Hyundai Leads the Way in 2025 IIHS Safety Awards: What Fayetteville Drivers Need to Know
At Crain Hyundai of Fayetteville, we know that safety matters—especially when you’re driving around Northwest Arkansas with your family, friends, or pets in tow. That’s why we’re proud to announce that Hyundai has earned five 2025 Top Safety Pick+ awards from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). These honors reflect Hyundai’s commitment to protecting all passengers—not just those in the front seat, but also those in the back. As winners of these prestigious awards, Hyundai vehicles have excelled in various safety evaluations, making them some of the best choices for safety within their size categories.
Whether you’re navigating traffic on College Avenue, heading out to the trails around Lake Fayetteville, or taking a weekend road trip to Devil’s Den, you can drive with confidence knowing Hyundai is building vehicles with your safety in mind.
What’s New for 2025? IIHS Raises the Bar
Each year, IIHS updates its testing standards to make vehicles safer than ever. For 2025, the biggest change involves a more rigorous evaluation for second-row passenger safety. This updated moderate overlap front crash test now includes a second dummy seated behind the driver—representing a smaller adult or child—to evaluate how well back-seat passengers are protected during a crash.
Here’s what it now takes to qualify:
- Top Safety Pick: Requires at least an acceptable rating in the new rear-seat crash test.
- Top Safety Pick+: Requires a good rating in that same test.
These tests highlight a key concern. Many modern vehicles do a great job protecting front-seat occupants but lag behind when it comes to second-row safety. IIHS is pushing automakers to close that gap—and Hyundai is leading the charge.
Additional 2025 IIHS requirements include:
- Good ratings in the updated side crash test and small overlap front crash test
- Acceptable or good performance in pedestrian crash prevention (day and night)
- Good rated headlights on all available trims
Hyundai’s 2025 Safety Superstars
Even with the tougher standards, five Hyundai models earned the top-tier Top Safety Pick+ rating:
- 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 (Electric)
- 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6 (Electric)
- 2025 Hyundai Kona (Gas model only)
- 2025 Hyundai Tucson and Tucson Hybrid
- 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe and Santa Fe Hybrid*(built after November 2024)*
These awards aren’t handed out lightly. Each vehicle was put through a battery of crash tests and real-world safety evaluations conducted under the New Car Assessment Program (NCAP)—and came out on top. Extensive research by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) plays a crucial role in these evaluations, ensuring that safety standards are rigorously maintained.
Hyundai Motor Group: Leading the Industry
It’s not just Hyundai that’s racking up safety awards. Hyundai’s sister brands—Kia and Genesis—also performed exceptionally well. Together, Hyundai Motor Group claimed a total of 12 Top Safety Pick or Pick+ awards, making it the #1 safety leader in the industry for 2025.
Organizations like the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), a nonprofit scientific entity, play a crucial role in evaluating and promoting vehicle safety standards.
This isn’t a one-time win—Hyundai Motor Group has a proven track record of building safer vehicles year after year. They consistently earn high marks across multiple safety categories. Safety professionals at IIHS emphasize the importance of reducing deaths and injuries from motor vehicle crashes. Hyundai Motor Group’s commitment to safety aligns with this mission.
Built with Your Safety in Mind
Hyundai doesn’t just meet the safety standards—they exceed them by designing with real families in mind. That’s why so many of their award-winning vehicles include Hyundai SmartSense, a collection of advanced safety features that work together to protect you from every angle by integrating advanced technology.
These features include:
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist – Helps prevent accidents with vehicles or pedestrians
- Blind-Spot Collision Warning – Alerts you when vehicles are in your blind spot
- Lane Keeping Assist – Helps you stay centered in your lane
- Rear Occupant Alert – Reminds you to check the back seat before exiting
- Side airbags for rear passengers – Adds extra protection during a crash
Hyundai vehicles are also rigorously tested for crashworthiness, ensuring they meet and exceed federal safety standards.
“We want every passenger—front or back—to be safe,” Cole Stutz, Hyundai’s Chief Safety Officer, said. “That’s why we’ve added better seat belts, advanced airbags, and rear occupant alert systems to many of our models.”
