Hyundai Ioniq 5 Is A Safety Star, Becomes An IIHS Top Safety Pick+

Hyundai Ioniq 5 is one of the most popular electric crossovers on the market right now, with its blend of cool looks, a competent platform and powertrain and plenty of unique practical features too. Well, now you can add “very safe” to that list because the Ioniq 5 was just given a Top Safety Pick+ rating by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, which gave it a Good mark in all categories tested.

In fact the only Acceptable rating is for the base reflector-type headlights, which had points deducted for having a bit too much glare and for not providing sufficient visibility on the gradual left curve test while on low beams. High beams aren’t that much better, as the IIHS noted they provided inadequate illumination on the sharp right curve part of the test.
