    Acura lineup tops government, IIHS safety ratings

    Consumer Reports News: April 01, 2009 04:04 PM

    Acura is the only auto manufacturer to have their complete lineup top government and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) crash test ratings. The Acura RL, TL, TSX, MDX, and RDX have all scored Good in front-, side-, and rear-crash protection and all have electronic stability control--a requirement to earn the Institute's Top Safety Pick award.

    In the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) tests of side- and front-impact crash safety for front and rear passengers, all vehicles received the highest five-star rating. Interestingly, all Subarus are scored as Top Picks in IIHS tests, but not every model received the five-star rating in all of the NHTSA tests.

    In addition to their high safety Ratings, models from Honda and Acura, combined, are ranked the highest in our automaker report cards for standout performance in Consumer Reports testing and in reliability surveys. They score well in our Ratings, especially in areas such as handling, ride, and fuel economy.
