Vehicles undergoing Euro NCAP’s safety test are evaluated in four categories: Adult Occupant, Child Occupant, Vulnerable Road User and Safety Assist. The five-star-rated Ioniq 6 excelled in the Adult Occupant, Child Occupant and Safety Assist categories.
"The fact that Ioniq 6 has followed the Ioniq 5 in achieving the maximum five-star safety rating from Euro NCAP is proof that not only is Hyundai a leader in future mobility, but also that our models are among the safest in Europe," says Andreas-Christoph Hofmann, Vice President Marketing and Product at Hyundai Motor Europe. "Hyundai is committed to guaranteeing our customers and all road users a high level of safety and technology-driven mobility solutions, and the latest five-star Euro NCAP rating underlines our success in achieving that goal."
As well as seven airbags as standard,
the Ioniq 6 is equipped with the next level of Hyundai SmartSense
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, ensuring safety and convenience on
the road. These include Highway Driving Assist 2 (HDA 2), which helps to
maintain a set distance and speed from the vehicle ahead when driving
on a highway and helps to centre the vehicle in the lane while driving,
even through a corner.
Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control
(NSCC) helps to maintain distance from the vehicle ahead and drive at a
speed set by the driver by reflecting the learned driving style of the
driver. It also uses the navigation system’s road information to
optimise automated driving and perform speed adjustment for safe driving
through corners. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) helps to
avoid collisions with objects in front of the vehicle while driving by
providing a warning and assisting with the emergency breaking.
The
Ioniq 6 Electrified Streamliner also includes enhanced functions of
Junction Turning, Junction Crossing, Lane-Changing Oncoming and
Lane-Changing Side along with Evasive Steering Assist. Other
semi-autonomous driving features include Intelligent Speed Limit Assist
(ISLA), which adjusts vehicle speed to match the speed limit, and High
Beam Assist (HBA), which can help switch high beam lights on and off at
night for approaching vehicles in the opposite oncoming lane.
The
Ioniq 6 has several driver attention-related functions, such as Driver
Attention Warning (DAW), which analyses the driver's attention while
driving, provides a warning when signs of driver inattentiveness are
detected and recommends a rest if needed. During a stop, the driver is
alerted if the leading vehicle departs.
Certain functions work in
tandem to help avoid collisions in a variety of driving situations.
Blind-Spot Collision-avoidance Assist (BCA) helps avoid collisions at
the rear side of the vehicle when changing lanes. Another function,
Blind-Spot View Monitor (BVM), displays video of the blind-spot view for
a safe lane change. Similarly, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance
Assist (RCCA) helps avoid collisions with oncoming vehicles on the left
or right side of the vehicle while reversing.
The latest member
of the Ioniq lineup brand also assures the safety of backseat passengers
with Safe Exit Warning (SEW), which provides a warning when a vehicle
is approaching from the rear-side while getting out of the vehicle. A
variety of parking convenience features make parking in a variety of
circumstances easier and safer than ever before, including
Forward/Side/Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist (PCA), which
helps avoid collisions with pedestrians and objects around the vehicle
while parking or exiting.
