Honda Sensing Safety Technology
Your Honda vehicle will feature an Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure to provide protection in the unlikely event of an accident, plus Honda Sensing driver assistance technology either as standard or available.
Honda Sensing features include:
- Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™) with Forward Collision Warning
- Road Departure Mitigation (RDM)
- Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
- Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)

IIHS Safety Awards
The IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) conducts its own crash-testing and provides a select few models with a Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick+ award. They’re getting harder to earn, but Honda models keep making the grade.
Here’s how 2019 models performed:
- 2019 Honda Insight: Top Safety Pick+
- 2019 Honda Accord: Top Safety Pick
- 2019 Honda CR-V: Top Safety Pick
- 2019 Honda Pilot: Top Safety Pick
- 2019 Honda Odyssey: Top Safety Pick
Once fitted with Honda Sensing® technology, all Honda models but the Honda HR-V (which wasn’t tested) were rated Superior in the IIHS Frontal Collision Protection segment.
NHTSA Safety Scores
Each year, the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) puts hundreds of new cars through a series of crash tests to show American drivers how each one performs under stress.
