With safety being a key factor in choosing the perfect family vehicle the 2014 Odyssey Minivan, now available at Brannon Honda, is leading the pack. The 2014 Honda Odyssey, made right here in Alabama,  is the first minivan to get the best rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.  It passed with flying colors in the rigorous series of crash tests including the small overlap front crash test. These types of collisions are among some of the most common and deadliest that occurs.

By passing these tests with a rating of “good” the Odyssey is proven to be a top pick for safety among drivers. Honda is leading the way in safety when compared to competition. Honda has made its vehicles safer in recent years because that lies at the forefront of a consumers mind. Safety is a priority and will never be compromised for design or any other aspect of the vehicle.

Some of the safety features on the Honda Odyssey include next-generation Advanced Compatibility Engineering body structure. Standard safety equipment on all Honda models includes the Vehicle Stability Assist with traction control, an Anti-lock Braking System, side curtain airbags, dual-stage, multiple-threshold front airbags and front side airbags. Honda’s commitment to safety for all passengers and even pedestrians goes above and beyond with safety features like daytime running lights that enhance the visibility to oncoming traffic and pedestrians. The Odyssey also features a front three-point seat belt with automatic tensioning system. A lane departure warning keeps drivers alert if they drift into other lanes of traffic.

Also new on the 2014 Honda Odyssey is a new type of side curtain airbag that includes a front chamber design with additional protection in situations where occupants move in a more angled outboard trajectory, such as an oblique or offset crash.

The Honda Odyssey joins the Honda Civic in being named the highest rating possible by the IIHS with the 2013 Top Safety Pick. The 2014 Honda Odyssey is also a local favorite in Birmingham thanks to the plant in Talladega. Come see us today at Brannon Honda and experience firsthand everything the 2014 Honda Odyssey has to offer in safety features.
