IIHS News Release | June 30, 2022 ARLINGTON, Va. - The all-new 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5, an electric small SUV, earns a TOP SAFETY PICK+ award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. To earn either of the Institute’s two awards in 2022, vehicles must earn good ratings in six IIHS crashworthiness evaluations, including the driver-side small overlap front, passenger-side small overlap front, moderate overlap front, original side, roof strength and head restraint tests. They must also be available with a front crash prevention system that earns advanced or superior ratings in both the vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian evaluations. For the lower-tier TOP SAFETY PICK, at least one good or acceptable headlight system must be available. For the higher-tier TOP SAFETY PICK+, good or acceptable headlights must be standard across all trims. The Ioniq 5 meets all the requirements for the higher-tier award. Its standard front crash prevention system earns superior ratings in the vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian evaluations. The SEL and Limited trims come equipped with good-rated LED projector headlights, while the SE trim comes with LED reflectors that earn an acceptable rating. The award applies to vehicles built after December 2021, when Hyundai made changes to the front seats that could affect the head restraint evaluation.

with the way the roof crumpled like that i’m not so confident about how well it will do in the updated side crash test

[@Wasabi9111]

I was thinking the same thing. The website has the after photo w the b pillar buckled. I’m surprised this got a Good rating. I have this car and I love it, but was hoping it would do better

that structure is a struggle!

I think it’s because of the way that thing barley moved compared to other cars. Guess batteries are heavy so the car has to be even stronger.

I still don’t understand why side airbags in the rear seats aren’t at least a cost option

[@ml9867]

It's surprising to me to. Mercedes Benz offers them as an optional extra, yet some vehicles like the Chevy Malibu has had them standard since 2016.

[@JASTERCMIX]

Interesting thing I’ve noticed with EVs in this test, they lean to the passenger side because of the weight of the battery. Most normal ICE cars I’ve seen tested when the roller contacts the side of the car the car leans into the roller and kind of jumps, and with the EV it’s almost like a wall

[@Wasmachineman]

Original side IIHS crash test? 🤔

[@ml9867]

They are doing an updated one with higher speed and/or more weight on the crash sled.

[@SiiliViin]

This is very poor. It is just 50 km/h and b-pillar already gives up completely. In real life, you will be dead with higher speed or bigger car hit you from side.

Deformation is how the vehicle absorbs the crash energy so it doesn't transfer to the passengers. Deformation is fine.

[@Digizzzzs]

Did IIHS change the way their testing? It looks literally shattered

[@AIRDRAC]

Yes, they increased the height of the bumper on the crash cart, as I recall, leading to impact higher on the door, instead of door-sill height, which makes it a lot harder to pass, as much of the structural strength is in the bottom of a car, and even more so for electric cars on a "skateboard platform" like the new Hyundai and Kias, as well as e.g. Teslas.

Why did you test this car at the slower speeds and not via your updated test? Is it not able to handle the higher speed impacts?

The original test still factors into our TOP SAFETY PICK awards so we are currently running both tests. The updated test will fully replace the original test in 2023 when it begins factoring into our safety awards.

[@kode1996]

There is no way that structure is good like it's rated. Look at the buckling on the roof. Acceptable at most!!

[@randomcrashingfacility31]

The old test criteria says that its good. Probably because intrusion is very even, making it matter a bit less than in the newer test. Just a guess though.

@@nickbien Intrusion isn't covered there by Hyundai is it? I wouldn't be surprised if they gave it good by it reaching the bare minimum in all safety regulations.

[@nickbien]

@@ec23472 i think all intrusion is measured at the end of the test (at that point it already bounced back) But if the structure caused the dummy to get squished I think that would show up in the injury measures and they could get a lower rating.

[@ec23472]

@@nickbien Not talking about the dummy inures, I am aware it got a good in all of that. What I mean, however, is that if at this speed it gets that intrusion, imagine how it would go with the higher speeds common in most highways. I believe it should be crucial to not do the BARE MINIMUM at a relatively slow speed test, In fact, I find it quite worrying.
