As part of our growing value equation with the safety-conscious buyer in mind, we aim to make our future vehicles among the safest in North America.

Sonata
The new 2011 Hyundai Sonata is the most contemporary and smartest machine we've ever built. A reinforced body structure, six air bags and a weath of advanced safety technology are the reasons why the Sonata is one of the safest cars in its class.

The all-new 2011 Hyundai Sonata joins an elite group of motor vehicles as a “Top Safety Pick” of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

Sonata is built from the ground up with safety in mind, with a hot stamped ultra-high-strength steel body structure, advanced airbag technology and Electronic Stability Control (ESC), delivering on Hyundai’s commitment to both active and passive safety technology leadership. In 2005, the Sonata was the first popular midsize sedan to standardize ESC - once again every 2011 Sonata has lifesaving ESC as standard equipment. This is important because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has reported that ESC results in 35 percent fewer single-vehicle crashes and 30 percent fewer single-vehicle fatalities in passenger cars.
