The passenger compartment held its shape well in the offset test. Pedal and steering wheel displacements were well controlled. Driver and passenger contact with the airbags was stable. All doors remained closed during the crash. After the crash all doors could be opened with normal effort.

The side impact test normally used by ANCAP simulates a small car striking the driver's door of the test vehicle. Experience shows that large vehicles like the Tucson can be expected to perform well in this test. ANCAP has adopted a policy of awarding these types of vehicles a default score of 16 points (out of 16).
The vehicle was eligible for a side pole test because it has side curtain airbags. The vehicle scored the maximum 2 points for head protection in this test.

This vehicle scored 18.35 out of 36 points (Marginal). Some points have been gained in the central area of the bonnet. Improvements could be made to the upper leg area that would result in better performance for this vehicle. The European model tested by Euro NCAP had a pop-up bonnet that provided less injury risk to pedestrians. This is not available on Australasian models. (v8)
