The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has recognized the Honda CR-V as a 2008 "Top Safety Pick." The award was based on several extensive tests, including a frontal-offset crash test, side crash test and rear-impact test. In addition, each winner was required to have electronic stability control available as either standard equipment or as an option. Active safety systems such as stability control can help drivers avoid collisions altogether Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®), also known as electronic stability control, is standard equipment on the 2008 Honda CR-V.
The 2007 CR-V has received 5-star frontal and 5-star side-impact crash-test ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Association (NHTSA). Every CR-V comes equipped with standard features such as Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure, anti-lock braking (ABS) and a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). Plus, six airbags, including side curtain airbags with a rollover sensor, help protect driver and passengers in sufficient impacts.*
