The 2019 Hyundai Nexo has taken a small step for a Korean automaker, and a giant leap for public acceptance of hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles.
The Nexo is the first fuel-cell vehicle to go through the full battery of Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) crash tests — and it did well.
The Hyundai achieved the highest-possible rating of Top Safety Pick+, although that only applies to vehicles built after June 2019.
The safety award could be a major coup for Hyundai and other makers of hydrogen cars.
While all vehicles sold in the United States must meet certain safety standards, no hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles prior to the Nexo had undergone testing to earn safety ratings from the IIHS or the federal National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
IIHS and NHTSA crash-test scores are often used by carbuyers looking to judge the safety of potential purchases, but that data hasn’t been available to anyone shopping for a fuel-cell car.
You've probably heard people express safety concerns about hydrogen fuel-cell electric vehicles, because of the tank of compressed flammable gas under the body.
The IIHS announced on Thursday that the 2019 Hyundai Nexo has picked up the IIHS' highest accolade, Top Safety Pick+.
However, this only applies to models built after June 2019, when Hyundai adjusted the headlights' factory aim for better visibility in curves.
Models built prior to June 2019 are only eligible for the penultimate award, Top Safety Pick.
The Nexo received the highest rating of Good in every crash test, including the tricky new test, passenger-side small overlap front, which mirrors a driver-side test to ensure automakers are equally protecting both occupants.
The Nexo also received a Good rating in every crash test's subcategories, save for two, where it was rated the second-best Acceptable.
