Honda SUV Safety Features and Awards

Knowing that your car is safe and reliable is such a high priority. It is nice to know that Honda values it just like you do. With a vast amount of awards received and more impressive safety features that you can imagine, the Honda SUV lineup is one that you can trust. 

What Safety Awards Have Honda SUVs Won?

Starting off, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) gave its Top Safety Pick to the new 2019 CR-V and 2019 Pilot. The 2019 Passport received the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) 5-Star Safety rating. Both of these are prestigious awards and are not taken lightly in the car industry. These are proof of the hard work that the engineers and designers put into making these vehicles as safe as they could be. 

What Safety Features are Highlighted in the New Lineup of Honda SUVs?

While each SUV is a little bit different and have various options available at different trim levels, taking a look at the features allows you to understand what importance Honda has put on safety. With the use of advanced technologies, your car is thinking about more things at once than any driver could. While you must always pay attention to the road and drive with best practices, it is nice knowing that your car is working towards the same safety goals. Take a look at some of the safety features Honda SUVs support:

• Multi-angle rearview camera – this gives you the options of normal, top-down, and wide to make sure you really know what is behind your SUV
• Honda LaneWatch – the passenger-side roadway is displayed on your touchscreen when you signal to the right
• Honda Sensing Suite – these are a group of driver-assisting technologies that help you avoid collisions
• Collision Mitigation Braking System – your brakes can be automatically engaged when an unavoidable frontal crash is detected
• Road Departure Mitigation System – steering assistance can be engaged if your car senses you leaving your lane or braking assistance if you are leaving the road entirely
• Adaptive Cruise Control – this senses the distance between you and the car in front of you and changes your speed to maintain that safe distance
• Lane Keeping Assist System – this system makes slight adjustments to steering to keep you in the center of your lane

As you can see, the technology used to keep you safe is at an all-time high. Come by Team Honda of Acadiana to see for yourself and get behind the wheel of one of these Honda SUVs today.