Why This Matters for Fayetteville Families
Fayetteville is a fast-growing, family-friendly community, and we know your vehicle has to keep up. Whether you’re:
- Commuting to the University of Arkansas
- Driving the kids to school and soccer practice
- Heading out for a weekend at Beaver Lake
You want a car that’s ready for anything. Safety isn’t just about surviving a crash—it’s about preventing one altogether and minimizing injuries if one occurs. And that’s where Hyundai excels.
As IIHS President David Harkey put it, “Every vehicle that earns a 2025 award offers a high level of safety in both the front seat and the second row.”
This focus on safety is crucial in reducing deaths and injuries. That means families, solo drivers, and first-time car buyers can all trust Hyundai to deliver peace of mind behind the wheel.

The 2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz is a unique vehicle that blends the practicality of a pickup with the comfort of an SUV. Designed for both work and play, it offers reliable performance, impressive towing capacity, and a capable all-wheel-drive (AWD) system.
At Crain Hyundai of Fayetteville, we are excited to showcase the Santa Cruz, a truck built for adventure, hauling, and everyday driving. Let’s take a closer look at its reliability, towing power, and AWD performance.
A Reliable Truck for Everyday Driving
Hyundai has a strong reputation for building dependable vehicles. The 2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz continues that tradition. Owners can expect smooth handling, durable construction, and fuel-efficient performance.
The Santa Cruz comes with two engine options:
- A 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine with 191 horsepower, ideal for daily driving and fuel efficiency.
- A turbocharged 2.5-liter engine with 281 horsepower. It offers extra power for towing and highway acceleration.
Each engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. This delivers smooth gear shifts and efficient fuel use. The turbocharged version comes with an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. This allows for quick, precise shifting and a sportier feel.
With proper maintenance, the Santa Cruz is expected to last between 150,000 and 200,000 miles. This makes it a smart long-term investment. Hyundai also backs it with an industry-leading 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
Towing Capability: What Can the Santa Cruz Haul?
The 2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz may be a compact truck, but it delivers serious towing power. Depending on the engine choice, drivers can tow a wide variety of trailers, boats, and outdoor equipment.
- The base 2.5L engine can tow up to 3,500 pounds, which is enough for small trailers, lightweight campers, and jet skis.
- The turbocharged 2.5L engine increases the towing capacity to 5,000 pounds, putting it on par with many midsize trucks.
With this kind of strength, the Santa Cruz is a great choice for weekend getaways. It can handle:
- Fishing boats or jet skis for lake trips.
- ATVs and motorcycles for off-road fun.
- Small campers or utility trailers for road trips and moving gear.
To make towing easier, the Santa Cruz comes with trailer pre-wiring. This allows drivers to easily connect trailer lights and brakes. Tow Mode, available on the turbocharged model, adjusts transmission shifts and throttle response for better towing performance.
AWD Performance: Confidence in Any Condition
The Santa Cruz offers available HTRAC AWD, giving drivers more stability and control in rain, snow, and rough terrain. While not a traditional four-wheel-drive system, HTRAC AWD automatically distributes power between the front and rear wheels to improve traction.
For those who frequently drive on gravel roads, wet highways, or icy streets, the AWD system provides:
- Better grip on slippery surfaces like mud and snow.
- Smoother handling on uneven terrain and dirt roads.
- Improved stability when towing heavy loads on steep or loose surfaces.
Drivers can manually activate AWD when extra traction is needed. This ensures better control in challenging driving conditions. Whether tackling Arkansas backroads or handling city streets in bad weather, the Santa Cruz offers confidence behind the wheel.
Built for Durability and Comfort
The Santa Cruz isn’t just about strength—it’s also built to last. Hyundai uses high-strength steel in the frame, reinforcing the truck’s durability and crash protection.
Inside, the Santa Cruz offers a comfortable cabin with practical materials:
- Stain-resistant seating that holds up to spills and daily wear.
- A leather-wrapped steering wheel for a premium feel.
- A composite-molded truck bed, which resists dents and rust better than traditional steel beds.
