Volvo is probably the marque most associated with vehicle safety, but Acura has become the first automaker to achieve top ratings for its entire lineup from both the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
Acura’s latest TL was the model that put Acura over the top, achieving a 5-star rating from the NHTSA and a Top Safety Pick from the IIHS. “No other automotive brand has accomplished what Acura has, nor can make the safety claims that Acura can,” said John Mendel, executive vice president of automobile sales. “When consumers think safety, they really should think Acura.”
Acura accredits its top safety picks to its “Safety Through Innovation” program and its Automotive Safety Research Facility in Raymond, Ohio.
