3 Safest Hondas for Your Family

Honda has a well-deserved reputation for safety, and it’s this commitment to keeping passengers safe that makes it one of the top brands in the world of car manufacturers. Safety is especially important when you’re transporting your family, and t,he following vehicles are good not just for keeping the driver safe, but every last passenger, too.

Honda Accord

While the classic concept of the family vehicle calls for more trunk space, not every family needs all that extra room on a regular basis, and not every family owns only one car. For these situations, the Honda Accord is an excellent choice for anyone searching for both fuel economy and passenger safety (and it’s got a pretty big trunk, to boot).

The Honda Accord features a wide array of active and passive safety measures, including front, side, and curtain airbags, 3-point seat belts for all positions, a LATCH system for the second row seats, and child-proof rear door locks. All that is standard on every model, but you can also add a number of active sensor features like Lane Departure and Front Collision Warnings on any trim level. These can then activate Collision and Road Departure Mitigation Systems, which take limited control over your vehicle in order to keep you safe.

Honda Fit

The Fit is a hatchback as small as its name, but that doesn’t mean it’s too small for passengers or cargo. However, it does mean that it has an excellent mpg rating both on the highway and in the city, and the small size makes it easier to maneuver in an emergency.

On top of having the same basic safety features as the Accord, the Fit comes with a multi-angle rearview camera with guidelines that help you line up to safely fit into the tightest of parallel parking spaces. Both vehicles also have an Advanced Compatibility Engineering body structure designed to distribute crash energy all throughout the front of the vehicle.

Honda CR-V

When you do need a lot of space in your vehicle, it’s hard to go wrong with Honda’s CR-V, a crossover SUV that may not be as big as a full-size model but also doesn’t guzzle gas the way a heavier SUV would.

The CR-V comes with plenty of family-friendly features like eight cup holders, a center armrest for the rear seats, and an audio system compatible with both Sirius XM and Pandora. It’s got plenty of active safety features, too, and with the Touring model you can get active driver assist features like the Lane Keeping Assist, Honda LaneWatch, and Adaptive Cruise Control, which actively slows down when cars in front get too close.

Every Honda is a safe Honda, so it’s not that some Honda vehicles are safer than others, but that some vehicles are a better fit for your family than others. That’s why Honda offers such a wide variety: no matter what sort of car, truck, or SUV you need, you’re sure to be as safe as only a Honda can be.
