The 2013 Honda Civic has become known among individual car buyers as the most popular and reliable small car on the market. Now it can also add superior safety to its growing list of highlights, as it recently earned the highest possible overall safety rating from both the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

After undergoing each of the crash tests, the Honda Civic received the top 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score and the highest rating of TOP SAFETY PICK+ after earning a top score of GOOD in the newly added small overlap frontal collision test. This sets the Civic Sedan and Coupe apart from its competitors, as they are the only small cars to ever earn such high safety ratings from both institutions.

What's even more impressive, is that each new Honda model for the 2013 model year earned either a TOP SAFETY PICK or TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating from the IIHS. Quite the accomplishment and a testament to Honda's impressive safety technology.

Taking a closer look at this technology, the Honda Civic features Advanced Compatibility Engineering which gives it a durable body structure. Other safety innovations include Vehicle Stability Assist with traction control, a system of airbags that are designed to keep all passengers safe, as well as an Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS).
