May 26th, 2020 by

Honda designs their SUVs with safety in mind, which is why almost all safety features are standard across all five trim levels: LX, EX, EX-L, Touring, and Black Edition. If you’re interested in the 2020 Honda Pilot, you’re likely purchasing a new family SUV which means that keeping your family safe on the road is an absolute priority. There’s no reason for parents to lose sleep over their children’s safety when Honda has built out safety features to give you some much-needed peace of mind.

Let’s learn all about the features Honda has created to keep your family safe on those busy Charlotte, North Carolina roads.

Is the Honda Pilot Safe?

Yes! In fact, the 2020 Pilot actually received an award for being a Top Safety Pick from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The SUV also received a 5-star rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The awards speak for themselves, but let’s dive into the specifics of some of these safety features!

What is Honda Sensing®?

The Honda Pilot is equipped with a variety of safety and driver-assistive technologies to keep you safe and confident on the road. Honda has also made these features standard on all five of the Pilot trim levels.

Have you ever found yourself slamming on the brakes to avoid an accident?

*Collision Mitigation Braking System™ can help by detecting a collision in front of you. This feature will help you brake to avoid more severe damage and protect both the passengers in all involved vehicles. This system on the Honda Pilot is a great resource to reduce the impact of a crash, which results in additional peace of mind every time you hit the road.

Honda is also trying to be there for you when you swerve or drift into a center lane. The Pilot is equipped with a *Lane Keeping Assist System that can detect when your Honda Pilot begins to stray from your lane and into another without a signal. The steering wheel will slightly adjust to bring you back to the center lane, which keeps your family and other drivers safer.

You’ll also have a *Tire Pressure Monitoring System, a *Multi-Angle Rear View Camera, and more! Those mentioned are merely a few of the safety features available on your 2020 Honda Pilot.

What makes the Honda Pilot safe for my family?

In addition to the high-tech Honda Sensing features, you can also count on numerous airbags throughout your vehicle. Child safety locks are also included in your Honda Pilot. Ultimately, we hope you feel safe placing your most precious cargo in the car. Whether you’re headed to soccer practice, the school pickup line, or the beach, your 2020 Honda Pilot has your back. You can’t protect yourself against everything, but these safety additions definitely help.
