6. 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe (Midsize SUVs)
Sport utility vehicles (SUVs) are not traditionally known for their top safety features and technologies, but here are a few makes and models that truly stand out. A perfect example of this is the 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe, a powerful and stylish vehicle that is also loaded with top safety features. Hyundai is no stranger to safe cars offered in the market, and it’s the manufacturer behind the highly successful Sonata, another IIHS safety pick. Starting at $30,800, the Santa Fe has been a consistent selection for many families looking for a dependable SUV for long trips in the country side with ample room for versatility and comfort. But what truly makes the mark for Santa Fe is its loaded safety features, allowing this Hyundai SUV to own the respected IIHS Top Safety Pick +. This SUV scored well on different crash tests, with only the roll over test failing to get the 5-star mark that should have allowed the Hyundai Santa to earn a complete safety sweep.
