Euro NCAP has awarded the new Hyundai Veloster small family car a maximum 5-star safety rating.
Contributing to the safety of this top rated vehicle was the inclusion of a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) developed and engineered for the Veloster by Schrader Electronics.
TPMS will become a legal requirement to be fitted to all new cars sold across Europe from next November.
The Veloster rated 96 percent for adult occupant safety, 89 percent for child safety, 49 percent for pedestrian safety and 72 percent for safety assist (Electronic Stability Control is standard on the Veloster).
The model tested was the 3-door hatchback, 1.6 GDI GLS, left hand drive.
