Five 2025 Honda Vehicles Earn IIHS Safety Recognition

Your confidence in Honda's safety credentials has been validated once again. The respected Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has awarded top honors to five Honda models in its 2025 safety evaluations. These recognitions confirm what drivers already know about the brand's dedication to protection and highlight Honda's engineering excellence in creating vehicles that prioritize your safety.

The awards come after rigorous testing that pushes vehicles to their limits, including the updated side crash test that involves 82% more energy than previous evaluations. Honda's strong performance across multiple vehicle categories demonstrates the brand's comprehensive approach to safety across its entire lineup.

Honda Models Achieving Top Safety Pick+

Three Honda models have earned the coveted Top Safety Pick+ (TSP+) designation – the highest possible IIHS safety rating. The 2025 Honda Civic Hatchback, Accord, and HR-V all achieved this pinnacle recognition by excelling in every test category.

These vehicles demonstrated superior performance in both the challenging small overlap front crash test and the updated side crash test. The TSP+ rating requires excellent headlight performance and exceptional front crash prevention systems that effectively protect both vehicle occupants and pedestrians. Each of these models features the standard Honda Sensing suite, giving you comprehensive protection through advanced driver assistance technologies.

Honda Models Earning Top Safety Pick

Complementing the TSP+ winners, two additional Honda models – the 2025 Civic Sedan and Pilot – earned the prestigious Top Safety Pick (TSP) rating. These vehicles also received top GOOD scores in the small overlap front crash test and updated side crash test.

The difference between TSP and TSP+ often comes down to specific headlight configurations or slight variations in front crash prevention ratings. However, both designations represent exceptional safety engineering that exceeds industry standards. The Civic Sedan and Pilot deliver outstanding protection through the same fundamental safety philosophy that guides all Honda vehicle development.

Safety Technology Across the Honda Lineup

Every 2025 Honda model features the Honda Sensing suite of safety and driver-assistive technologies as standard equipment. This comprehensive system includes Collision Mitigation Braking System with Pedestrian Detection, Forward Collision Warning, Road Departure Mitigation incorporating Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keeping Assist System, and Adaptive Cruise Control.

All five recognized Honda models also benefit from the proprietary Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure. This innovative design distributes crash energy more evenly throughout the front of the vehicle, reducing cabin deformation and enhancing occupant protection. Combined with advanced restraint systems like pretensioning seatbelts and strategically placed airbags, these features create a multilayered approach to safety.

Honda's safety recognition extends beyond these five models, with Acura – Honda's luxury division – also earning Top Safety Pick ratings for its 2025 Integra and MDX models. This consistent performance across both brands highlights Honda's company-wide commitment to engineering excellence.

Your safety shouldn't be optional or reserved for premium trim levels. Honda's approach makes advanced safety features standard across the lineup, providing you with protection that's both comprehensive and accessible. With these IIHS recognitions, you can drive with the confidence that comes from knowing your vehicle has been designed and tested to protect what matters most.
