Model History and Safety Features
The tested model of Hyundai i45 was introduced in
Australasia during 2010. This rating applies to all i45 built
from September 2010, when several production changes
were introduced.
Dual front airbags, side airbags and head-protecting side
curtains are standard equipment. Antilock brakes (ABS),
electronic brake distribution (EBD), emergency brake assist
and electronic stability control (ESC) are also standard.
Advanced seat belt reminders are fitted to both front seats.
Pretensioners are fitted to the front seat belts to reduce
slack in the event of a crash. A three point seat belt is fitted
to the centre rear seat. This provides better protection than
a two point (lap) seat belt.
OCCUPANT PROTECTION: 5 Stars
The HYUNDAI i45 scored 14.57 out of 16 in the offset
crash test. The passenger compartment held its shape
well. There was a slight risk of serious chest and leg injury
for the driver and a slight risk of lower leg injury for the
passenger.
The vehicle scored 14.96 out of 16 in the side impact crash
test. There was a slight risk of serious chest injury for the
driver.

FRONTAL OFFSET CRASH TEST
Body region scores out of 4 points each: Head/neck 4.0
pts, chest 3.46 pts, upper legs 4.0 pts, lower legs 3.11 pts.
The passenger compartment held its shape well in the
offset crash test. The brake pedal moved rearwards by 40
mm. The accelerator pedal moved upwards 38 mm. The
steering wheel hub moved 40mm forward, 6 mm upward
and 3 mm sideways. The front ("A") pillar moved 17 mm
rearwards. All doors remained closed during the crash.
After the crash all doors could be opened with normal
effort.
The airbag cushioned the head of the driver and contact
was stable. There were no knee hazards. The passenger's
head was cushioned by the airbag.
SIDE IMPACT CRASH TEST
Body region scores out of 4 points each: Head 4.0 pts,
chest 2.96 pts, abdomen 4.0 pts, pelvis 4.0 pts.
The vehicle was eligible for an optional pole impact test.
The manufacturer decided to go ahead with the pole test
and the vehicle earned a further two points.
PEDESTRIAN PROTECTION: MARGINAL
The i45 obtained good results for two thirds of the child
head area and a third of the adult head area. It received
partial points for the full leg, but performed poorly in the
upper leg tests.