For added convenience, the Santa Cruz’s bed includes built-in storage compartments. This allows drivers to keep tools, gear, or outdoor equipment organized.
Low Maintenance Costs and Warranty Coverage
Hyundai vehicles are known for their affordability when it comes to maintenance. To help owners save on long-term costs, Hyundai provides extensive warranty coverage:
- 10-Year/100,000-Mile Powertrain Warranty
- 5-Year/60,000-Mile New Vehicle Warranty
- 3-Year/36,000-Mile Complimentary Maintenance
This level of coverage reduces unexpected repair expenses, making the Santa Cruz an even better value for drivers looking for a dependable truck.
Why the 2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz Stands Out
The 2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz is a capable, durable, and versatile truck that meets the needs of many drivers. It’s built to perform, whether hauling gear, handling rough terrain, or taking long road trips.
- Reliable Performance: Two strong engine options and a long lifespan with proper maintenance.
- Towing Strength: Up to 5,000 pounds of towing power for trailers, campers, and boats.
- HTRAC AWD Capability: Extra traction for rain, snow, and off-road conditions.
- Durable Build: High-quality materials and a dent-resistant truck bed.
- Affordable Ownership: Lower maintenance costs and class-leading warranty coverage.
At Crain Hyundai of Fayetteville, we invite you to test drive the 2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz and experience its power and reliability firsthand. Visit our dealership today to explore trim levels, financing options, and special offers.
This truck is ready for work, adventure, and everything in between.
2025 Hyundai Palisade: Tow with Confidence
The 2025 Hyundai Palisade is more than just a stylish and spacious SUV. It’s also a powerful towing machine. Whether you’re hauling a camper for a weekend getaway or towing a boat for a day on the lake, the Palisade has the strength and smart features to make towing easier and safer.
With a strong V6 engine, advanced towing technology, and key safety features, the Palisade is designed to handle the job with confidence.
At Crain Hyundai of Fayetteville, we know that towing capability matters. Let’s take a closer look at what makes the 2025 Hyundai Palisade a great choice for easily towing your gear.
How Much Can the 2025 Hyundai Palisade Tow?
The 2025 Hyundai Palisade has a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds when properly equipped with trailer brakes. That means you can tow:
- Campers and travel trailers
- Boats and jet skis
- Utility trailers for work or adventure
Your actual towing capacity may vary depending on engine power, drivetrain, and cargo load. Always check your owner’s manual for weight limits and recommendations to ensure safe towing. Overloading your vehicle can reduce performance and affect safety.
Strong Engine Power for Towing
A capable engine is essential for towing, and the 2025 Hyundai Palisade delivers with a 3.8-liter V6 that produces:
- 291 horsepower
- 262 lb.-ft. of torque
This engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, providing smooth power delivery and reliable acceleration.
For extra traction and stability, the Palisade offers HTRAC All-Wheel Drive (AWD). This system helps maintain control when towing on wet, uneven, or steep roads, giving you more confidence behind the wheel.
Towing Features That Make It Easy
The 2025 Hyundai Palisade isn’t just powerful—it’s designed to make towing simple and stress-free.
Advanced Towing Features
- Trailer Sway Control (TSC): Detects trailer sway and automatically applies brakes to stabilize the vehicle.
- Tow Mode: Adjusts throttle response and transmission shifts for a smoother towing experience.
- Trailering Pre-Wiring Makes connecting your trailer’s lights and brakes easier for safer towing.
These features work together to improve stability and control, making towing less of a hassle.
Safety Features for Towing Confidence
Towing adds extra challenges, but the Palisade’s advanced safety features help keep you and your cargo safe on the road.
Key Safety Features for Towing
- Blind-Spot View Monitor (BVM): This device provides live video of blind spots, making lane changes safer while towing.
- Surround View Monitor (SVM): Gives a 360-degree camera view, helping with parking and maneuvering a trailer.
- Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance: Detects approaching vehicles when backing up and applies brakes if needed.
With these features, you can tow confidently, knowing you have extra visibility and protection on the road.
Which Palisade Trim is Best for Towing?
