India-Bound 2022 Hyundai Tucson Scores 5-Star Safety Rating

Hyundai is readying the heavily updated Tucson for India as it has been spied on multiple occasions. If its regular occurrence in the spy circles hasn’t gotten you excited, its safety ratings definitely will! It is no secret that Indians have started paying more and more attention to the safety quotient of a car. We are happy to report that the upcoming Hyundai Tucson will not disappoint in that regard.

5-star safety rating

The Korean manufacturer has built one heck of a machine in terms of safety. The car has received a 5-star rating in Euro NCAP. The car tested was very similar to the 2022 model year Tucson, which will soon be launched in India.

Although the car tested was LHD, but we still get an idea of the build quality. The car tested was fitted with standard safety equipment and thus, the rating can be extended to all the models under the Tucson moniker.

The car is fitted with many safety assists such as; seatbelt reminder for both front and rear, driver monitoring system to detect fatigued driving, Autonomous Emergency Braking or AEB, speed assistance, and lane support system. The car performed well in safety assistance tests and secured a 70 percent score. Speed assistance, driver monitoring, and lane support passed the tests with flying colours, but the car lagged behind in terms of AEB car-to-car. More advanced Autonomous braking is also available in some higher trim levels, but they were not tested in this assignment.
