Amherst, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/29/2011 -- The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has named the 2012 Honda CR-V as a Top Safety Pick in the small SUV segment. Don Davis Honda is proud to announce that the IIHS Top Safety Pick 2012 CR-V is now available for purchase at their dealership in Buffalo, NY.

The IIHS decides which cars earn the Top Safety Pick title by evaluating which vehicles provide the best protection in front, side, rollover, and rear crashes. The 2012 Honda CR-V definitely provides protection with its smart construction. The 2012 CR-V has an Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ Body Structure that is built for passenger safety. The advanced design distributes crash energy more evenly throughout the vehicle to eliminate the crash energy force on passengers inside.

The 2012 Honda CR-V also provides great protection to everyone on board with its multiple airbags. The 2012 CR-V has dual-stage, multiple-threshold front airbags that only deploy the appropriate air bags at an appropriate inflation level, depending on the severity of the crash.

The front and passenger side airbags in the 2012 CR-V help protect the driver’s or front passenger’s upper body. Finally, the side curtain airbags provide protection to both front and rear-seat passengers, by reducing the risk of head and neck injuries in a collision or rollover.

For further protection, the 2012 Honda CR-V also offers protection with its Vehicle Stability Assist™ system. Vehicle Stability Assist™ controls the braking of each individual wheel appropriately, to prevent the 2012 CR-V from veering off the road. This system also includes traction control to help prevent the wheels from spinning on slippery roads.

In addition to its safety features, this Top Safety Pick CR-V is equipped with a 2.4-liter, 16 valve DOHC i-VTEC®, 4-cylinder engine that delivers 185 hp.
