Multiple Hondas Top IIHS Awards
Honda is a celebrated brand for both their reliability and safety. This year, the all-new 2023 Honda Accord was one of six midsize sedans that received a Good overall rating in the updated Front Moderate Overlap Testing by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The Accord has also been awarded as a Top Safety Pick+ by the IIHS, making it one of seven Honda models that received the Top Safety Pick and Top Safety Pick+ designation.
Power
The 2023 Honda Accord is powered by a 1.5-liter Turbocharged Direct-Injected VTEC 4-cylinder that produces 192 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque. The Accord Hybrid has a 2.0-liter Atkinson Direct-Injected 4-cylinder that has a total battery and gas output of 181 horsepower and 247 lb-ft of torque.
IIHS Crash Testing
In their press release announcing the success of new 2023 Honda vehicles, the IIHS talked about why they felt the need to update the moderate overlap front test: “IIHS launched the updated moderate overlap front test last year after research showed that in newer vehicles the risk of a fatal injury is now higher for belted occupants in the rear than for those in front. This is not because the rear seat has become less safe. Rather, the front seat has become safer because of improved airbags and advanced seat belts that are rarely available in back.
To encourage manufacturers to improve rear-seat protection, the updated test adds a dummy in the back seat behind the driver. The driver dummy is the size of an average adult man. The rear dummy is the size of a small woman or 12-year-old child. IIHS researchers also developed new metrics that focus on the injuries most frequently seen in backseat passengers.
The Accord provided stellar protection in the back seat. Measurements taken from the rear dummy showed no heightened risk of injuries, and the rear restraints did a good job controlling the dummy’s motion.”
