by ·

The 2017 Honda CR-V, America’s best-selling SUV, has earned the highest possible safety rating of TOP SAFETY PICK+ from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) when equipped with available Honda Sensing™ and LED headlights. The model earned a SUPERIOR rating for frontal crash prevention when equipped with available Honda Sensing. Honda Sensing is standard on EX and higher trims on the CR-V.

The CR-V earned a top rating of GOOD in five IIHS crash test modes, including the rigorous small overlap frontal crash test. CR-V also earned an ACCEPTABLE rating for its headlights.

To earn the 2017 TOP SAFETY PICK+ award, a vehicle must earn a rating of GOOD in the small overlap front, moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraint tests. It also must have an available front crash prevention system with an ADVANCED or SUPERIOR rating and headlights that earn an ACCEPTABLE or GOOD rating.

For the 2017 model year, four Honda models have earned a TOP SAFETY PICK+, with three models receiving a TOP SAFETY PICK rating under the Institute’s more stringent 2017 ratings requirements, making Honda among the leaders in safety ratings in the automotive industry.
