Honda of El Cerrito is proud to announce that the 2012 Honda Civic received the highest possible safety rating as a Top Safety Pick from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

This new guidelines include a roof strength test, an Electronic Stability Control requirement, and a higher standard for rear-impact protection. During the testing, the 2012 Civic received the highest possible rating of “Good” on all 4 of the evaluations.

The Civic’s new safety features include the Advanced Compatibility Engineering body structure (ACE), Vehicle Stability Assist with traction control, ABS, side curtain airbags, and multiple threshold front airbags with an occupant position detection system.
