2021 Honda Odyssey Safety Ratings

In the automotive industry, there are two groups that are regarded as the authority on vehicle safety: the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

When new models hit showrooms, the NHTSA and IIHS subject them to rigorous crash and road tests to determine how safe they are.

The 2021 Honda Odyssey has the distinction of earning both a 5-star overall vehicle score from the NHTSA as well as being named an IIHS 2021 TOP SAFETY PICK+.¹

With these safety ratings, you can rest assured that the Honda Odyssey has what it takes to protect you and your family.

Honda Odyssey Safety Technology 

The crux of the Honda Odyssey minivan safety array is its technology. It comes with several features, both standard and optional, to improve its protective abilities. You’ll love how the technology of this vehicle enhances your handling and situational awareness on a daily basis.

Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) and Traction Control

One of the keys to staying safe on the road is to maintain control at all times, which is much easier with standard VSA® and the Traction Control system.

These features pair together to reduce unnecessary wheel spin and increase your overall tire grip by applying brake pressure when they detect slippage in the wheels. That way, you enjoy steady handling even when road conditions aren’t at their best.

Multi-Angle Rearview Camera with Guidelines 

For some drivers (even seasoned ones), parking can be something of a challenge. Fortunately, it’s not nearly as difficult when you have the standard Multi-Angle Rearview Camera with Guidelines.

This feature not only shows you what’s behind your car but also provides guides to help you get safely into and out of a parking spot.

Brake Assist

In order to give you the extra brake force you need in an emergency, the 2021 Honda Odyssey is further equipped with a standard Brake Assist. Your minivan can detect how hard and fast you’re pressing on the brake pedal. In response to the hard braking, your vehicle can provide extra brake force to bolster your stopping power.

Hill Start Assist

In order to provide you with extra control while you’re driving in hilly areas, this vehicle offers a standard Hill Start Assist. When you’re stopped on an incline or decline in traffic, your minivan will keep your brakes applied for a few seconds when moving from the brake pedal to the accelerator. This provides more safety for you so you don’t find yourself rolling down the hill toward traffic.

Driver-Assistive Features

In addition to the above Honda Sensing® systems, you’ll find even more features to help streamline your driving experience.

Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow

When you’re on the highway, it’s good to make sure you can relax while maintaining a safe distance from the vehicle in front. The standard Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow system keeps you at a set following distance by automatically slowing down when your vehicle gets too close to one in front. You can count on this feature to let you stay in cruise control for longer.

Auto High-Beam Headlights

If you’re traveling at night, you don’t want to find yourself turning your high beams on and off all the time. To help simplify the process, the standard Auto High-Beam Headlights will automatically shut off your high beams as other vehicles approach.

This ensures not only that you remain comfortable, but that the road is more visible for oncoming drivers.

Lane Keeping Assist System

If you begin to drift into the lane next to you, your minivan is equipped to correct your steering using the standard Lane Keeping Assist System. This feature works to correct your steering so you’re kept comfortably in your intended lane. Not only does this improve driver comfort, but it also enhances road safety by preventing unintended lane changes.

Traffic Sign Recognition System

Don’t miss out on a vital piece of road information with the standard Traffic Sign Recognition System. It intelligently reads the road and alerts you to detected do not enter, stop, speed limit, and yield signs.

Blind Spot Information System with Cross Traffic Monitor

With the available Blind Spot Information System, you’ll have a light on your side mirror to let you know about vehicles in your blind spots. This helps ensure that you don’t make any unsafe lane changes while you’re on the highway.

When backing out of a parking space or a driveway, the Cross Traffic Monitor will keep you alerted by letting you know when a vehicle is approaching.
