Safety

Overview

A strong track record of safety

Acura believes driving a luxury car should be a highly enjoyable experience. And while we tend to dwell on the more exhilarating aspects of our vehicles, we consider your safety a top priority. The result is a model lineup with a full roster of safety–related accomplishments.

For the 2009 model year, Acura was the first car company to receive a Top Safety Pick designation from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) for every one of its vehicles. All five 2009 Acura models, both passenger cars and SUVs, earned "Good"—the highest score possible—on frontal offset, side impact and rear crash protection tests. The "Good" scores continued for all tests conducted on 2010 models.

For both the 2009 and 2010 model years, Acura was the only luxury brand to receive five-star crash safety ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)* for all of its models pursuant to NHTSA’s New Car Assessment Program’s front and side impact crash tests.
