AcuraWatch™ Powers Entire Acura Sedan Line to Top NHTSA Safety Score
Stellar performance and world-class luxury aren’t the only qualities Acura models have going for them. Safety also plays an integral role in the development of each and every Acura, evidenced by innovations like the AcuraWatch™ suite of safety technologies. This commitment hasn't gone unnoticed as the entire Acura sedan model line recently earned 5-Star safety ratings from the NHTSA.
While nothing substitutes good driving habits, AcuraWatch™ contributes to the overall safety of both driver and passengers with a comprehensive list of features that make driving safer and easier. These include a Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (including Forward Collision Warning), Road Departure Mitigation, a Multi-View Rear Camera with Dynamic Guidelines, as well as Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Keeping Assist System, with sensor-fusion technology that enables new capabilities, including pedestrian sensing.
With this latest recognition, the list of Acura sedans to earn a 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score from the NHTSA’s New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) now includes:
- the 2016 Acura ILX
- the flagship RLX luxury sedan
- the TLX performance-luxury sedan
The 2016 ILX in particular features the brand’s Next-Generation Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure, which utilizes a broad network of connected structural elements to help distribute crash energy more evenly throughout the front of the vehicle. The result is a vehicle that is safer and therefore much more enjoyable to operate.
Coupling advanced engineering and automotive technologies allow Acura’s lineup of sedans exceptional safety, and directly contribute to Acura’s position as a leader in automotive safety.
