2021 Honda Accord Receives IIHS Top Safety Pick +

When it comes to safety, receiving the highest honour from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) is like winning an Oscar in movies; it’s the pinnacle. This is exactly what the 2021 Honda Accord, which recently received the Top Safety Pick + designation from the IIHS, has managed to do. 

And receiving this honour isn’t easy. A model must meet a series of criteria and only perfection is accepted. For example, a vehicle must receive the best IIHS rating, Good, in six collision tests. 

In addition, the model must receive an Advanced or Superior rating for its collision prevention system, both between vehicles and pedestrians. Acceptable or Good ratings must also appear on a model's bulletin when it comes to headlights, and that applies to all versions in the catalogue.

Among the elements that have greatly contributed to the Accord's success are its standard safety features, primarily those of the Honda Sensing suite. These include adaptive cruise control, lane departure assistance system, forward collision warning, impact reduction braking system, as well as lane departure warning and mitigation systems. 

As an added bonus, the Accord, like all Honda vehicles, benefits from the Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure. The latter was designed to protect occupants as much as possible, taking into account different frontal collision scenarios. Its great strength is the way it distributes energy in a collision.

The 2021 Honda Accord is not only safe, but it’s also a lot more powerful better equipped this year. The engines have been improved, there is a new SE model that gives you more value, and the Accord is still offered in multiple versions including the popular Hybrid. Falling in love with the 2021 Honda Accord is very easy.
