Safety is a top priority for all Acura cars. The manufacturer works hard to ensure that every Acura vehicle meets rigorous safety standards through different tests and scenarios. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has recognized this, with three Acura models receiving the TOP SAFETY PICK+ award for 2023. The Acura of Sherman Oaks team is here to explain which Acura models received this prestigious award and what it means for your Acura vehicle.
What Is the IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ Award?
The IIHS conducts multiple stress tests and safety mechanism checks on numerous vehicles. Cars that pass these tests may receive a TOP SAFETY PICK nomination, which signifies solid safety design. The TOP SAFETY PICK+ award goes to models that go above and beyond in this regard.
Specific safety measures tested for both awards include:
- Crash protection from multiple angles
- Collision prevention systems
- Safety alerting systems
- Adequate headlights
- Solid daytime and nighttime safety performance
Which Acura Cars Won the TOP SAFETY PICK+ Award for 2023?
Three Acura cars won the IIHS’s top honor this year. The 2023 Acura Integra, 2023 Acura MDX, and 2023 Acura RDX all won the TOP SAFETY PICK+ designation.
This is thanks to standard AcuraWatch™ safety features like the Collision Mitigation Braking System™, Road Departure Mitigation System™, and forward collision warning. In addition, the proprietary Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ body also received notice from IIHS testers.
