- Hyundai Motor Group Earns 15 IIHS Top Safety Awards Across Hyundai, Kia and Genesis Brands
- Most TSP and TSP+ Ratings Among All Automotive Groups for Second Consecutive Year
- Recognized for Excellence in Rear Occupant Protection Under Stricter 2025 IIHS Criteria
SEOUL, South Korea, June 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Hyundai Motor Group (the Group) has reaffirmed its leadership in vehicle safety, achieving the highest number of models awarded in the 2025 Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) crash test evaluations.
A total of 15 models across Hyundai Motor Company, Kia Corporation and Genesis have earned either 2025 TOP SAFETY PICK (TSP) or TOP SAFETY PICK+ (TSP+) designation. This includes seven Hyundai models, five Genesis models, and three Kia models, marking the second consecutive year the Group has received the most IIHS safety awards.
In the latest round of evaluations, the 2025 Hyundai ELANTRA, SONATA and 2025 Kia K4, were awarded the coveted TSP+ rating, joining existing models such as the 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5, IONIQ 6, KONA, TUCSON, and SANTA FE; the Genesis GV60, Electrified GV70, GV70, GV80; and the 2025 Kia EV9 and Telluride. The 2025 Genesis G90 currently holds a TSP rating.
The IIHS enhanced its crash test criteria for 2025, introducing more stringent requirements for second-row occupant protection. In the updated moderate overlap front test, dummies representing 12-year-old children or small female passengers are placed in the rear seats to assess injury risk more realistically. To qualify for a TSP+ rating, vehicles must now earn a "good" rating in this test, while a rating of "acceptable" is required for TSP.
To earn a 2025 TSP or TSP+ rating, vehicles must also:
- Earn "good" ratings in both the small overlap front and updated side impact crash tests
- Receive at least an "acceptable" rating in daytime and nighttime pedestrian front crash prevention evaluations
- Be equipped, across all trim levels, with headlights rated "acceptable" or better
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) is an independent, nonprofit scientific and educational organization dedicated to reducing deaths, injuries and property damage from motor vehicle crashes through research and evaluation and through education of consumers, policymakers and safety professionals. Its TSP and TSP+ ratings are widely cited in the North American auto industry by consumers, media and analysts alike.

Hyundai Motor Group Tops Rankings in 2025 IIHS Top Safety Awards
SINGAPORE, Jan. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- OMOWAY, a pioneer in two-wheeled smart mobility, has successfully closed consecutive Pre-A and Pre-A+ funding rounds, raising tens of millions of US dollars. The investment was led by HONGSHAN and ROCKET CAPITAL, with continued co-investment from existing backers including ZhenFund, Hui Capital, and founder Todd He.
The funding will support the mass production and delivery of OMOWAY's flagship product, the OMO X, continued development of its core intelligent technologies, and global market expansion.
One of OMOWAY's key innovations lies in bringing self-balancing technology from prototype to mass production. By deeply integrating software control, AI algorithms, and electronic architecture, the OMO X enables smooth, almost imperceptible balance assistance at low speeds. Riders can remain stable during stop-and-go traffic without putting their feet down, significantly lowering the learning curve and reducing fatigue.
With its flagship OMO X completing pre-production validation and entering the final stages of strategic preparation for commercial launch, OMOWAY is set to become the world's first company to mass-produce and deliver a self-balancing smart electric motorcycle.
OMOWAY positions the OMO X as a new category of intelligent two-wheelers. By combining its self-balancing system with AI-based perception, the vehicle can detect potential risks, issue safety alerts, intervene when necessary, and maintain stability in low-speed scenarios such as hill-hold control. The company refers to this evolution as the shift from a traditional motorcycle to a "MotoRobot."
The OMO X will launch first in Indonesia. OMOWAY has partnered with more than ten local distributors, establishing a foundation for entry into one of the world's most demanding motorcycle markets. "Established local dealers know exactly what the market needs," remarked Yulong Chen, General Manager of OMOWAY Indonesia.
Designed for global use from day one, OMOWAY sees Southeast Asia as a key region for real-world rollout. Through continuous iteration in real-world use, the company aims to deliver safer, smarter, and more comfortable two-wheeled mobility worldwide.
About OMOWAY:
OMOWAY is a global intelligent technology company dedicated to innovating full-stack, self-developed auto-grade technologies for the two-wheeler sector and beyond. Driven by user-centric design, OMOWAY is committed to creating a new generation of smart mobility solutions that are smarter, safer, and more comfortable.
To date, OMOWAY has secured tens of millions of dollars in funding from prestigious investors including HongShan, ZhenFund, and HUI Capital.
