At Gossett Hyundai South in Memphis, Tennessee, we're proud of every Hyundai vehicle we sell - and there's a very good reason for this. From the smallest car to the biggest SUV, Hyundai vehicles consistently win the industry's top awards for safety, high quality, and value.

Hyundai makes safety a top priority, and this is reflected in our lineup's many TOP SAFETY PICK and TOP SAFETY PICK+ awards from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

For the 2021 model year, seven Hyundai models won IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK honors: the Veloster hatchback, the Elantra sedan, the Sonata sedan, the Kona subcompact SUV, the Venue subcompact SUV, the Tucson compact SUV, and the Santa Fe midsize SUV. To win this award, a vehicle must pass six strict crash tests with "good" scores. These tests study three frontal crash angles, side impacts, roof strength, and the effectiveness of head restraints and seats in preventing injuries. In addition, winners also must offer "superior" or "advanced" vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian crash prevention systems and come available with "good" or "acceptable" headlights.

Two 2021 Hyundai models, the Palisade three-row SUV and the Nexo Fuel Cell SUV, achieved the status of TOP SAFETY PICK+. This is the highest rating handed out by IIHS. To be named a TOP SAFETY PICK+, a vehicle is required to meet all TOP SAFETY PICK crashworthiness and crash prevention standards. It must also offer "good" or "acceptable" headlights as standard on every trim level.

When you buy a Hyundai vehicle, you can be confident that you're getting great value. This is especially true for the Hyundai Venue and the Hyundai Elantra, which both won 2021 Kelley Blue Book 5-Year Cost to Own honors. This award measures how much it costs to own a vehicle over five years, including depreciation, fuel costs, repairs, and many other factors.

The Venue won in the Best Subcompact SUV category for the second year in a row. For 2021, KBB praised the Venue's fuel efficiency of up to 31 combined mpg*, its many standard safety and infotainment features, and its mix of affordable pricing and high value. Like every other Hyundai vehicle, the Venue comes with a standard 10-year/100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty, making it an even better buy.

The newly redesigned 2021 Elantra was named KBB's Best Compact Car. This is an especially competitive segment, making the Elantra's victory even more impressive. The Elantra boasts excellent fuel economy for both gas and hybrid models, strong resale value, modest repair costs, strong warranty coverage, and an inexpensive starting price - and KBB took notice of all these qualities.

Autotrader's annual list of the 10 Best Cars for Recent College Grads singles out new and used vehicles that deliver great safety and reliability scores, at least 30 mpg combined, and a starting price of under $25,000. For 2021, the 2018-2020 Hyundai Kona came in at No. 4. It's the second year in a row that the Kona has made the list.

This subcompact SUV precisely measures up to Autotrader's fuel-efficiency requirements, with all front-wheel-drive models delivering 30 mpg** in combined city/highway driving. Satisfying another top Autotrader standard, a pre-owned Kona can easily be found for less than $25,000 - and sometimes less than $20,000. The Kona also delivers plenty of advanced safety and infotainment features, a comfortable and practical interior, and fun styling touches like Surf Blue and Lime Twist paint options.
