CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Jan. 2, 2015 - PRLog -- The 2015 Honda CR-V is available now at New England Honda Dealers, and it just took home the highest safety award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS): Top Safety Pick+.

While Honda has always been a brand known for its safety, it has been sweeping up the safety awards lately, and the 2015 CR-V is just the latest in a long line of recognized vehicles.

The vice president of auto operations for Honda, Art St. Cyr, responded to the announcement of the CR-V's Top Safety Pick+ award, saying, "Our continued innovation in active safety and assistive technologies with the application of Honda Sensing brings Honda, our customers and everyone else on the road one step closer to this goal."

In order to achieve Top Safety Pick+ status, the vehicle has to first be named a Top Safety Pick, which requires the IIHS's top score of “good” in moderate overlap front, side impact, head restraint, and roof strength tests. The vehicle also has to earn an “acceptable” or “good” in the new small overlap front crash test.

For the CR-V to take home Top Safety Pick+, it not only had to do all of that but also have some form of frontal crash prevention technology available, and the brand new Touring trim level does exactly that.

Part of the reason why safety is such a high concern for the CR-V is that every other aspect of it makes it one of the best family vehicles in New England. It has a spacious interior with seating for up to five, an easily-expandable cargo area, the ability to tow as much as 1,5000 pounds, all-wheel drive as an option on every trim level, and some of the best standard features on the market.

To learn more about what it takes for a vehicle like the 2015 Honda CR-V to earn a Top Safety Pick+ award or to schedule a test drive of a brand new CR-V, contact a sales team member at a New England Honda Dealer.
