MEDICINE HAT, Alberta - June 8, 2013 - PRLog -- Sun Valley Honda recently announced that the 2013 Honda Civic Sedan (http://www.sunvalleyhonda.ca/new-inventory/civic/) has received the highest possible overall safety ratings from both the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). These ratings include the NHTSA’s top 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score in the New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) as well as the highest possible rating of TOP SAFETY PICK+ from the IIHS, which includes a top score of GOOD in the new small overlap frontal collision test. Buyers can finance the safest small car in North America at Sun Valley Honda, located at 16 Strachan Court Southeast in Medicine Hat.

In the competitive compact segment, the Honda Civic Sedan and Coupe have distinguished themselves in 2013 by being the only small cars to receive the highest safety rating of TOP SAFETY PICK+ from the IIHS in addition to the Sedan’s further merit of an NCAP 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score.

Redesigned and reengineered for the 2013 model year, the new Honda Civic is the safest and most well-equipped Civic ever. The highest-selling compact car in Canada, the Civic has been upgraded this year with Honda’s very own Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure, which is reinforced and re-directs energy from a collision away from passengers.

The Civic also comes fully equipped with a host of other standard safety features, including anti-lock brakes (ABS), vehicle stability assist (VSA) with traction control, side curtain airbags, dual-stage multiple-threshold front airbags, and driver and passenger front passenger side airbags.

In addition to the 2013 Honda Civic’s top level safety performance, the entire lineup of 2013 Honda models (http://www.sunvalleyhonda.ca/new-inventory/) has achieved top safety status, with Honda leading all automakers with every model tested for safety this year earning a TOP SAFETY PICK or TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating from the IIHS.
