Safety Features of the 2024 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid

There are a lot of impressive things about the 2024 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid. With standard HTRAC all-wheel drive, a stunning fuel economy of up to 38 mpg highway, and a roomy and comfortable interior for both people and cargo, it’s an outstanding SUV overall. Yet perhaps the most important area in which the 2024 Tucson Hybrid excels is safety. Here are just a few of the features that help Tucson families sleep soundly at night. 

Safety Features of the 2024 Tucson Hybrid

1. Five-Star Crash Safety

With over 2.2 million Americans injured in car crashes every year, vehicle safety is a top priority in car purchasing. Thankfully, the 2024 Tucson received outstanding marks in crash safety. The NHTSA gave the 2024 Tucson a five-star rating in overall crashworthiness, and the IIHS gave it the top rating of Good in all crashworthiness categories alongside a prestigious Top Safety Pick+ award. That means Tucson Hybrid drivers are well-protected should the worst occur. 

2. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist

Part of the Hyundai SmartSense suite of driver assistance technologies, the 2024 Tucson Hybrid is equipped with collision-avoidance assistance that can detect and brake for both pedestrians and cyclists. Moreover, the system offers junction turning detection, helping prevent T-bone collisions when turning left in intersections. 

3. Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go

One of the biggest factors in highway safety is following distance, the space between your vehicle and the one ahead. The 2024 Tucson Hybrid’s Smart Cruise Control feature determines and maintains a safe following distance from the vehicle ahead and can bring the Tucson to a complete stop if traffic hits a snarl. It can even reactivate itself if the vehicle in front stops, then moves within 3 seconds of stopping. 

4. Driver Attention Warning

Parents with teens who are learning to drive will be relieved to know that the Tucson Hybrid watches out for driver attention, helping encourage the driver to keep their eyes on the road. Drowsy or inattentive driving will trigger an audible alert and a warning message to encourage focus and, if needed, brakes. 

5. Lane Following Assist and Lane Keeping Assist

Using front-mounted cameras, the 2024 Tucson Hybrid’s Lane Following Assist system detects lane markers on the road and adjusts steering to assist the driver in keeping centered in the lane. If your vehicle continues to drift, the Lane Keeping Assist system offers visual, audio, and haptic feedback to help prevent drifting, and can even apply gentle corrective steering. 

With outstanding crash safety, driver assistance technology, and the awards to prove it, the 2024 Tucson Hybrid is an excellent choice for a safe and roomy family SUV. But don’t take our word for it!
