In the both the frontal offset test and the side barrier impact, protection of all critical body areas was good or adequate for both child dummies. The front passenger airbag can be disabled to allow a rearward-facing child restraint to be used in that seating position. Clear information is provided to the driver regarding the status of the airbag and the system was rewarded. All of the child restraint types for which the TUCSON is designed could be properly installed and accommodated in the car.

Good or adequate protection was provided to the head of a struck pedestrian over most of the bonnet surface, with some areas of poor protection on the stiff windscreen pillars. The bumper provided good protection to pedestrians’ legs at all test locations. However, protection of the pelvis was predominantly poor. The autonomous emergency braking system of the TUCSON detects vulnerable road users, as well as other vehicles. The system’s response to pedestrians was adequate and to cyclists was good.

A seatbelt reminder is standard for the front and rear seats. A driver monitoring system monitors steering inputs for signs of fatigued driving. The autonomous emergency braking system showed only marginal performance in tests of its reaction to other vehicles. A more advanced AEB system is available as an option which protects against other types of accidents, but that system is not included in this assessment. Speed assistance is provided by a system which informs the driver of the local limit, and which can automatically set the speed limiter to the appropriate speed. A lane support system gently corrects the course of a car which is drifting out of lane and also intervenes in more critical situations.

The passenger compartment of the TUCSON remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy numbers showed good protection of the knees and femurs of both the driver and passenger. Hyundai showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to the legs of occupants of different sizes and to those sitting in different positions. Protection of the driver’s chest was marginal. Analysis of the deceleration of the impact trolley during the test, and analysis of the deformable barrier after the test, revealed that the TUCSON would be a moderately benign impact partner in a frontal collision. In the full-width rigid barrier test, good or adequate protection was provided to most critical body areas. However, driver chest protection was rated as marginal, based on dummy readings of compression. In the side barrier test, protection of all critical body areas was good or adequate. In the more severe side pole impact, protection of all critical body areas was good and the car scored maximum points for this part of the assessment. The TUCSON has a centre airbag to mitigate occupant to occupant injuries in the event of a lateral collision. In Euro NCAP’s test, the airbag worked well, with good protection of the dummies’ heads. Limitation of the extent to which a body is thrown to the other side of the car in a side impact was rated as adequate. Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated good protection against whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision. A geometric analysis of the rear seats also indicated marginal whiplash protection. The TUCSON has, as standard, an advanced emergency call system which alerts the emergency services in the event of a crash. The car also applies the brakes after a collision to prevent secondary impacts.
