Hyundai Azera Earns Top Crash Test Ratings

IIHS Results Demonstrate Outstanding Occupant Protection

Fountain Valley, Calif. (March 31, 2006) - Hyundai Motor America today announced that the 2006 Hyundai Azera has received the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) top crash test rating for frontal offset impacts. These results reflect Hyundai's commitment to unsurpassed safety across its entire model lineup.

The IIHS ratings for the crashworthiness of passenger vehicles are based on a 40 mph frontal offset tests, in which the driver side of the front of a vehicle strikes a deformable barrier. Performances are ranked with comparative ratings of "good", "acceptable", "marginal" or "poor". The Azera earned an overall "good" rating in the tests.

"At Hyundai, our over-riding concern is to help our drivers avoid accidents by offering cars with agile handling and sophisticated active safety aids, like standard Electronic Stability Control", said John Krafcik, vice president of strategic planning and product development, Hyundai Motor America. "These fine IIHS ratings, based on a very severe high-speed offset frontal crash, also reflect our ongoing commitment to deliver outstanding passive safety equipment that reduce injuries should an accident occur".

According to IIHS researchers, drivers of vehicles that earn good ratings in frontal offset crash tests are about 46 percent less likely to die in frontal crashes than drivers of the poor-rated vehicles they crashed into. More than 200 vehicles have been rated by the IIHS since the frontal crash tests were first conducted in 1995.

The Azera features the most standard safety technologies in its class, including standard Electronic Stability Control (ESC) with Traction Control System (TCS) and Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). The Azera also comes with eight standard airbags, including advanced dual front airbags, front and rear seat-mounted side-impact airbags, and roof-mounted side curtain airbags for both front and rear outboard seat occupants. Active front head restraints provide extra protection against whiplash in rear-end collisions.

Massachusetts

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is a state in the New England region of the northeastern United States. With a population approaching 6.5 million in a relatively small area, it is largely urban and suburban in its eastern half, and still primarily rural in the west.

Massachusetts' colleges and universities, as well as its technology, continue to thrive. The state is also considered a haven for progressive, liberal thought and commonly sends political candidates to the national scene.

Massachusetts is bordered on the north by New Hampshire and Vermont; on the west by New York; on the south by Connecticut and Rhode Island; and on the east by the Atlantic Ocean. At the southeastern corner of the state is a large, sandy, arm-shaped peninsula called Cape Cod. The islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket lie to the south of Cape Cod.

A portion of the north-central Pioneer Valley near South Deerfield, much more rural than Springfield, in the southern part of the valley, or Boston, which is on the coast.  Massachusetts is known as the Bay State because of the several large bays that give its coastline its distinctive shape:  Massachusetts Bay and Cape Cod Bay on the state's east coast, and Buzzards Bay to the south. A few cities and towns on the Massachusetts-Rhode Island border are also adjacent to Narragansett Bay. The name Massachusetts comes from the name of an Algonquian tribe that means "at or about the great hill" or "land of the blue hills."

Boston is the largest city, located at the inmost point of Massachusetts Bay, at the mouth of the Charles River, the longest river entirely within Massachusetts. Most of the population of the Boston metropolitan area (approximately 5,800,000) does not live in the city; eastern Massachusetts on the whole is fairly densely populated and largely suburban.

Western Massachusetts is more rural and sparsely populated, especially in the Berkshires, the branch of the Appalachian Mountains which forms the western border of the state. The most populated part of western Massachusetts is the "Pioneer Valley," alongside the Connecticut River, which flows across Western Massachusetts from north to south.

The fourteen counties, moving roughly from west to east, are Berkshire, Franklin, Hampshire, Hampden, Worcester, Middlesex, Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk, Bristol, Plymouth, Barnstable, Dukes, and Nantucket.
