We are yet to see how similar the Tucson will be that is sold in India as compared to what is sold internationally. Nevertheless, in the conducted crash test, the SUV scored 86 percent score in adult occupation safety while the score in child safety tests recorded a percentage higher score of 87 percent. The top rating validates Tucson’s safety feature list which included forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, driver attention alert, and many more.

However, when it came to Vulnerable Road User testing, the 2021 Tucson faired a comparatively low score of 66 percent. For AEB Pedestrian the SUV scored a little over half and attained 5.1 points of the total 9 points. For AEB Cyclist the rating was slightly better at 7.2 points of the 9 available.
