The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) defines and defends safety standards across the many classes of vehicles available today. Their most prestigious award is the Top Safety Pick+. It's an award that eludes all but the safest of today's vehicles. The Pilot needed to meet the IIHS's stringent series of tests and judgments to take home this accolade.
The 2025 Honda Pilot is a Top Safety Pick+
The Honda Pilot is a frequent winner of this award. With Honda's "Safety for Everyone" approach guiding their team, they're able to meet high IIHS standards. Honda Sensing, their most intelligent features bundled together under a single banner, is a big reason why the 2025 Pilot will be a top pick in terms of safety. The latest version includes intelligent features like collision mitigation, pedestrian detection, and adaptive cruise control. Smart features enhance driver awareness and reaction time, bolstering the Pilot's impressive physical stature.
In addition to smart safety features, Honda also builds SUVs with Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure principles. ACE works on two fronts to protect families. Honda models are designed to anticipate and reinforce areas of the SUV's body that might face a collision someday. Occupants are also guarded by extra restraints that will hold even in the face of enormous force during an accident. With both intelligent and physical safety features on its side, the 2025 Pilot was built to be a Top Safety Pick+.
Top Safety Pick+ awards are distributed based on test results in six primary categories that reveal how well the vehicle performs in crash prevention and front, side, and overlap front conditions. The IIHS also tests the vehicle's headlights to ensure that it meets or exceeds industry standards. To cement its Top Safety Pick+ award, the 2025 Pilot needed to rate as advanced or superior for daytime and nighttime vehicle-to-pedestrian front crash prevention. The 2025 model had no problem meeting all these IIHS safety standards. Honda's commitment to updating their family SUVs is evident in the amazing safety ratings of the latest Pilot.
