The 4 Safest Honda Options for Your College-Bound Kid

Dec 31, 2015

Graduation, Man, Cap, Gown, Education, University Sending your child off to college can be stressful. There are few things that you can control during this stage of their lives, and that may make you feel off kilter. But there is one way to get your feet on solid ground.

That’s where Honda comes in. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), Honda consistently manufactures cars that win the Top Safety Pick+ rating, due, in large part, to their use of an Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure, which helps to handle the impact of a frontal crash.

Here are the top four safest Honda models.

Honda Accord Coupe

The Honda Accord Coupe is one of the Honda models that is rated Top Safety Pick+ by the IIHS. Among its safety options are the multi-angle rearview camera, which shows objects in its range from an up, down, and width perspective. The Accord Coupe also has the ACE body structure and Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), which alerts drivers when any of the tire pressures become significantly low. The Honda Accord, with its state-of-the-art Apple Car Play entertainment capabilities and sleek design, is both a stylish and safe option for college-bound kids.

Honda Accord Sedan

The Honda Accord Sedan is Honda’s classic car. It is rated Top Safety Pick+ by the IIHS, utilizes the ACE body structure, and has multiple threshold front airbags to lessen the impact in the cabin during an accident. Combine that with the class and style that the Accord brings, and you have a car you can be confident in.

Honda Civic Sedan

The Honda Civic Sedan is a timeless vehicle that never seems to lose its appeal. It carries the distinction of being a Top Safety Pick+ as awarded by IIHS and continues to surprise drivers with its consistent elegance. It utilizes the ACE body structure, anti-lock braking system to aid in the way the car reacts to braking pressure, and has three levels in the rearview camera option for better reversing. Dynamic airbags, daytime running lights, and other safety features make this car a safe choice for people who are going to be on the road for long periods of time.

Honda Civic Coupe

Keeping in common with its larger kin, the Honda Civic Coupe sports a safety distinction of its own. The IIHS has awarded the Honda Civic Coupe the Top Safety Pick award. This vehicle has the same ACE body structure as the other Hondas, three-point seatbelts in the front seats, as well as the back seats, to help secure the driver and passenger in the event of a sudden stop, and SmartVent front side airbags.

The Honda Civic Coupe is customizable to suit the personality of your college bound child, giving them the sense of independence they crave while you get the confidence in their safety that you need.
