2025 Honda Civic rated Top Safety Pick

The 2025 Civic Sedan has been named a recipient of the 2024 IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), its highest rating. And the 2025 Civic Hatchback has garnered the 2024 TOP SAFETY PICK rating. These prized awards provide strong evidence of the excellence of Civic safety performance—so owners can enjoy their driving experience with great confidence.

The 2025 Honda Civic lineup continues to impress with its commitment to safety and innovation. Both the Civic Sedan and Civic Hatchback models have earned high recognition from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), a well-regarded authority on vehicle safety. The Civic Sedan has proudly received the 2024 TOP SAFETY PICK+ award, which is the highest honor given by the IIHS. Meanwhile, the Civic Hatchback has secured the prestigious 2024 TOP SAFETY PICK rating. These accolades speak volumes about the advanced safety features that Honda has integrated into these models, ensuring drivers and passengers can travel with peace of mind.

The IIHS awards are not handed out lightly—they are a result of rigorous testing and evaluation in key areas such as crashworthiness, crash avoidance, and mitigation. For the Civic Sedan to achieve the coveted TOP SAFETY PICK+ status, it had to excel in six different crashworthiness tests: small overlap front (driver- and passenger-side), moderate overlap front, side, roof strength, and head restraints and seats. Additionally, the vehicle’s crash prevention system must demonstrate superior performance, particularly in avoiding collisions with other vehicles and pedestrians.

On the other hand, the Civic Hatchback’s TOP SAFETY PICK rating also underscores its robust protection in a variety of crash scenarios. It must meet the same stringent standards for crashworthiness and crash prevention, though the “plus” rating of the Sedan highlights even more refined features. However, both models provide Honda’s suite of cutting-edge driver assistance technologies, including Collision Mitigation Braking System™, Road Departure Mitigation System, Adaptive Cruise Control, and more, making them standouts in their class.
