accent, Elantra, Elantra GT, Ioniq Hybrid, Ioniq Plug-In Hybrid, Kona, Santa Fe, Santa Fe XL, Sonata, and Tucson in receiving either the 2019 TOP SAFETY PICK or 2019 TOP SAFETY PICK+, giving Hyundai more IIHS honorees than any other brand going.
