Hyundai-Kia, Volkswagen win most 'top safety pick' awards from insurance
industry group
Ken Thomas, Associated Press, On Wednesday December 22, 2010, 9:58 am EST
WASHINGTON (AP) -- South Korean automakers Hyundai and Kia and German car
maker Volkswagen lead the insurance industry's annual list of the safest new
vehicles, used by safety-minded consumers looking to buy a new car.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety recognized 66 vehicles on
Wednesday with its "top safety pick award" for the 2011 model year, the most
-ever awarded by the Virginia-based group. The number was more than double
the 27 vehicles selected last year.
Hyundai Motor Corp. and its affiliate Kia Motors Corp., and Volkswagen AG
and its Audi brand received the most awards with nine, followed by eight
awards apiece by General Motors Co., Ford Motor Co. and Toyota Motor Corp.
The awards, used in advertising to attract car buyers, bolster Hyundai and
Volkswagen as they attempt to build a larger foothold in the United States.
Hyundai's Genesis sedan, Sonata midsize and Santa Fe and Tucson sport
utility vehicles picked up awards, while Kia was recognized for the Optima
midsize car, the Forte and Soul small cars, and the Sorento and Sportage
SUVs. Volkswagen won plaudits for the Jetta and Jetta SportWagen, the Golf
and GTI small cars and the Touareg and Tiguan SUVs. Audi's A3 and A4 sedans
and Q5 SUV also made the list.
Subaru and Chrysler received five awards apiece while Volvo and Mercedes had
four. Subaru was the only automaker to win awards in every vehicle category
in which it competes. Nissan and Honda had two awards each and Mitsubishi
and BMW had one.
Hyundai said the award was particularly sweet for the Sonata, which also
received the top score of five stars in the government's crash test program.
The combination put Sonata "in a safety position unsurpassed in the
industry," said John Krafcik, president and CEO of Hyundai Motor America.
Mark Barnes, Volkswagen of America's chief operating officer, said the
recognition for VW was a "testament to our commitment to engineering safe
vehicles."
GM's winners include the Chevrolet Malibu, Cruze and Equinox; Cadillac CTS
and SRX; Buick LaCrosse and Regal and GMC Terrain. Chris Perry, vice
president of Chevrolet marketing, said the award would build on "the already
strong global safety reputation of the Cruze."
Ford's picks include the Ford Taurus, Fusion, Fiesta, Explorer and Flex; and
the Lincoln MKS, MKZ and MKT. Ford vice president Sue Cischke said the
Explorer, which arrived at dealer showrooms earlier this month, offered a
good example of the company's safety improvements, including inflatable seat
belts and technology that helps a driver maintain control of the vehicle
along tough curves.
Toyota, which has grappled with several high-profile recalls during the past
year, scored with the Toyota Avalon, Corolla, Sienna, Highlander and Venza;
the Lexus RX; and the Scion tC and xB. Toyota said its eight safety picks
were "reflective of our ongoing commitment to developing safe and reliable
vehicles for our customers."
The vehicles were chosen for protection in front, side and rear crash tests.
To qualify for the award, the insurance industry group also requires the
vehicles to have anti-rollover electronic stability control, or ESC, and
receive top scores in roof strength tests.
Institute president Adrian Lund credited automakers for "quickly rising to
meet the more-challenging criteria for `Top Safety Pick.'" He said several
automakers have requested tests for new models coming out early next year
and Lund predicted more winners would be added.
