ANCAP Safety Report (PDF)

The tested model of Hyundai Tucson was introduced in Australia during 2006. The Australian model has a 2.7 litre petrol engine.

Vehicles tested after 1 January 2008 require Electronic Stability Control in order achieve a 5 star rating. This vehicle was tested prior to this date and may or may not meet this new requirement.

The diesel left-hand-drive European model was tested by Euro NCAP. Australasian specifications may vary and therefore models sold in Australasia might provide different levels of protection to those described on this page.

Dual front airbags and ABS/EBD brakes are standard equipment. Side airbags and head-protecting side curtains are standard on the Elite variant but are not available on the base variant. The front seat belt buckles are mounted on the seats and the upper anchorages are adjustable. These features improve the fit of the seat belt. Pre-tensioners are fitted to the front seat belts to reduce slack in the event of a crash. A three point seat belt is fitted to the centre rear seat. This provides better protection than a two point seat belt.
