Six 2020 Honda Models Earn IIHS Top Safety Ratings

  • 2020 #accord, #CRV and three #civic models each earn TSP and Insight earns the pinnacle TSP+ award
  • Honda Sensing® Collision Mitigation Braking System™ gets SUPERIOR rating for frontal crash prevention and is standard equipment on all six models
  • All fully tested #Honda vehicles also earn top U.S. government crash-test ratings

Five #Honda models have earned the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s (IIHS) TOP #safety PICK (TSP) rating when equipped with specific headlights, and one (Insight) has achieved a TOP #safety PICK+ (TSP+) rating. Contributing to the top ratings, the 2020 #accord, three #civic models(Coupe, Sedan and Hatchback), Insight and #CRV each achieve the highest possible rating of “GOOD” in all six IIHS crashworthiness tests. In addition, all feature #Honda Sensing® driver-assistive and #safety technology as standard equipment, earning “SUPERIOR” ratings for vehicle-to-vehicle frontal crash prevention.

For the 2020 model year, the #CRV and #civic join the #accord, Insight and Passport in providing #Honda Sensing® as standard equipment on all trim levels for these five models. #Honda Sensing® is now available or standard on every #Honda automobile model, and there are nearly three million #Honda vehicles on U.S. roads today featuring this comprehensive suite of #safety and driver-assistive technologies, which includes Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™) with Pedestrian Detection; Forward CollisionWarning; Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) incorporating Lane Departure Warning (LDW); Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS); and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC).

All #Honda vehicles also benefit from Honda’s proprietary Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure, designed to protect occupants in a wide variety of frontal collisions, along with advanced supplemental restraint systems, including pretensioning front seatbelts, and front, side, knee and side-curtain airbags.

To earn the 2020 TSP award, a vehicle must earn “GOOD” crashworthiness ratings in all test modes, including in the challenging passenger-side small overlap test. A top-rated vehicle must also offer front crash prevention that earns an “ADVANCED” or “SUPERIOR” rating in both vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian testing, as well as “GOOD” or “ACCEPTABLE” ratings for available headlights; while TSP+ rated vehicles must achieve the same “GOOD” or “ACCEPTABLE” rating for their standard headlights. Additional #Honda models are expected to receive top #safety ratings from the IIHS in 2020 as the Institute completes further testing. Separately, every #Honda model that has been fully evaluated in the NHTSA’s 2020 model year NCAP testing has received a 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score2.
