Important: Frontal crash test ratings should be compared only among vehicles of similar weight.
The Hyundai Sonata was redesigned for the 2015 model year.
Structure
The driver space was maintained well, with maximum intrusion of the lower interior of 11 cm at the lower hinge pillar. Upper interior intrusion measured 4-6 cm at the hinge pillar and instrument panel.
Injury measures
A high head acceleration occurred when the dummy's head hit the steering wheel through the left side of the airbag, indicating that head injuries would be possible in a crash of this severity. The risk of significant injuries to other body regions is low.
Restraints and dummy kinematics
The dummy's face remained in contact with the frontal airbag, but its head still rolled around the left side of the steering wheel toward the A-pillar because the seat belt allowed excessive forward excursion of the head and torso. The side curtain airbag deployed and had sufficient forward coverage to protect the head from contact with side structure and outside objects. The side torso airbag also deployed.
