SMALL OVERLAP FRONT TEST

OVERALL EVALUATION: Good

Important: Frontal crash test ratings can be compared only among vehicles of similar weight.

Test details:

The Honda Accord was redesigned for the 2013 model year.

Structure — The driver space was maintained reasonably well, with maximum intrusion of the lower interior of 17 cm and maximum intrusion of the upper interior of 12 cm.

Restraints/dummy kinematics — The dummy’s movement was well controlled. The dummy’s head loaded the frontal airbag, which stayed in front of the dummy until rebound. The side curtain airbag deployed and had sufficient forward coverage to protect the head from contact with side structure and outside objects. The side torso airbag also deployed.

Injury measures — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.

Action shot taken during the small overlap frontal crash test.
The dummy's position in relation to the door frame, steering wheel, and instrument panel after the crash test indicates that the driver's survival space was maintained reasonably well.
The frontal and side curtain airbags worked well together to keep the head from coming close to any stiff structure or outside objects that could cause injury.
Except for door hinge pillar deformation, intrusion into the driver's space was reasonably well controlled, and risk of injuries to the dummy's legs and feet was low.

Additional features:

Side airbags: front and rear head curtain airbags and front seat-mounted torso airbags
Rollover sensor: designed to deploy the side curtain airbags in the event of an impending rollover
Electronic stability control
Antilock brakes
Daytime running lights
