2016 Honda Pilot Named Top Safety Pick+

BOSTON - Sept. 4, 2015 - PRLog -- The 2016 Honda Pilot has already been impressing New England drivers for a few months, and it just brought home one of the most important awards it can earn. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety awarded the 2016 Honda Pilot a 2015 Top Safety Pick+ award for its crash test performance and accident prevention technologies.

This new Pilot offers the widest and most comprehensive selection of standard and available safety features ever found on a Honda vehicle, with new Honda Sensing safety and driver assistance features available that can actually prevent a collision before it occurs.

Jeff Conrad, the Senior Vice President and General Manager for Honda, described what makes the Pilot such a safety success, saying "The 2016 Pilot is not only the most technologically advanced Honda vehicle on the road today, but the top choice for family SUV buyers interested in safety performance. No other midsize mainstream SUV on the market today can match the comprehensive suite of Honda Sensing advanced safety and driver-assistive technologies on the new Honda Pilot."

Available on the Honda Pilot EX, EX-L, Touring, and Elite trim levels, Honda Sensing features include:

•      Forward collision warning

•      Collision mitigation braking

•      Adaptive cruise control

•      Lane keeping assistance

•      Lane departure warning

•      Road departure mitigation

While these safety features are no match for attentive driving, their goal is to help alert a driver to a potential accident and try to mitigate the damage as best as possible. Each new Pilot also features an underlying Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure for stability as well as a standard multi-angle rearview camera for safer backing up and parking. Drivers can also expect industry standard safety features like anti-lock brakes, a full array of airbags, stability control, and traction control.

For more information on the 2016 Honda Pilot and the Top Safety Pick+ award – or to schedule a test drive of one of the SUV's five trims – readers can visit a New England Honda Dealer. With locations all across the New England area, it should be easy for families to find themselves wrapped up in the safety of the new Pilot SUV.
