SUV Safety*
Although SUVs are known for their ability to take you off-road to places other types of vehicles fear to venture, they still spend most of their time on paved roads where unexpected danger can strike at any moment. Fortunately, no other SUV brand is more dedicated to protecting both drivers and passengers than Honda. Every new Honda SUV comes standard with the groundbreaking Honda Sensing® suite of active driver-assistive safety technologies. From the convenience of adaptive cruise control and blind-spot monitoring to the potentially life-saving automatic emergency braking and collision mitigation braking system technologies – Honda SUVs are truly a cut above when it comes to safety.
No need to just take our word for it either! In fact, a total of three Honda SUVs received Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick+ awards from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS)*. For comparison, Toyota only had 1 SUV that earned an award from the IIHS. Why settle for less? Choose the Honda SUV family and its proven track record for safety.
