MAKING A SAFER CAR WITH THE
BEST TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE
Safety technology is the most important of all automobile
technologies. Hyundai Motor is developing various safety
enhancement systems in order to provide the best possible
protection for people inside and outside of Hyundai Motor
cars, in all possible situations.
Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC), Advanced Traction
Cornering Control (ATCC), Vehicle Stability Management
(VSM), and Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) are
examples of Hyundai Motor’s latest safety systems.
Hyundai Motor is also conducting collision performance
tests to further improve its safety performance rating.
51.2 : 48.8 51.5%
IDEAL FRONT AND REAR WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION IN CAR BODY
Hyundai Motor has achieved 51.2 : 48.8 front-to-rear weight distribution, an
ideal yet extremely difficult to achieve ratio, ensuring exceptional drivability.
The wheelbase was extended with reduced overhang at both the front and
rear. However, the length of the front hood was increased to achieve a
more dynamic profile. High speed operation stability was also improved with
improved aerodynamics. (Genesis G330 with panoramic sunroof)
CREATING A STRONGER YET LIGHTER CAR BODY
The vehicle body is the skeleton of an automobile, which not only houses and supports
the vehicle components but also protect the passengers. Body design is also essential
to achieving an aesthetically pleasing exterior design. Engineers at Hyundai Motor are
doing they utmost to ensure maximum safety for all of the occupants, applying their
ingenuity and the latest technologies in every way possible.
USE OF ADVANCED HIGH STRENGTH STEEL
High structural rigidity is key to improved durability and collision
safety. Hyundai Motor is increasing the use of Advanced High
Strength Steel (AHSS) with tensile strength above 60kg which is
lighter than regular steel but more than twice as strong. In addition,
the use of parts made using an advanced hot-stamping method has
increased and dual sectional structure was applied as well, in order to
achieve better ride quality and smoother handling, ultimately creating
a premium drivability. (Genesis)
