Test details:
The Honda Accord was redesigned for the 2013 model year. Two side tests of the Accord were conducted, one by the Institute and the other by Honda as part of side crash test verification. Ratings are based on both tests.
Injury measures:
Driver — In both tests, measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.
Rear passenger — In both tests, measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.
Head protection:
Driver — In both tests, the dummy's head was protected from being hit by any hard structures, including the intruding barrier, by a side curtain airbag that deployed from the roof.
Rear passenger — In both tests, the dummy's head was protected from being hit by any hard structures, including the intruding barrier, by a side curtain airbag that deployed from the roof.
