HI-FIVE TO HYUNDAI IX35

    The Hyundai iX35 has received a EuroNCAP five star rating, an award that recognises those vehicles that have exceeded rigorous safety testing standards and come out on top – yet another large global accolade for the brand, following the i20 and i30 compact hatchback.


    Electronic stability control and a seatbelt reminder system played a key role in the ix35’s score in the safety assist category.  Hyundai’s focus on occupant safety was highlighted with high scores in the front and rear impact tests, with a stable compartment providing good protection in the event of a crash. In fact, the vehicle received a class leading score of 88% for child occupants, scoring well in tests for both 18 month old infants and 3 year old toddlers. Furthermore, the test score for adult occupants was 90%, and the safety assist features earned a score of 71 %.

    “This rating is certainly testament to Hyundai’s commitment to quality assurance, top-class automotive design and most importantly – safety. Furthermore, we are proud that we are able to offer our customers complete peace of mind across our models, especially for the iX35 - as it is seen as a family vehicle –where safety is most critical,” says Stanley Anderson, Marketing Director at Hyundai Automotive South Africa.
