Test results

The 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 has undergone strict IIHS safety tests. According to Teslarati, the electric sedan gained “Good” scores in all categories of Crashworthiness, including the following:

  • Small overlap front: driver-side
  • Small overlap front: passenger-side
  • Moderate overlap front: original test
  • Side: update test

Moreover, it also performed excellently in the Crash avoidance and mitigation category. Hyundai gained a “Superior” score in this particular category for the following tests:

  • Front Crash Prevention: vehicle-to-pedestrian (day) 
  • Front Crash Prevention: vehicle-to-pedestrian (night)

However, it only scored “Acceptable” for its headlights, which is only one of the model’s poorest scores in IIHS tests. It also received an “Acceptable” rating for LATCH’s ease of use.

The IIHS also commented on the Hyundai Ioniq 6’s low and high beams.

“On the straightaway, visibility was good on the left side of the road and fair on the right side. On curves, visibility was good on the sharp right curve, fair on the gradual right and sharp left curves, and inadequate on the gradual left curve. High-beam assist compensates for some limitations of this vehicle’s low beams on the straightaway and all 4 curves.”

IIHS

Meanwhile, it gained a “Good” score in the seat belts and child restraints category, particularly for seatbelt reminders. 

“It’s exciting to see the IONIQ 6, Hyundai’s newest electric vehicle, obtain the highest level of safety. Making sure safety continues to be a priority in alternatively powered vehicles is critical if we are going to achieve the vision of zero traffic fatalities.”

David Harkey, IIHS President

Qualification

The vehicle must get “Good” scores in the following tests to qualify for the 2023 Top Safety Pick+ award:

All the vehicle’s trims must also gain “Acceptable” or “Good” scores for headlights. In addition, it must perform well in the front crash prevention system to gain “Advanced” or Superior” scores for daytime and nighttime vehicle-to-pedestrian tests.

Other title holders

The Hyundai Ioniq 6 is among the latest additions to the list of TOP SAFETY PICK+ Award holders, including the Tesla Model 3 and Tesla Model Y. 

Notably, Rivian’s all-electric pickup trucks R1T and R1S also gained the prestigious safety award from the IIHS.

Hyundai Ioniq 6’s success in gaining the 2023 Top Safety Pick+ award from the IIHS is unsurprising, given its remarkable performance in the strict crashworthiness test and its front-crash prevention technologies. It can significantly protect pedestrians from road accidents during the day or even at night.
