Safety & Ratings
Safety is a top priority for Honda, and the Civic consistently earns top marks from independent safety organizations. This category compiles crash test ratings from the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) and the IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) for every Civic generation. We cover frontal crash, side crash, rollover resistance, and roof strength tests, along with the IIHS crashworthiness evaluations including the small overlap front test. We also document the Civic safety feature content by model year — airbag count, stability control, traction control, anti-lock brakes, collision mitigation braking, lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, and rear cross traffic alert. Insurance cost data and safety recall information are included for each generation. Whether you are buying a Civic for your teenager, your family, or yourself, this category helps you understand exactly how safe your car is.
