The new for 2011 Hyundai Equus, a large luxury car, earns top ratings across the board in the Institute's safety evaluations, qualifying as a Top Safety Pick.
The Equus is rated good for front, side, rollover, and rear crash protection, and it has electronic stability control, another requirement for earning the Institute's highest accolade.
In the Institute's roof strength test for rollover protection, the roof of the Equus withstood a force equal to 4.87 times the car's weight. Vehicles with a strength-to-weight ratio of 4 or higher earn a good rating in the Institute's test. By comparison, the current federal standard is 1.5 times weight.
