Hyundai Tucson has achieved a 5-star safety rating in the Bharat NCAP (BNCAP) crash tests, making it the first Hyundai passenger vehicle to undergo testing under India's new safety standards. This follows the Tucson's previous 3-star rating in the Latin NCAP crash tests, conducted in 2022. The achievement highlights Hyundai's commitment to enhancing vehicle safety for Indian consumers.

Scoring 30.84 out of 32 points in adult occupant protection, Hyundai Tucson excelled in the frontal offset crash test with 14.84 out of 16 points, offering good protection for the driver and front passenger. The driver’s chest was rated “adequate,” while other areas received “good” protection. In the Side Impact Test, the Tucson scored a perfect 16.00 out of 16 points. It also achieved 41.00 out of 49 points for child occupant protection, with both rear-facing child restraint systems receiving full marks.

The Hyundai Tucson, tested in its Platinum and Signature variants with a 2.0-litre petrol engine and automatic transmission, has been awarded a 5-star safety rating in the Bharat NCAP crash tests. Standard safety features on the SUV include six airbags, ABS with EBD, ISOFIX child seat anchors, and seatbelt reminders for all seats. The Signature variant is further equipped with Hyundai's SmartSense ADAS suite, providing advanced driver assistance systems for enhanced safety.

Hyundai Tucson's recent 5-star safety rating in the Bharat NCAP crash tests further boosts customer confidence in the brand. This milestone coincides with Hyundai's latest advancement in the electric vehicle sector, as the company recently unveiled the Hyundai Ioniq 9. The luxurious three-row electric SUV was introduced at the iconic Goldstein House in Los Angeles. The Ioniq 9 joins Hyundai's successful Ioniq lineup, which includes the award-winning Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6. With plans to introduce 23 electric vehicle models by 2030, Hyundai is reinforcing its position as a leader in the electric vehicle market.
