Seven 2025 Honda and Acura Models Receive Top Safety Ratings from IIHS

Five Honda models and two Acura models have earned TOP SAFETY PICK (TSP) ratings or better for 2025 from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The 2025 Honda Civic Hatchback, Accord and HR-V achieved the pinnacle TOP SAFETY PICK+ (TSP+) rating. All seven models achieved the top GOOD score in the Institute’s rigorous small overlap front crash test and updated side crash test, which involves 82% more crash energy than the original test.

Honda Sensing® and AcuraWatch™ are comprehensive suites of safety and driver-assistive technologies that are standard on every new Honda and Acura model. More than 9.5 million Acura and Honda vehicles on U.S. roads today now feature these technologies, which include Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™) with Pedestrian Detection; Forward Collision Warning; Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) incorporating Lane Departure Warning (LDW); Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS); and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC).

The Honda Civic, Accord, HR-V, CR-V and Pilot and Acura Integra and MDX all benefit from the Honda proprietary Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure, designed to help protect occupants in a wide variety of frontal collisions, along with advanced supplemental restraint systems, such as pretensioning front seatbelts, and front, side, knee and side-curtain airbags.

Honda Commitment to Safety
Honda is committed to further advancing safety for everyone sharing the road, which is captured in the Honda global safety slogan “Safety for Everyone.” The company has established a global goal to achieve zero fatalities from traffic collisions involving Honda motorcycles and automobiles by 2050. To achieve this goal, Honda is expanding its focus beyond advanced safety and driver assistive technologies alone, to include efforts to augment driver awareness, modify driver behavior and improve the traffic safety ecosystem by working with government, industry and community partners.

Honda operates two of the world’s most sophisticated crash-test facilities in Ohio and Japan, and is responsible for numerous pioneering efforts in crashworthiness, collision compatibility and pedestrian safety.

Advanced passive safety features include the proprietary Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure and next-generation driver and passenger front airbag technology, which are designed to provide a high level of collision protection for occupants. Advanced active safety and driver-assistive systems found in Honda Sensing® and AcuraWatch™ technologies, now on over 9.5 million vehicles on U.S. roads, are designed to reduce the frequency and severity of collisions while also serving as a technological and perceptual bridge to the more highly automated vehicles of the future.
