Hyundai | IONIQ 5 - Semiautonomous Driving. Power your world.

Technology you won't see. Safety you will notice.

To us, creating comprehensive safety means watching out for you, protecting you in case of accidents, and constantly looking for even better ways of doing just that.

Proactive Safety.

Every Hyundai includes advanced electronic safety systems that watch out for you and prevent accidents from happening.
Passive Safety.

All Hyundai vehicles are built to withstand impact and protect all passengers in case a collision does occur.
Safety Innovation.

We invest heavily in research and testing to keep improving all our models’ safety performance.

Front View Camera.

Monitors the street and keeps track of lane boundaries, speed limit signs and other traffic participants. Stops the car automatically when necessary.
Front Radars.

Radars complement the front view camera: They spot cars, cyclists or people and make sure the car stays at a safe distance or slows down automatically.
Rear Radars.

You don’t have eyes in the back, which is why the rear radars are used to detect anything in your way and to automatically alert you.

More about proactive safety

Built to withstand dangers.

From its reinforced chassis to specific crumple zones, each Hyundai is designed keep you safe in case of a collision.
Airbags around the interior.

Your vehicle protects all passengers from impact with airbags that rapidly activate in case of an accident.
eCall speeds up response times.

Should you be involved in an accident, your Hyundai automatically phones the emergency services.

EURO NCAP.

Hyundai consistently receives high safety ratings from the independent European New Car Assessment Programme.

All about safety innovation

Low centre of gravity.

Car batteries are not only well-encapsulated; in all Hyundai models, they are located in the vehicle floor and specially protected by design. A welcome side-effect of this is that because the vehicle’s centre of gravity is very low, it is less likely to roll over than a conventional car.

Automatic battery cut-off.

Electric cars must be “intrinsically safe”. This means that the power flow of the battery is cut-off as soon as a defect is detected. In case of an accident, the battery is automatically disconnected from the other high-voltage components and cables within milliseconds. The 12-volt electrical system, however, continues to operate and supply the hazard warning lights, for example. This safety measure alone makes a sudden fire highly unlikely.

No flammable fuel.

While liquid fuel spilling from a petrol or diesel car is a fire hazard, electric car batteries are generally slow-burning and allow ample time to evacuate from a crash site.
