Advanced Honda Safety Features You Won't Want to Drive Without

GRANDVILLE, Mich.,––There are so many things to consider when you go to buy a new car. The type of vehicle, exterior styling, interior comfort, tech and connectivity features, fuel economy, towing capability, FWD/AWD/4WD, etc. The list goes on and on, but there's something in particular we recommend taking a special look at when you're shopping for your next new vehicle: the safety features! There are many advanced Honda safety features you won't want to drive without, and a handful of driver assistive features that'll make your driving experience easier, smoother, and more enjoyable overall. Let's take a look!

First off, you should get to know the Honda Sensing Suite. This is a package of safety and driver assistive features available in many new Honda models including the 2018 Honda Odyssey, 2017 Honda CR-V, and 2017 Honda Civic. There are many features in the Honda Sensing package that you can control or utilize from the driver's seat, which we'll address below, but some you probably won't ever see.

Passive Honda Safety Features: 

-Honda's Exclusive Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) Body Structure

Each new Honda is designed with this body structure, or a system of front frame structures. This design is built to better absorb a frontal collision and more evenly disperse the forces within the cabin of the Honda and the forces transferred to other vehicles. With this design, it's not just Honda passengers that are safer, but other vehicles as well!

-Advanced Air Bags
There are air bags all around each Honda, including air bags that will inflate and cover the windows. Some new Hondas are equipped with SmartVent front side air bag, side curtain air bags, front knee airbags, and rollover sensors to better protect Honda passengers in the event of a collision.

-Front Seat Belts with Pretensioner and Load Limits
If a strong frontal impact is detected, as in a rear-end collision, the front seat belts will automatically retract to hold the passenger back. If the load pushing back on the seat belt is exceeded, the seat belt will loosen up to reduce the impact on the passenger's chest.
