The 2018 Hyundai Kona, a new small SUV, earns good ratings in five crashworthiness tests from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety in the driver-side small overlap, moderate overlap, side, roof strength and head restraint tests. It hasn’t been evaluated for passenger-side small overlap protection.
The Kona equipped with the system avoided crashes in IIHS track tests at 12 mph and 25 mph. The system also includes a forward collision warning component that meets National Highway Traffic Safety Administration criteria.
