Play safe with the CR-V

The CR-V is equipped with Honda’s most advanced safety features. These include ABS brakes, traction and stability control, and a body that’s designed to absorb impacts and protect passengers and pedestrians in the event of a collision. They’re just some of the ways CR-V keeps you safe.

A little help from behind

To help you navigate tricky reverse parking spots, the CR-V Luxury model is fitted with rear parking sensors, so you’ll always know what’s coming up behind you.

 
 
 

Cushioned in safety

Every CR-V now has six airbags: dual front, dual front side, and full-length curtain. Plus, an Occupant Position Detection System gauges driver and front passenger height and helps minimise injuries that can sometimes be caused by the airbags themselves.

Stability control

CR-V’s advanced Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) system combines individual brake control, engine power and Traction Control (TCS) to maintain vehicle stability in critical situations, such as when cornering hard or driving in bad weather.

Smart braking

Smart braking

Along with an Anti-Locking Brake System (ABS), the CR-V has Electronic Brakeforce Distribution to optimally spread braking force to each wheel. In addition, the Brake Assist function works to increase braking output in emergency conditions, increasing stability and control when you need it most.

 

Impact absorbing body

Impact absorbing body

Developed at Honda’s car-to-car crash test facility, G-Force Control (G-Con) vehicle-body technology acts to absorb impact energy in a crash and disperse it away from passengers, helping to reduce risk and provide increased protection to the occupants.

 
 
 

3-point seatbelts

3-point seatbelts

Every seat in the CR-V has a standard 3-point (lap/sash) seatbelt, offering comprehensive lap and shoulder restraint. Plus, the front seats have the added safety of a pre-tensioning system.

 

Full-size spare

Full-size spare

In the unlucky event of a puncture, the CR-V is equipped with a full-size steel spare wheel, or alloy spare in the Sport and Luxury. So you can get back on the road quickly and safely continue on your way.

 
 
 

Keyless entry, engine immobiliser

Keyless entry and an advanced engine immobiliser are standard on all CR-V models. You can be confident that your car and contents are safe, thanks to a fully integrated security alarm system.

Child seat anchors

For greater flexibility, all rear seats come fitted with child safety seat anchors. The versatile CR-V is the perfect car for your family to grow into.

Pedestrian safety

In the event of an accident, CR-V’s impact-absorbing front bumper and bonnet are designed to help reduce the risk of harm to pedestrians.

Anti-whiplash head restraints

CR-V’s active front head restraints move forward and up to absorb impact and help minimise the risk of whiplash and neck injury to you and your passenger if a rear-end collision occurs.
