FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., Dec. 16, 2025 – The 2026 Hyundai Palisade has been awarded a 2025 TOP SAFETY PICK (TSP) designation by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Hyundai leads the industry with 10 TSP/TSP+ ratings (8 TSP+ and 2 TSP) for 2025. The TSP and TSP+ awards identify the best vehicle choices for safety within their vehicle categories by IIHS.
“The 2026 Hyundai Palisade offers a suite of new safety technologies including available built-in-dual camera dash cam, ten airbags, third-row seatbelt pre-tensioners and load limiters, “said Cole Stutz, chief safety officer, Hyundai Motor North America. “Hyundai continues to enhance occupant protection and crash-prevention performance in our products to protect occupants in all types of roadway situations.”
Palisade Safety Features
The 2026 Hyundai Palisade has earned an IIHS 2025 TOP SAFETY PICK thanks to its advanced safety engineering and comprehensive SmartSense suite of driver-assist technologies. Standard features include Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist , Blind-Spot Collision Warning , Safe Exit Assist , and Remote Smart Parking Assist , among others. With ten airbags, including third-row coverage, and seat belt pretensioners for all rows, Palisade sets a new benchmark for occupant protection. Its robust structure, built with Advanced High Strength Steel, enhances crash energy absorption while reducing weight. Additional innovations like Advanced Rear Occupant a-lert further demonstrate Hyundai’s commitment to passenger safety.
2025 TSP/TSP+ Award Criteria
The 2025 IIHS test criteria now has more stringent requirements for second-row occupant safety. To earn a 2025 TSP/TSP+ award, vehicles must earn good ratings in the small overlap front and updated side tests as well as an acceptable or good rating in the pedestrian front crash prevention evaluation, which gauges performance in both daytime and nighttime conditions. All trims must be equipped with acceptable- or good-rated headlights. An acceptable rating in the updated moderate overlap front test is enough to qualify for TSP, but a good rating is required for TSP+.
