This is proven by the excellent 2021 Honda HR-V safety ratings. To tell you all about them, as well as the features that make them possible, the team at Northside Honda created this guide. Will it give you the confidence boost you need while behind the wheel? Let’s find out.

Safety is crucial while on the roads, not only for you, but for other drivers as well. This is why before any vehicle hits the streets, it goes through thorough testing from two organizations: the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
When this crossover SUV went through its testing, it passed with flying colors. When the NHTSA performed their 2021 inspections, the 2021 Honda HR-V received a 5-Star Overall Safety Rating, the highest score possible.1
2021 results from the IIHS follow the same theme. They gave the 2021 Honda HR-V a score of “Good” across all Crashworthiness tests—also the highest score possible—allowing this model to give you the assurance you deserve.

What makes a vehicle score so well in crash tests? There are a lot of key players in this arena, from the structure of the model to the passive safety features of the vehicle. It also has a lot to do with advanced safety systems, like driver-assistive technologies.
The 2021 HR-V makes a wide selection of driving aids available in its Honda Sensing® suite. Using cameras, radar, and sensors throughout the SUV, these features help you keep an eye on what is around you and even step in when needed to help prevent collisions.
There is also a plethora of other driver-assistive technologies available for the Honda HR-V to accommodate you even more. Some include:
