Why the 2016 Honda CR-V is the Safest Option for Your Teen

2016 CR-V 5-Star NHTSA Rating

It can be a scary moment when your teenager gets their license, but the Honda CR-V can make it a little less unnerving. The CR-V received a 5-star Overall Vehicle Score, which is the highest score available in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) New Car Assessment Program (NCAP).

This top government safety rating is the icing on the cake of the Honda CR-V. However, there are plenty of other reasons why the CR-V is the best-selling SUV in America. Teens might not think the advanced safety aspects of the CR-V are cool, but they will appreciate the stylish exterior, the fun-to-drive performance, and the fuel-efficiency.

By receiving the 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score from NHTSA, the 2016 Honda CR-V has been proven to also meet the requirements of the agency’s three recommended technologies: the RVS-Rear Video System (back-up camera), FCW Forward Collision Warning and LDW Lane Departure Warning. These three things on their own make the CR-V a safe vehicle; but if you want even more safety features for your teen, they are available as well by adding on the Honda Sensing suite.

Honda Sensing is an available suite of extra safety features that can take the safety level of your Honda CR-V even higher. These features include Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™), Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) and Lane Departure Warning (LDW). These features are great for teenagers who are new to driving on their own.

Honda has tested its vehicles in their crash test facilities to ensure that each one is superior when it comes to crashworthiness, airbag technology, and collision compatibility. It is easy to see why the Honda CR-V makes a great first vehicle for your teen driver; it is stylish AND safe!
