Hyundai IONIQ 5

The passenger compartment of the IONIQ 5 remained stable in the frontal offset test.  Dummy numbers showed good protection of the knees and femurs of both the driver and passenger.  Hyundai showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to the legs of occupants of different sizes and to those sitting in different positions.  Analysis of the deceleration of the impact trolley during the test, and analysis of the deformable barrier after the test, revealed that the IONIQ 5 would be a benign impact partner in a frontal collision. In the full-width rigid barrier test, good protection was provided to all critical body areas of the driver and at least adequate protection for the rear passenger. In both the side barrier test and the more severe side pole impacts, protection of all critical body areas was good or adequate. The IONIQ 5 has a centre airbag to mitigate occupant to occupant injuries in the event of a lateral collision.  In Euro NCAP’s test, the airbag worked well, with good protection of the dummies’ heads.  Limitation of the extent to which a body is thrown to the other side of the car in a side impact was rated as marginal.  Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated good protection against whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision.  A geometric analysis of the rear seats also indicated good whiplash protection.  The IONIQ 5 has, as standard, an advanced emergency call system which alerts the emergency services in the event of a crash. The car also applies the brakes after a collision to prevent secondary impacts.
