New CR-V Receives 5-Star NHTSA Ratings

New CR-V Receives 5-Star NHTSA Ratings
The all-new 2007 Honda CR-V has earned 5-Star safety ratings for both frontal and side impact performance from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), American Honda Motor Co., Inc., announced today. A 5-Star rating is the highest government safety rating. With this rating, all 2007 Honda light trucks have now achieved 5-Star frontal and side impact crash safety ratings. Honda is the only full-line brand to have achieved this distinction.

“We are determined to provide Honda customers with confidence and peace of mind when it comes to safety, and these 5-star crash safety ratings for our light trucks are a great symbol of the safety our vehicles offer,” said John Mendel, senior vice president of American Honda Motor Co., Inc. “Consumers looking for trucks with the best possible government crash safety ratings can’t go wrong with a Honda.”

Honda’s complete line of 5-Star crash safety rated light trucks includes the 2007 Honda CR-V, the 2007 Honda Element, the 2007 Honda Odyssey, the 2007 Honda Pilot and the 2007 Honda Ridgeline pickup. As part of Honda’s “Safety for Everyone” initiative, all trim levels of these vehicles include standard Vehicle Stability Assist(TM) (VSA(R)), standard side-curtain airbags with a rollover sensor, standard driver’s and front passenger’s airbags (SRS) and standard front-side air bags with a passenger-side Occupant Position Detection System.

I think it depends on the wreck whether or not it gets five stars. Your example proves my point, but I think that Honda tests their cars numerous times so that the ratio of good wrecks to bad wrecks are as far apart as possible so they will more than likely get five stars when the government tests them.

The previous CRV did the same, and it was one of the first to earn a five star side impact rating as well.

the previous CR-V was also one of very few cars to get 3 out of 4 pedestrian stars in ENCAP.

I like the new CR-V. It may be targeted towards women, but it's quite stylish on the road.

And this is a surprise why...

I could have told you that it would have gotten five stars, every Honda gets five stars.

That is really good in an accident, but too bad the CRV has such screwball styling.

One slight concern is that it is exact carbon copy of the RDX.....

well I am driving a TSX now and loving it, very reliable not exactly fun to drive compare to my Audi.

no, it's not. the CR-V and the RDX share something like 10% of their parts. the engines aren't the same, and the AWD systens aren't the same.

It's like people saying Audis are the same as VWs.

Don't go there, you sound like a hypocrite.

Even if the CR-V and the RDX were the same, they're both good. I don't know why some people dislike the RDX- I think it's smart and cool-looking.

Why is it that Hondas get 5 stars in the crash test,but in a real life crash,they crush like a soda can?
