Enhanced Safety Technologies for All-Round Protection
The latest CR-V models feature advanced safety technologies, including the enhanced Honda SENSING and SENSING 360 systems. These systems incorporate sonar sensors and a front wide-view camera, providing a comprehensive 360° view around the vehicle. By utilising object recognition and detection capabilities, the CR-V can identify road lines, verges, motorcycles, cyclists, and other vehicles, enhancing overall safety.
One notable feature of the Honda SENSING 360 system is the improved Front Cross Traffic Warning. This feature detects vehicles to the left, right, and in front of the car, alerting the driver through audible, visual, and tactile alerts if approaching with excessive speed. In the event that the driver fails to respond, the Collision Mitigation Braking System is triggered, applying light brake pressure to reduce the likelihood or severity of a frontal impact. If a collision is imminent, the system will automatically brake forcefully.
Strengthened Chassis and Body for Enhanced Protection
In addition to advanced safety technologies, the CR-V's chassis and body have been reinforced to enhance protection in the event of a collision. These structural improvements are aimed at meeting stringent Euro NCAP crash impact safety standards for Adult Occupant Protection.
The CR-V's body incorporates multiple load paths within the side frame and upper chassis member, efficiently absorbing collision energy away from occupants. The A-pillar has also been designed and reinforced to suppress deformation of the passenger cell, further enhancing safety.
To conform to new crash tests, such as the Mobile Progressive Deformable Barrier (MPDB), Advanced European Mobile Deformable Barrier, and 32km/h pole crash tests, the CR-V chassis now includes additional floor cross members. These additions minimize floor deformation in the event of side collisions, providing improved protection.
