March 29th, 2021 by

Huntington Honda is pleased to announce the Honda brand’s topping of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s (IIHS) 2021 Top Safety Pick and Pick+ listings. This coveted accolade begins with vehicles that best IIHS evaluations during a given year. In light of congestion throughout the Commack, Dix Hills, Deer Park, Smithtown, Bay Shore, NY, area, nothing would seem more important than Honda safety in design and engineering.

Leading the charge in the Top Safety Pick small-cars category are 2021 Honda Civic four-door hatchback and 2021 Honda Civic four-door sedan. The small SUV category features the 2021 Honda CR-V four-door SUV.

The Top Safety Pick+ list for small cars celebrates 2021 Honda Insight four-door sedan, the mid-sized 2021 Honda Accord four-door sedan, and 2021 Honda Odyssey minivan.

  • Crashworthiness of vehicle frame, paying close attention to overlap frontage on each side, strength of roof, restraints for head and seat.
  • Crash avoidance and mitigation elements comprising headlights, front crash protection be it vehicle-to-vehicle or vehicle-to-pedestrian.
  • Child-seat anchoring.
  • Other safety features comprise standard daytime running headlights, and optional blind-spot detection, lane departure warning and prevention.
