The team at Andy Mohr Honda has written this review to show you what terrific features the Odyssey employs to earn such high safety ratings. Come see how safe your next minivan can be!
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.
A Strong Safety Structure
The Odyssey embodies safety from top to bottom. To start, it’s been designed with Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™). ACE™ bodies employ front and rear crumple zones. These absorb collision forces as well as deflect them.
This vehicle is then lined with multiple advanced airbags, including the intelligent-deploying SmartVent® airbags. SmartVent® provides added side protection to occupants sitting upfront.
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.
The Honda Sensing® Suite
In order to make sure you’re ready for anything the road might throw your way, this minivan is further engineered with the Honda Sensing® suite. This technology suite comes with features that help react to events on the road before they become collisions. The result is peace of mind that can help prevent accidents from happening altogether.
Forward Collision Warning
At the forefront of the Honda Sensing® suite technology is the standard Forward Collision Warning. This feature uses sensors to detect when you’re approaching another vehicle too quickly and warns you so you can make the necessary changes.
Collision Mitigation Braking System™
If the brakes are not applied in time, the standard Collision Mitigation Braking System™ can engage the brakes to bring your vehicle to a stop before a frontal collision can occur.
Road Departure Mitigation System
The standard Road Departure Mitigation System detects when you’ve crossed over detected lanes without signaling. It then provides steering assistance to help you return to your lane. If needed, it can even provide braking to ensure you stay on the roadway.
Lane Departure Warning
The standard Lane Departure Warning reads road markings to let you know when you may be straying from your intended lane.
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.
