Other crash tests include moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraint tests. Cars 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 tests in order to earn the award. Critically, good- or acceptable-rated headlights must also be installed. This is why only the Limited trim of Elantra and Santa Fe got the award, plus the Calligraphy trim in Santa Fe.
Alert readers will note those trim levels are American trims. The top-tier Ultimate trim is the Canadian equivalent on Elantra; look for the snazzy Ultimate Calligraphy if shopping Santa Fe in this country.
