Safety.

Hyundai SmartSense™.

No shortcuts to safety.

At Hyundai, we’re always searching for new and better ways to make driving safer. Because as with every other aspect of life, driving is unpredictable – and we believe it makes sense to do everything possible to help avoid these situations, just in case. Our dedicated engineers and designers strive to create increasingly smarter, stronger and more technologically advanced cars that minimise the very real risks on the road for drivers, passengers and pedestrians alike.

ANCAP star ratings indicate the level of safety a vehicle provides for drivers, passengers and pedestrians in the event of a crash, as well as its ability – through technology – to avoid or minimise the effects of a crash. With Hyundai, you can be confident it’s not just you that puts you and your family’s safety first.

Roads and other drivers can be unpredictable, and one of your biggest challenges is avoiding the dangers and obstacles you don’t see coming. That’s why we integrate cutting-edge technology like Hyundai SmartSense™ into our cars, to cover your blind spots and step in with steering assistance and awareness when needed. Comprised of sensors, cameras, alerts and alarms, plus brilliant software that ties them all together, Hyundai SmartSense™ includes applications like Smart Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist and Driver Attention Warning, to always keep a watchful eye out for you, your passengers and other road users.

Seamlessly integrated.

Our suite of advanced safety technologies have been subtly incorporated into the design of each and every model, inside and out, so they’re always on guard and ready to protect you, even if you don’t notice them much of the time.

Class-leading technology.

Achieving the highest possible ANCAP ratings for our cars is one way to demonstrate our commitment to safety. But we don’t stop there. On top of all the safety fundamentals (such as airbags, anti-lock brakes and traction control), we go further by adding some of the most advanced car safety tech.

Surround View Monitor (SVM).

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) – City/Urban/Interurban/
Pedestrian/Cyclist (camera & radar).

This system utilises front radar sensors and a windshield-mounted camera to detect cars in front that have become too close for comfort. It can also detect pedestrians and cyclists travelling in front and will automatically apply the Santa Fe’s brakes if there’s the chance of a collision.

Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist – Rear (BCA-R).

Like a second set of eyes, this system uses radar sensors in the rear bumper to look out for vehicles in the driver’s blind spot. When BCA-R detects a vehicle in those blind spots (including when a driver is exiting out of a parallel kerbside space), it provides visual and audible alerts, and if it detects a potential collision, it initiates active avoidance steering manoeuvres to steer the Santa Fe out of harm’s way.
