What Makes Hondas So Safe

The passive safety features in every Honda are the unsung heroes of these cars. We know that it's flashy, and always relevant, to discuss active safety, but there is a lot more that goes into crafting these vehicles! The engineers at Honda have to work tirelessly to give you a structure itself that can keep you and your passengers secure at all times. We call this the ACE body structure, which is a Honda-exclusive design that helps to enhance occupant protection and crash compatibility by distributing the energy of the crash as evenly as possible throughout the front of your Honda. Just as vital to the system is the front seat belts with pre-tensioners and load limiter. Whenever a frontal impact happens, the front seat belts react instantly by retracting but still give slightly if a certain amount exceeds the load. This is important as it helps to reduce the overall pressure that would otherwise occur on the occupant's chest. Finally, the advanced airbag technology wraps everything up neatly by assisting everyone in the vehicle to remain as secure as possible, regardless of what part of the Honda may be hit at a given time.

Now that you know more about the passive safety of Honda vehicles, it's time we remind you about one of the top reasons why you should be buying a Honda: Honda Sensing. This is a suite of safety and driver-assistive tech that helps to alert you to things that you may otherwise miss as you are driving along. We're all human, and human error is always going to be something that we have to deal with. However, these features can take out some of that error by looking out for you and your passengers. These key systems include the Collision Mitigation Braking System, the road departure mitigation system, adaptive cruise control, traffic sign recognition, and the lane-keeping assist system. Throughout, your Honda is looking around you to keep you informed, and allow you to make the best decisions possible as you're driving.

Active safety is key to the success of Honda, which is why every Honda model comes with the kind of features that just make life easier for you. We start by telling you more about the multi-angle rearview camera, which allows you to choose from 3 angles to better understand what's happening as you are reversing. These angles include normal, top-down, and wide! You'll also find features like Vehicle Stability Assist with traction control, brake assist, electronic brake distribution, and an anti-lock braking system. Everywhere you go, your Honda is ready for whatever may happen next.

Every step of the way Honda is making sure that it only creates the most innovative and safe vehicles on the market today. No matter your specific style preferences, there is a Honda model in our lineup that can fit your personality, while never once sacrificing safety.
