Hyundai Ioniq 9 earns 2025 TSP+ rating from IIHS

MANILA: The Hyundai Ioniq 9 has earned the 2025 Top Safety Pick Plus (TSP+) rating from the US-based Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). 

According to the Korean carmaker’s report, the Ioniq 9 earned the highest possible “Good” rating from all of IIHS’ test categories, which include front and side crash protection, and forward collision prevention. 

The aforementioned is a noteworthy milestone for Hyundai as IIHS has recently made its battery of tests more rigorous. In particular, its improved front collision test now uses a child-sized (or small female-sized) dummy in the rear seat. The aforementioned Hyundai nameplate passed this said test with a “Good” rating - a requirement for the 2025 TSP+. 

On that note, the Ioniq 9 joins the long line of Hyundai and Kia nameplates produced by Hyundai Motor Company that have already achieved a TSP+ safety rating from the IIHS. These include: 

• Hyundai Ioniq 5
• Hyundai Ioniq 6
• Hyundai Kona
• Hyundai Tucson
• Hyundai Santa Fe
• Hyundai Elantra
• Hyundai Sonata
• Kia EV9
• Kia Telluride
• Kia Sportage
