The variant that the crash tests were conducted on was a base model of the ix25, which has no side and curtain airbags. This proves that the structural build of the ix25 is really good.

The 40 percent overlap test was carried out at 64 Km/h, and the vehicle scored a 14.11 out of 18. The whiplash test was carried out at 15.65 Km/h and the SUV scored full marks.

The Hyundai ix25 will be launched in India, mostly towards mid year. The vehicle will be available with two engine options, a diesel and a petrol.
