Honda always has been incredibly proud of the safety features made available in its automobiles, and it's hard to blame them when one takes a good hard look at all of the different Honda models that have been named a Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick+ by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety over the course of the last several years. The Honda Accord, for example, was named a Top Safety Pick for the 2015 model year in both the 4-door and 2-door configurations, but engineers took that step a further this year by developing a refreshed automobile that has now moved up to the elite Top Safety Pick+.
For those wondering what difference the little plus-sign makes, it has everything to do with whether or not a vehicle offers active frontal collision prevention and whether it's able to master the IIHS's tough small-overlap front crash test.
The 2016 Honda Accord finally overcame that tough test and offered optional front crash prevention, which means the IIHS was able to slap the Top Safety Pick+ tag on both the sedan and the coupe, and we aren’t exaggerating when we say that with this rating and the new Honda Sensing suite of safety features, this is the most comprehensively equipped vehicle in the midsize segment when it comes to safety.
Advanced safety features in the new Accord include everything from collision mitigation to lane assist to adaptive cruise control, meaning it's going to do everything in its technological power to keep drivers and passengers as safe as possible in every instance imaginable.
We here at Gillman Honda San Antonio are thrilled to sell so many IIHS-approved vehicles, with the refreshed 2016 Honda Accord the most recent among them!
