The breakdown includes four stars for frontal crashes, five stars for side impacts, and four stars for rollover protection, delivering an overall score of five stars.

In addition to receiving a five-star safety rating from the NHTSA, the 2013 Honda Civic sedan was also named as a Top Safety Pick+ from the IIHS. The Sedan joins the Coupe, which received a four-star overall safety rating from the NHTSA, as the first and only small compact cars to earn the Top Safety Pick+ rating from the IIHS. In order to receive the highest possible rating from the IIHS, the Civic had to earn a “Good” rating on the new standard small overlap frontal crash test.

Other standard safety features include Vehicle Stability Assist with traction control, driver and front passenger airbags, and side curtain airbags.

Each of Honda’s 2013 vehicles has received either a Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick+ distinction from the IIHS, leading all other automakers.
