Are you looking for a vehicle that is smaller in size and designed to keep you safe? Well the new Honda lineup now has just that, and more! The 2013 Honda Civic Sedan and Coupe were recently awarded a TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating from the Institute of Highway Safety. Here at Norris Honda we are proud to see these are the first small vehicles to earn the highest available recognition.
According to Art St. Cyr, vice president of product planning and logistics at American Honda, "If you want a compact car with a TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating, the 2013 Honda Civic is the only choice. We believe this is a distinct competitive advantage, especially as more and more consumers place a premium on crash rating performance."1
The standard safety features offered with the Honda Civic include Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) with traction control, an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), and a complete system of airbags that include side curtain, dual-stage, multiple-threshold front airbags and driver and front passenger side airbags. Each time you get in your car, you can feel secure knowing your vehicle was designed to keep you as safe as possible.
Looking more closely at the Civic Sedan, this model was the first to receive a highest rating of GOOD for the small overlap frontal crash test. This test evaluates how the vehicle reacts when its front corner collides with another vehicle or object while traveling at a high speed. Due to its reinforced body structure, the sedan is better equipped to handle this particular situation.
