KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • What score did the 2023 Honda Accord get for the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s (IIHS) vehicle-to-pedestrian nighttime front crash prevention test?

    Honda said that the 2023 Accord got an “Advanced” score in the IIHS vehicle-to-pedestrian nighttime front crash prevention test.
  • What score did the all-new Honda Accord get in the IIHS Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH ) ease of use test?

    Per Honda, the all-new Accord got a “G+” score in the LATCH ease of use test.
  • To earn a TSP+ rating, the 2023 Honda Accord — a model that has long set the standard for midsize car safety performance — had to achieve “Good” scores in the IIHS’ updated evaluations. This is made up of four crashworthiness tests, three crash avoidance and mitigation tests, and two seatbelt and child restraint tests.

    On that note, the all-new Honda Accord got the highest scores on all tests except the vehicle-to-pedestrian nighttime front crash prevention test where it earned an “Advanced” score. Nevertheless, the 2023 Accord managed to get a “G+” score in the Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH ) ease of use test conducted by the organization.

    In a statement, Honda expressed belief that the key to achieving the TSP+ rating from IIHS is the  Honda Sensing suite of safety and driver-assistive technologies, which are now standard on every Honda automobile model, including all Accord models.

    The automotive manufacturer said that there are more than six million Honda vehicles on United States roads today that sports the aforementioned comprehensive safety and driver-assistive technologies, which now include collision mitigation braking system with pedestrian detection; forward collision warning; road departure mitigation incorporating lane departure warning; lane keeping assist system; and adaptive cruise control.

    All Honda vehicles, the brand pointed out, also benefit from its proprietary Advanced Compatibility Engineering body structure that is designed to protect occupants in a wide variety of frontal collisions, along with advanced supplemental restraint systems, such as pretensioning front seatbelts, and front, side, knee and side-curtain airbags.

    The all-new Honda Accord sits alongside 2023 model year of other Honda nameplates, namely the Civic Hatchback, Civic Sedan, CR-V, HR-V, and Odyssey — all of which have received either a Top Safety Pick or a TSP+ rating from IIHS.
