On a new moon night on a lonely stretch of desert highway outside Albuquerque, it's just you and your headlights cutting through the impenetrable dark. How far can you see? Far enough ahead to stop if there were a pronghorn, or a deer in the road?
In the case of many vehicles, the answer is dismal. That's why the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) is now testing headlights, and requiring a Good or Acceptable headlight rating to qualify for a Top Safety Pick.
Out of 37 midsize SUVs tested, only 2 were able to earn the highest rating for headlights—one of them was the 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe.
When equipped with Dynamic Bending Light technology, the Santa Fe can illuminate up to 300 feet ahead on a straightaway, and over 200 feet on a sharp curve. With high beams on, visibility jumps to 500 feet straight ahead.
Get a great deal on a new Santa Fe at Larry H. Miller Southwest Hyundai Albuquerque, and feel more secure driving at night.
