The new Honda Civic e:HEV has been awarded the maximum five-star rating after a series of tests by Euro NCAP. Honda is striving for zero traffic collision fatalities involving its vehicles by 2050. In doing so, the company aims not just to reduce fatal collisions but eliminate risks that lead to collisions.
Aside from Adult Occupant Protection, the Civic Hybrid also scored well in the Child Occupant Protection category thanks to ISOFIX mounting points that conform to the latest European i-Size standards. Pedestrian protection was also considered with the fitment of newly designed front bumper beam safety plates. They’re designed to absorb impact energy to reduce the risk of leg fractures and knee ligament damage for pedestrians in a collision.
