All-New 2023 Honda Accord Earns IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ Rating

The all-new 2023 Honda Accord has earned the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s (IIHS) highest accolade, the 2023 TOP SAFETY PICK+ (TSP+) rating. The new Accord, a model that has long set the standard for midsize car safety performance, earned the Institute’s highest possible ratings in six out of seven evaluated categories. This includes Accord’s standard front crash prevention system, which earned a “SUPERIOR” rating from IIHS in the daytime and an “ADVANCED” rating in the nighttime vehicle-to-pedestrian avoidance tests.

To qualify for a 2023 TOP SAFETY PICK+ award, a vehicle must earn “GOOD” ratings in all crashworthiness evaluations, including the driver-side small overlap front, passenger-side small overlap front, updated side test, and original moderate overlap front tests. This year’s TSP+ criteria also include a new nighttime vehicle-to-pedestrian front crash prevention test. Advanced or superior performance is required in both the nighttime and daytime pedestrian tests for the higher award, as well as “ACCEPTABLE” or “GOOD” headlight ratings across all trim levels.

In addition to IIHS testing, every Honda model that has been fully evaluated in the NHTSA’s 2023 model year NCAP testing has received a 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score1.
