- Seven Honda models now rated TSP or better by IIHS
- All Civic models are equipped with the Honda Sensing® suite of safety and driver-assistive technologies, with enhanced safety performance for 2025
- All fully tested Honda vehicles, including Civic also earn top U.S. government crash-test ratings
The refreshed 2025 Honda Civic Sedan has earned the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) 2024 TOP SAFETY PICK+ (TSP+) rating. The refreshed 2025 Honda Civic Hatchback has earned a 2024 TOP SAFETY PICK (TSP) rating. Both ratings include the new Honda Civic hybrid models powered by the award-winning Honda two-motor hybrid system, as well as the sporty and fun-to-drive Civic Si and high-performance Civic Type R. A total of seven Honda models have now earned 2024 and 2025 TSP ratings or better.
Contributing to their overall ratings, Civic Sedan and Hatchback earned top ratings from IIHS in the small overlap front test, updated side test and headlight performance.
Based on the longstanding Honda "Safety for Everyone" approach, which focuses on advancing safety for everyone sharing the road, all 2025 Civic models are equipped with the Honda Sensing® suite of safety and driver-assistive technologies. This includes enhanced safety performance for 2025, with increased system visibility for motorcycles and bicycles for the Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™) with Pedestrian Detection, and smoother, more natural feeling to the functions of both Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS).
The standard Honda Sensing® suite of safety and driver-assistive technologies on Civic also includes Forward Collision Warning, and Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) incorporating Lane Departure Warning (LDW). All Sport models are now also equipped with blind spot information with Rear Cross Traffic Alert. Honda Sensing® is now standard on all new Honda models, found on over 9 million Honda brand vehicles on U.S. roads today.
All Honda vehicles benefit from the proprietary Honda Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure, designed to help protect occupants in a wide variety of frontal collisions, along with advanced supplemental restraint systems. When the Civic was last fully redesigned for the 2022 model year, Honda engineers enhanced ACE™ with a new structure that is optimized and integrated into the front sub-frame and side-frame that improves Civic crash compatibility with smaller vehicles, and occupant protection in oblique frontal collisions.
The 11th-generation Civic also became the first passenger vehicle in the world to use an all-new driver's airbag specifically designed to reduce head rotation in a collision, especially an oblique collision. Using an innovative donut-shaped structure, the new airbag cradles and holds the head, mitigating rotation and reducing the likelihood of brain injury.
Civic also employs an award-winning Honda front passenger airbag that uses a three-chamber design that is particularly beneficial in angled frontal impacts in which lateral collision forces can cause an occupant's head to rotate severely or slide off the airbag, increasing the chance of serious injury.
In addition to IIHS testing, every Honda model that has been fully evaluated in the NHTSA's 2024 and 2025 model year NCAP testing has received a 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score1.
