[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] Hyundai Motor Company's dedicated electric vehicle 'Ioniq 5' and the compact SUV The All-New Tucson have received the highest safety rating from Europe's new car assessment and certification organization 'Euro NCAP'.

According to Hyundai Motor Europe and Euro NCAP on the 28th, both the Ioniq 5 and Tucson received the highest safety rating of '5 stars' in crash tests. They achieved high scores in all four evaluation categories: ▲Adult occupant protection ▲Child occupant protection ▲Vulnerable road user protection ▲Safety assist systems.

The Euro NCAP test is a European new car assessment program that has been conducted since 1997, verifying the safety of vehicles sold in Europe and publishing the results.

The Tucson scored 86 points for adult occupant protection and 87 points for child occupant protection. It is equipped with seven airbags for front seat occupants, Highway Driving Assist (HDA), Blind-Spot View Monitor (BVM), Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist (BCA), and Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA).

The Ioniq 5 scored 88 points for adult occupant protection, 86 points for child occupant protection, and 88 points in the safety assist systems category. Hyundai applied Highway Driving Assist 2 (HDA2) for the first time on the Ioniq 5. HDA2 combines navigation-based smart cruise control and Lane Following Assist (LFA), utilizing Level 2 autonomous driving capabilities. Using front cameras, radar sensors, and navigation data, it controls speed, direction, and following distance to the preceding vehicle, as well as assists the driver in changing lanes.

Andreas Christoph Hofmann, Vice President of Product and Marketing at Hyundai Motor Europe, said, "The fact that both the Tucson and Ioniq 5 received the maximum 5-star safety rating from Euro NCAP is proof that Hyundai is not only a leader in future mobility but also that our models are among the safest cars in Europe. This is the result of Hyundai's efforts to ensure a high level of safety not only for our customers but also for other drivers on the road."

Meanwhile, Hyundai Motor Europe's strategic model 'Bayon' received 4 stars in this evaluation, proving its safety with a score of 82 points in the child occupant protection category.
