Smartly designed passenger cars can provide high levels of protection. We believe safety can and must apply to all vehicles. With vehicle bodies designed to manage crash energy in a controlled manner and direct it away from the passenger cabin, combined with advanced safety technologies, Honda and Acura models achieve industry-leading occupant protection.
With our light truck models, we don't assume that "bigger is better." Utilizing unit-body designs that make better use of space, Honda creates occupant- protection zones designed to match or exceed the performance of larger, heavier vehicles. To further enhance occupant protection, we equip Honda and Acura SUVs, minivans and trucks with advanced safety features that enhance safety for the driver and passengers and increase compatibility with other vehicles.