Every 2025 Hyundai Palisade trim can tow up to 5,000 lbs, but higher trims include extra features that make towing even easier:
- SEL Premium and Calligraphy trims offer the Surround View Monitor (SVM) and Blind-Spot View Monitor (BVM) for better visibility.
- Calligraphy models come with HTRAC AWD, giving you better traction and stability for towing in different conditions.
While all Palisade models can handle towing, choosing a higher trim provides more convenience and control.
Best Practices for Safe Towing
To tow efficiently and safely, follow these essential tips:
- Distribute weight evenly in your trailer to maintain stability.
- Check tire pressure on both the Palisade and your trailer before driving.
- Practice turning and backing up in a safe location before heading out.
- Use Tow Mode for smoother shifts and better power distribution.
Following these steps will help ensure a safe, smooth, and hassle-free towing experience.

Choosing the Best SUV
If you’re looking for an SUV, the 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe and 2025 Toyota Highlander are two of the best options on the market. Both offer advanced technology, strong performance, and spacious interiors. But which SUV is the better fit for Fayetteville drivers?
The 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe stands out with its bold design, powerful engine choices, and available hybrid models. The Toyota Highlander, known for its reliability, also offers hybrid options but comes at a higher price. Let’s take a closer look at how these two SUVs compare.
Performance and Powertrain Options
The 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe offers two powertrain options, giving drivers flexibility in performance and fuel efficiency:
- 2.5L 4-cylinder engine with 191 horsepower, providing a balance of power and efficiency.
- Turbocharged 2.5L engine with 277 horsepower, perfect for drivers who want more power.
- Hybrid option, delivering great fuel efficiency while maintaining strong performance.
The 2025 Toyota Highlander comes with a 2.4L turbocharged engine producing 265 horsepower, as well as a hybrid model for improved fuel economy. Both SUVs offer great efficiency, but the Santa Fe’s turbo engine provides more horsepower for an engaging drive.
The Santa Fe’s advanced transmission and available hybrid model make it a strong choice for drivers who want power and efficiency in one package.
Off-Road Capability
The Hyundai Santa Fe XRT trim is built for rugged adventures. It includes:
- Off-road tires for better traction.
- Skid plates for underbody protection.
- Advanced all-wheel drive, giving confidence on rough terrain.
The Toyota Highlander offers all-wheel drive but doesn’t have an off-road-specific trim like the Santa Fe XRT. If you need an SUV that’s ready for adventure, the Santa Fe is the better choice.
Technology Features
Both the Santa Fe and Highlander come packed with modern technology, but the Santa Fe provides premium features at a more affordable price.
2025 Hyundai Santa Fe Highlights:
- Standard 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
- Available 12.3-inch digital display and infotainment screen.

2025 Toyota Highlander Highlights:
- A 12.3-inch touchscreen is standard on higher trims.

While the Highlander has a larger touchscreen in higher trims, the Santa Fe delivers comparable technology at a lower price.
Interior Space and Comfort
The 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe offers a spacious interior with seating for up to seven passengers.
Premium features include:
- Quilted leather seats, providing a high-end feel.
- A panoramic sunroof, bringing in natural light.
- Generous cargo space, making it perfect for groceries, luggage, or outdoor gear.
The 2025 Toyota Highlander can seat up to eight passengers, but its third row is tighter and less comfortable for adults.
For drivers who want a roomy, luxurious cabin, the Santa Fe Calligraphy trim provides premium features at a better price than the Highlander’s higher-end trims.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Both SUVs include advanced safety features designed to protect drivers and passengers.
Hyundai Santa Fe Safety Features:
- Hyundai SmartSense, a suite of driver assistance features.
- Forward Collision Avoidance to help prevent accidents.

Which SUV is the Best Choice?
The 2025 Toyota Highlander is a solid SUV for large families who need extra seating. However, it comes at a higher price and doesn’t offer an off-road trim like the Santa Fe XRT.
The 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe stands out with:
- More horsepower with its turbocharged engine option.
- Off-road capability with the XRT trim.
- Advanced technology and safety features at a lower price.
