The world's highest level
of real-world safety performance
Honda's original G-Force Control Technology ensures
high levels of both injury reduction and survival space preservation.
To ensure crash safety, the Civic Hybrid incorporates Honda's original G-Force Control Technology, which ensures high levels of both full-frontal crash protection (important for reducing injuries) and front offset crash protection (important for preserving a survival space). Its new body employs a crash safety design that is among the best in the world, withstanding a 55km/h full-frontal collision, a 64km/h front offset collision, a 55km/h side collision, and a 50km/h rear collision. |

Original Civic Hybrid crash safety measures
Integrating the New Honda IMA System's high-voltage components in a single, compact IPU (Intelligent Power Unit) located behind the rear seat secures crushable zones to protect occupants from rear and side collisions. Stiffeners have also been added to the side sills for increased protection in frontal collisions. In addition, stiffeners have been added inside the side frame with stronger cross-member attachments, for greater protection in rear collisions. And for minor rear collisions, a bulkhead has been added inside the back bumper beam, strengthening mounting sections. |

Vehicle-to-vehicle crash testing in accordance with independently established standards.
Honda carries out its own vehicle-to-vehicle crash testing involving a "50% front offset collision with a 2-ton class vehicle, both vehicles travelling at 5km/h"-our own independent standards established based on analysis of crash data. The Civic Hybrid surpasses these rigorous test criteria. |
