Honda Models Earn IIHS Top Safety Ratings

While it’s easy to get distracted by stylish touch-screens and other great tech features, your safety systems are your most important features. The engineers behind your favorite Honda models understand this, which is why every new Honda model comes equipped with the standard Honda Sensing Suite. This year, these efforts have been recognized, as five Honda models have earned TOP SAFETY PICK ratings from the IIHS. If you’re looking for your next Honda model, then you can stop by Prescott Honda today.

What Is The IIHS?

IIHS stands for the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Their goal is to rigorously test new models on the market so that consumers can easily and quickly see which vehicles are safe for their families. The only true way to test a car is to wreck it, which is how they’ve tested our Honda models. For example, each Honda model had to go through a small overlap front crash test and a side crash test. This can be incredibly dangerous on the road, but luckily, all five Honda vehicles earned a top GOOD score. When you’re placing your kids in the back of your car, you should feel confident in their safety. If you need an SUV or sedan that you can count on, and you’re near Cottonwood, Prescott Valley, or Chino Valley, then you can visit us today at Prescott Honda.

Meet The Five Models That Earned the TOP SAFETY PICK Rating

The two models below managed to earn the TOP SAFETY PICK award.

• The Civic Sedan: The Civic Sedan has been one of Honda’s most popular models for a long time, as its small and nimble profile gives it great handling.
• The Pilot: The Pilot is a large SUV that can easily accommodate the whole family. It’s a great pick for those who need the extra space.

The vehicles below managed to go the extra mile, as instead of just earning a TOP SAFETY RATING, they managed to get the TOP SAFETY PICK+ award.

• The Accord: The Accord manages to give drivers the best of both worlds, as it’s powerful and efficient.
• The Honda HR-V: As far as SUVs go, this is a comfortable pick thanks to its smart tech features and its cozy interior.
• The Honda Civic Hatchback: If the Civic Sedan isn’t big enough to meet your needs, then you might appreciate the extra storage space that the Civic Hatchback offers.
