Hyundai Grand i10 Safety Standards Confirmed for South Africa​

Hyundai Automotive South Africa has reaffirmed that the Hyundai Grand i10 fully complies with all South African safety and homologation regulations, following recent media coverage referencing the Automobile Association of South Africa (AA) and Global NCAP safety ratings.

At Westvaal Hyundai, customer safety remains a top priority. We would like to assure motorists that the Hyundai Grand i10 sold in South Africa meets all requirements set by the National Regulator for Compulsory Specifications (NRCS), the official authority governing vehicle safety standards in the country.

Hyundai Grand i10 Meets All NRCS Safety Requirements

Before any vehicle is approved for use on South African roads, it must comply with 53 mandatory NRCS safety and performance standards. These include:

  • Braking performance
  • Frontal impact protection
  • Door latch integrity
  • Child restraint anchorage systems
  • Airbag systems
  • Other regulated safety features

The Hyundai Grand i10 meets all 53 NRCS compliance requirements, confirming that it is legally approved, safe, and roadworthy for South African conditions.

Hyundai’s Commitment to Safety

“Safety is deeply embedded in Hyundai’s global and local product philosophy,” said Stanley Anderson, CEO 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 independent assessments such as Global NCAP ratings can serve as reference points, they do not replace or override South Africa’s legally mandated safety regulations, which all locally sold vehicles must meet.

Designed for South African Motorists

Hyundai Automotive South Africa continues to work closely with regulatory bodies and its global manufacturing partners to ensure vehicles evolve alongside increasing safety expectations.

The Hyundai Grand i10 remains a popular choice among South African drivers thanks to its:

  • Proven safety compliance
  • Reliability
  • Fuel efficiency
  • Affordability
  • Suitability for urban and everyday driving
