How does the new 2026 Honda Passport TrailSport stand out?

IIHS awards five Honda vehicles for safety

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) recently published the results of its safety evaluations for the 2025 model year. Five Honda vehicles have distinguished themselves with prestigious automotive safety awards. These awards confirm Honda's ongoing commitment to offering safe and reliable vehicles to its customers.

Three Honda models receive top marks

Among the award-winning vehicles, three Honda models received TOP SAFETY PICK+ (TSP+), the highest distinction awarded by the IIHS. They are the 2025 Honda Civic Hatchback, the 2025 Honda Accord, and the 2025 Honda HR-V. These vehicles demonstrated excellent performance in the most demanding tests, including small overlap frontal crash tests and updated side impact tests, which include 82% more impact energy than previous versions.

Two other models also acclaimed

The 2025 Honda Civic Sedan and the 2025 Honda Pilot have also been awarded TOP SAFETY PICK (TSP) honors, also demonstrating a high level of safety. These models have distinguished themselves through their consistent performance in the various crash tests carried out by the IIHS, while meeting the strict criteria imposed to obtain this distinction.

A body structure designed for protection

All award-winning Honda models benefit from the exclusive ACE (Advanced Compatibility Engineering) body structure. Designed to offer enhanced protection in frontal collisions, this technology effectively distributes the energy generated in an impact, reducing the risk of injury to occupants. In addition, these vehicles are equipped with advanced restraint systems, including seat belts with pretensioners, as well as front, side, knee and curtain airbags.

Standard driver assistance technologies

All new Honda vehicles now feature the Honda Sensing technology suite as standard equipment. This system includes several active safety and driving assistance features, such as Collision Mitigation Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Forward Collision Warning, Lane Departure Mitigation, Lane Keeping Assist and Adaptive Cruise Control. These tools help prevent accidents and make everyday driving safer.

In conclusion

With these five models rewarded for their safety performance, Honda reinforces its reputation as a manufacturer concerned with the well-being of drivers and their passengers. Whether for city commutes or long drives, Honda's IIHS 2025 award-winning vehicles offer welcome peace of mind to Quebec motorists.
