DETROIT - Feb. 11, 2016 - PRLog -- Mid-Michigan Honda Dealers are excited to announce that the latest 2016 Honda Civic Sedan has earned one of the most coveted safety awards in the industry: a 2016 Top Safety Pick+ from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The IIHS puts all new vehicles through a string of crash tests and safety features examinations to determine if they deserve an award, and if that award is a Top Safety Pick or the new Top Safety Pick+.
The difference between the Top Safety Pick and the Top Safety Pick+ might not seem like much at first, but it's the difference between a vehicle that meets today's safety standards and one that the IIHS thinks will meet the safety standards of the future.
In order to take home a Top Safety Pick award, a vehicle must earn scores of “good” in the following five tests:
● Small Overlap Front Crash
● Moderate Overlap Front Crash
● Side Impact
● Roof Strength
● Head Restraint
It also has to score at least a “basic” rating in frontal crash prevention. Top Safety Pick+ models must have an “advanced” or “superior” rating in frontal crash prevention. That marks the Civic as not just one of the safest vehicles on the roads of today but also on the roads of tomorrow.
2016 Honda Civic models have the new Honda Sensing suite of driver assistance and safety features available at all trim levels, letting you add on forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, lane departure warning, and more on even the basic LX trim level.
Jeff Conrad, Honda's senior vice president and general manager, responded to the awards, saying "As these new safety ratings demonstrate, the 2016 Civic Sedan not only brings new value to the compact segment with its hefty upgrades to fun-to-drive performance, fuel efficiency, refinement and technology, it also delivers advanced collision safety performance.”
Readers looking to learn more about the 2016 Honda Civic Sedan can contact a Mid-Michigan Honda Dealer for more details or to schedule a test drive. They have multiple convenient locations in Central Michigan, giving area drivers access to the full lineup of new Honda models and a service center with team members trained in the ins and out of Honda vehicle care.
