The Odyssey has long stood out from the crowd in terms of comfort, but it is also significantly safer than the other minivans on the market. The 2014 Honda Odyssey safety ratings simply confirm the advanced abilities of this quality minivan, especially when compared to the other options available.
IIHS Ratings
The 2014 Odyssey earned a Good rating from the IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) on the small overlap frontal crash test, which is the top possible rating. This test aims to show what would happen if the front corner of the minivan was in a collision. The model also earned the designation as a Top Safety Pick+ when it has the available front crash prevention.
Safety Features
To increase safety in the 2014 Odyssey, Honda relied on the Advanced Compatibility Engineering body structure, which improves the management of energy during crashes. Other standard safety features include ABS, various airbags, and Vehicle Stability Assist with traction control.
Leads the Segment
While the Honda Odyssey safety ratings from the IIHS are impressive enough, keep in mind that it was the very first minivan to ever receive a Top Safety Pick+ rating, which first occurred in August 2013. It is also the only minivan to earn the Good rating for the small overlap front crash test. This means that no other minivan even comes close in terms of safety. In fact, the Odyssey received 5 stars from the NHTSA in every category except rollover, where it received a 4. These numbers put it ahead of the Toyota Sienna and the Chrysler Town & Country, among other competitors.
