What NHTSA did — and did not — test

Yes — NHTSA published frontal, side barrier, side pole and rollover results for the 2022 Hyundai Tucson SUV AWD Early Release.
2022 Hyundai Tucson crash-test ratings
NHTSA split this year into early and later builds, and they rated differently: later cars earned a better frontal passenger result, while the driver result stayed the same.
NHTSA rates the 2022 Hyundai Tucson 4 out of 5 stars overall — 4 for frontal crash, 5 for side crash, 4 for rollover.
Build date decides which ratings apply, and the early-release entry is where the complaints pile up and where all of the recalls and investigations sit; the later release lists none. Check the production date before reading anything else on this page, and run the VIN for open recalls whichever release it falls in.
Recalls, complaints and investigations
NHTSA keeps these alongside the crash-test results for the 2022 Hyundai Tucson SUV AWD Early Release. They answer a different question: not how the vehicle was built to perform in a crash, but what owners and the agency have reported since.
A recall campaign covers a range of vehicles; whether the repair was done on a particular car is a per-VIN question. Check open recalls by VIN.

Salvage and rebuilt brands, reported accidents and odometer records follow the VIN.
Inspecting a used 2022 Tucson
The ratings describe the Tucson as it left the factory. A car that has been in a serious crash, rebuilt, or had its airbags replaced is no longer the car NHTSA tested.
Read the production date on the driver's door-jamb label and match it to NHTSA's early or later release, since the frontal ratings and the recall record differ between them.
The driver's frontal result sat below the top mark in every version, so check the driver's restraints: the seatbelt should retract fully and lock on a sharp tug, the steering-wheel cover should sit flush, and the airbag lamp should clear after start-up.
Forward collision warning is standard and lane departure warning is not listed, so on a drive confirm the forward warning is switched on in the settings menu and shows no fault, and ask whether the windshield has ever been replaced.
Every rated version of the 2022 Hyundai Tucson
NHTSA rates body styles and drivetrains separately, and the results are not always the same. Match the version to the car you are looking at.
| Version | Overall | Frontal | Side | Rollover | Rollover risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 Hyundai Tucson SUV AWD Early Release | 4 | 4 | 5 | 4 | 17.4% |
| 2022 Hyundai Tucson SUV AWD Later Release | 4 | 5 | 5 | 4 | 17.4% |
| 2022 Hyundai Tucson SUV FWD Later Release | 5 | 5 | 5 | 4 | 15.9% |
How NHTSA's current ratings work
NHTSA announced new NCAP crash tests and rating criteria in July 2008, including a new overall rating that combines the frontal, side and rollover results. It then postponed the change by a year: the new criteria apply to vehicles tested beginning with model year 2011, not 2010 as first announced.
In NHTSA's own words, its rollover resistance ratings “estimate the risk of rollover if a vehicle is involved in a single-vehicle crash.”
One limit applies to every vehicle here. NHTSA notes that the frontal crash rating “depends on vehicle mass, and cannot be compared across vehicle weight classes” — a full-size truck's frontal stars and a compact car's are not the same measure.
- Federal Register, 73 FR 79206 (Dec. 24, 2008) — new NCAP criteria begin with model year 2011
- Federal Register, 73 FR 40016 (July 11, 2008) — NCAP testing and rating changes, including the overall rating
- Federal Register, 68 FR 59250 (Oct. 14, 2003) — NCAP rollover resistance ratings
