2013 Hyundai Elantra Earns IIHS Top Safety Pick+ Award

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety recently awarded the 2013 Hyundai Elantra with an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ accolade; their highest safety rating. The Elantra was only one of six small cars to receive the honor! Other awarded Hyundai vehicles were the 2013 Sonata, Azera, Equus, Genesis, Tucson and Santa Fe, which all earned IIHS's Top Safety Pick.

The 2013 Elantra has six airbags, a state-of-the-art braking package (which has Brake Assist, technology that provides maximum braking force when a panic stop is detected).

"To keep drivers as safe as possible, Elantra, the 2012 North American Car of the Year, has a suite of active and passive safety features. Its Vehicle Stability Management (VSM) system optimally manages the ESC (Electronic Stability Control) and the Motor-Driven electric Power Steering (MDPS) to help maintain vehicle control," wrote Hyundai in the press release.
