With its impressive list of standard safety features, the Civic is a prime example of Honda’s commitment to providing a high level of occupant protection.
Inflated Safety
Every Civic features dual-stage, multiple-threshold front airbags, front side airbags and side-curtain airbags. The passenger’s front side airbag has an Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS) to prevent it from deploying if a child or small-statured person is detected in the airbag’s path of deployment.
Get Framed—In a Good Way
The Civic’s Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure is a Honda exclusive body design that enhances occupant protection and crash compatibility in frontal collisions. Learn more.
Stay Headed in the Right Direction
Standard on EX-L, Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) can detect oversteer or understeer and brake individual wheels and/or reduce engine speed to help restore you to your intended path of travel.
Controlled Stopping
The standard anti-lock braking system (ABS) helps you maintain steering control during hard stops, while the Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) system apportions appropriate braking force depending on how the vehicle is dynamically loaded.
Honda’s Safety Philosophy
Honda is committed to providing safety for everyone—that means crash protection not only for our own drivers and passengers, but also for other vehicle occupants, and injury mitigation for pedestrians. We are dedicated to identifying and implementing advanced designs and features that help enhance the safety of vehicles on the road. Learn more.
