Important: Frontal crash test ratings can be compared only among vehicles of similar weight.

Good Good Acceptable Marginal Poor Poor

Test details:

The Hyundai Santa Fe was redesigned for the 2013 model year. Moderate offset frontal ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test conducted by Hyundai as part of frontal crash test verification.

Restraints/dummy kinematics — Dummy movement was well controlled. After the dummy moved forward into the airbag, it rebounded into the seat without its head coming close to any stiff structure that could cause injury.

Injury measures — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.

Additional features:

Side airbags: front and rear head curtain airbags and front seat-mounted torso airbags
Rollover sensor: designed to deploy the side curtain airbags in the event of an impending rollover
Driver knee airbag: a separate airbag in the lower instrument panel designed to minimize knee injuries in frontal crashes
Electronic stability control, includes roll stability control
Antilock brakes
