Safety Features of Hyundai IONIQ Electric:

  • The Hyundai IONIQ Electric comes with some of advanced sensors to cater to the following features
    • Forward Collision-avoidance Assist (FCA): By analyzing the information from the front radar and camera, this system can estimate the likelihood of a collision with a car, pedestrian, or cyclist, and issue warning signals while also providing automatic braking assistance to help the driver avoid or mitigate an accident.
    • Lane Keeping Assist (LKA): The front view camera is capable of detecting lane markers and road edges, which helps to prevent unintentional lane departures. If the vehicle starts to stray from its lane or road, the system will trigger a visual and sound alarm, and can even automatically steer the vehicle back into its lane or road to avoid an accident.
    • Lane Following Assist (LFA): Using a front view camera mounted on the windshield, the system is able to detect lane markers on the road and assist the driver’s steering to help keep the vehicle centered between the lanes.
    • Smart cruise control (SCC): If the system detects a vehicle in your lane ahead, it will automatically slow down your IONIQ while maintaining a safe distance from the vehicle ahead, and can even bring the vehicle to a complete stop without any input from the driver.
    • Safety Power Window Controls: To enhance safety, the sensors are programmed to automatically lower the windows by 150 mm if they detect any obstructions in the frame.
    • 7-airbag system: In the event of an unexpected incident, the ultimate safeguard is provided by seven airbags. The front-row occupants are protected by a pair of front airbags, while additional thorax protection is provided by a pair of side airbags. The driver also benefits from a knee airbag for added protection. Full-length curtain airbags are also installed to defend against side collisions and provide head protection for front and second-row occupants.
