The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) establishes safety benchmarks for different vehicle categories and ensures they are upheld. Their most prestigious accolade, the Top Safety Pick+ award, is reserved for only the safest vehicles on the road today. The Pilot underwent the IIHS's rigorous evaluations to secure this distinction.
The 2025 Honda Pilot Wins Top Safety Pick+
The Honda Pilot is no stranger to earning this award. With Honda's "Safety for Everyone" philosophy guiding its engineering, it continually meets the IIHS's strict standards. The 2025 Pilot owes much of its success to the Honda Sensing suite of safety features, which includes collision mitigation, pedestrian detection, and adaptive cruise control. These smart technologies work together to keep drivers alert and responsive, complementing the Pilot's strong physical frame.
Honda's commitment to safety extends to the construction of their vehicles, with the Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure being a cornerstone of their design. ACE ensures key areas of the vehicle are reinforced and provides additional restraints to protect passengers during collisions. These combined intelligent and structural safety features helped the 2025 Pilot earn its Top Safety Pick+ status.
To win the Top Safety Pick+ award, vehicles must pass six critical crash prevention tests, including front, side, and overlap crashes. The IIHS also evaluates headlights and pedestrian crash prevention in both daytime and nighttime conditions. The 2025 Pilot excelled in all of these areas, continuing Honda's tradition of producing safe, reliable vehicles.
