The Hyundai Sonata’s Newest Safety Features

While safety has always been a consideration for car buyers, modern driver-assist technology has increased safety to an entirely new level. The Hyundai Sonata is a great example of what’s possible when an auto dealership focuses on building a safe and reliable car.

The Hyundai Sonata starts with a foundation build for safer travels. That’s why it earned a perfect five-star crash test rating from the NHTSA. It was also named a Top Safety Pick by the IIHS.

When you factor in Hyundai’s SmartSense package of driver-assist features, you’ll see why the Hyundai Sonata is one of the most secure vehicles on the road.

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection

Using a forward camera and radar, your Sonata can detect other vehicles or pedestrians that in your path. The system will provide a warning or even apply automatic emergency brakes to ensure you stop in time.

Remote Smart Parking Assist

Your Hyundai Sonata can now completely park itself, even if you’re not inside of the vehicle. It can easily back into or pull out of a parking space with just the push of a button on your SmartKey.

Safe Exit Warning

The newly released safe exit warning system provides an alert if oncoming traffic is detected from behind when you’re exiting your Sonata. It’s like having an extra set of eyes on the back of your sedan.

Lane Following Assist

The forward camera (on the windshield) can now detect lane markers on the road. This system helps keep you in the middle of your lane with basic steering adjustments.

Rear Occupant Alert

Thanks to the ROA system, you’ll get a reminder to check your back seats before leaving your car. This ensures that no child or pet is ever left behind.

Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist

If you’re in reverse, the RCCA system will alert you if a car is approaching from the left or right. It can even automatically apply your breaks to avoid a collision.

High Beam Assist

Instead of having to constantly turn your high beams on and off while driving, the HBA system can manage your headlights automatically. It can detect oncoming vehicles and when those cars are gone and enact your high or low beams accordingly.

Driver Attention Warning

Your Hyundai Sonata can actually learn your driving habits. The system monitors your driving to detect if you’re drowsy or distracted. It provides gentle alerts to get your attention back to where it belongs.

Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist

There’s nothing like an extra set of eyes watching your blind spot when trying to change lanes. When your turn signal is on, this system will alert you if something is in the way.

Lane Keeping Assist

With audio and visual cues, your Hyundai Sonata warns you if you drift out of your lane without signaling. It can also apply corrective steering to help keep you in line.

Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go

After you set your speed, this smart cruise control keeps you at a safe distance from the vehicles in front of you by automatically adjusting your speed to match traffic.

Highway Driving Assist

HDA is the ultimate co-pilot on the highway. It combines several systems to keep you in the center of your lane at a safe distance from forward vehicles. It can even help keep you at the correct speed via GPS and highway data.
