2017 Honda Civic Hatchback - Crash Test

Euro NCAP Frontal Impact takes place at 64 Km/h, 40% of the width of the car striking a deformable barrier. In the Full Width test, 100% of the width of the car impacts a rigid barrier at 50 Km/h. In the side impact, a mobile deformable barrier impacts the driver's door at 50 km/h. In the pole test, the car tested is propelled sideways at 32 km/h into a rigid pole.

ADULT OCCUPANT
Comments
The passenger compartment remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and
femurs of the driver and passenger. Honda showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes and
to those sat in different positions. In the full-width rigid barrier test, protection of the driver was good or adequate. However, for the rear
passenger, dummy readings of chest compression indicated a weak level of protection for this part of the body. For the side barrier and
side pole tests, the Civic scored maximum points with good protection of all critical body areas. Tests on the front seats and head
restraints demonstrated good protection against whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision. However, a geometric assessment of
the rear seats indicated poor whiplash protection in those positions. The standard-fit autonomous emergency braking system performed
well in tests of its functionality at the low speeds typical of city driving at which many whiplash injuries are caused, with collisions avoided at
all test speeds.

CHILD OCCUPANT
Comments
In the frontal offset test, dummy readings of neck tensions indicated marginal protection for both the 6 and the 10 year dummy. In the 10
year dummy, chest deceleration also indicated weak protection of this part of the chest. In the side barrier test, the head of the 10 year
dummy (on the impacted side) 'bottomed out' the curtain airbag and a hard contact was recorded. This hard contact and the head injury
values it generated indicated poor head protection. The front passenger airbag can be disabled to allow a rearward-facing child restraint
to be used in that seating position. Clear information is provided to the driver regarding the status of the airbag and the system was
rewarded. Nevertheless, universal restraints failed the installation test on the front passenger seat owing to the position of the buckle.
Otherwise, all restraint types for which the Civic is designed could be installed and accommodated in the car.

PEDESTRIAN PROTECTION
Comments
The bonnet provided predominantly good or adequate protection to the head of a struck pedestrian but weak and poor results were
recorded along the base of the windscreen and along the stiff windscreen pillars. The protection provided by the bumper to pedestrians'
legs was good at all test locations and maximum points were scored. Protection of the pelvis was also good. The autonomous emergency
braking system can detect pedestrians as well as other vehicles. In tests, the system performed well with impacts avoided or mitigated at
all test speeds.

SAFETY ASSIST
Comments
The autonomous emergency braking system performed well in the tests of its functionality at highways speeds, with collisions avoided or
mitigated at all test speeds. The Civic has a seatbelt reminder system for the front and rear seats. Also standard is an intelligent speed
limiter. This indicates the local speed limit to the driver, who can then choose to set the limiter appropriately. A lane keep assistance
system alerts the driver when the car is drifting out of lane and gently steers the car away from the lane marking.

My brother and I hydroplaned directly into a concrete wall head on going about 40 and we were both perfectly fine and his civic was completely trashed. He is a terrible driver and if not for how safe this car is we would both be dead. So from personal experience I can say yes, this car is very safe. His was a coupe as well, I believe the Hatchback got a higher safety rating.

[RobMotive]

Wow. I'd hate to have this happen to my Civic Hatch, but It's good to know how the car performed.

[djs]

Good to know my Honda can survive that kind of impact. What a relief....

[FlyinGato]

I have that EXACT car in that color as well, heart sank when I saw it crash. Glad it can take an impact though.

[markgabrielzamora]

I appreciate my honda civic sport 2019 in white even more. Loving my first car.

[SK-ltso]

Very impressive performance by the hatchback

[loverboydaydreams]

I’ve been in a crash with my mum’s Honda Civic
It was an 2006 sedan so it was quite old and it was a minor crash but we were all alright and made it with no bruises or anything
I think it is an amazing car

[Tjmomma]

The music sounds like were going to war

[LyricalBlock]

nothing happens to the cabin..great Honda civic

[anonymousdancers]

And now I know why I was fine after my accident two weeks ago.

[abrahamcardenas]

I have this 2017 hatchback and now I feel very safe in it 👍

[aggproduction]

Wow. Honda performed great in these tests.

[elitegaming]

Rest in peace those cars which were used for the test...

[michaellyons]

It's better than most of the crash videos I have seen.

[AshToxin]

You hate to see this beautiful piece of machinery getting destroyed like this

[Qwik]

I had a front end collision with my hatch and although not as bad as this, the air bag was deployed and thankfully I came out alive. My shoulder was in pain but rather have that than be dead.

[JDNord]

Those back seat kids must be jake paupers cause they were dabbing on the haters

[MavAuto-Pete]

Such a solid, honest, reliable, safe car

[adventure]

Heartfelt seeing these beauties crash but it’s good to to know my Civic can take a hit.

[michaelmassart]

Interesting, well done brave Civic. Question: why is a rear end impact not / never simulated during crash testing? These happen all the time irl ..
