Hyundai Automotive South Africa has reaffirmed that the Hyundai Grand i10 complies with all safety and homologation requirements applicable in South Africa, as stipulated by the National Regulator for Compulsory Specifications (NRCS).
The statement follows a recent media release by the Automobile Association of South Africa (AA) highlighting the zero-star adult occupant safety rating awarded to the Hyundai Grand i10 under the Global New Car Assessment Programme (NCAP).
For a vehicle to be approved for use on South African roads, it must comply with 53 NRCS requirements, including, but not limited to, braking performance, frontal impact protection, door latch integrity, child restraint anchorage systems, airbags and other regulated safety features. The Hyundai Grand i10 meets all 53 of these compliance requirements.
“Safety is deeply embedded in Hyundai’s global and local product philosophy,” says Stanley Anderson, chief executive officer of Hyundai Automotive South Africa. “The Hyundai Grand i10 has been engineered to meet all South African road and safety requirements, and NRCS confirmation provides credible assurance to our customers and stakeholders that these standards have been independently verified.”
“While additional independent assessments and ratings, such as NCAP, serve as useful reference points, they continue to evolve and do not replace or override South Africa’s established regulatory standards,” he adds.
“Hyundai Automotive South Africa remains engaged with relevant regulators and industry bodies to deliver vehicles that meet the needs of South African motorists, while working closely with its global original equipment manufacturer to respond to increasingly stringent safety requirements,” he concludes.
