The 2013 Honda Civic Sedan has Earned Impressive Safety Accolades

BARRINGTON, Ill. - May 15, 2013 - PRLog -- Motor Werks Honda (http://www.motorwerkshonda.com/index.htm) has long been a champion of Honda’s vehicles, not only because they offer exceptional comfort, convenience, and reliability, but also because the automaker has consistently shown a commitment to keeping passengers safe. In fact, every 2013 Honda model that was tested by the IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) received the designation of either Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick+, and the 2013 Civic Sedan is many ways the lineup’s standard-bearer.

The 2013 Honda Civic Sedan has established itself as one of the most beloved compact cars on the market, and it’s received truly impressive safety accolades, garnering the highest possible crash-test scores from both the IIHS and the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration). The NHTSA’s NCAP (New Car Assessment Program) awarded the new Civic Sedan the top 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score, while the IIHS awarded it the new designation of Top Safety Pick +, which is reserved for vehicles that achieve the top score of Good in the new small overlap frontal collision test.

The new Civic — both Sedan and Coupe models — are the only compact cars that have earned the Top Safety Pick+ designation. The 2013 Civic Sedan was significantly refreshed from the previous model. Among its many safety innovations is the use of Honda’s ACE (Advanced Compatibility Engineering) body structure, which is designed to effectively redistribute crash energy in an effort to keep vehicle occupants safe.

Art St. Cyr, vice president of product planning and logistics at American Honda, noted that, at present, there is no other small car with higher safety ratings than the new Civic. He added that safety isn’t just a part of Honda’s business plan — it’s a part of the philosophy that guides the automaker.

The Accord Coupe and Sedan were also given the designation of Top Safety Pick+. Honda vehicles to earn the Top Safety Pick designation include the Fit, Crosstour, CR-Z, CR-V, Insight, Pilot, Odyssey, and Ridgeline. In other words, the entire Honda lineup (http://www.motorwerkshonda.com/showroom/index.htm) has garnered praise for safety.

Motor Werks Honda is delighted to offer the full lineup of Honda vehicle at their dealership, which is located at 1475 S Barrington Rd (http://www.motorwerkshonda.com/dealership/directions.htm) in Barrington, IL.
