These Three Acura Vehicles Are 2023 Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) Top Safety Pick Award Winners

There are many things about Acura vehicles that we love here at Neil Huffman Acura at Oxmoor. 

We are incredibly proud to sell Acura’s ever-improving lineup of vehicles because the automaker has demonstrated, year after year, a commitment to being a standard-bearer in all areas of automobile design and manufacturing. 

One such area is safety, which Acura has definitively secured a reputation as one of the most reliably safe producers of vehicles. 

This was supported by Acura’s recent sweep of the 2023 Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) Top Safety Pick Awards. 

Acura and the IIHS Awards

Three Acura vehicles were awarded with the Top Safety Pick Plus (TSP+) award. 

It is a big enough deal to get a TSP+ award for just one of your vehicles. This is because the IIHS awards are like the Oscars for automobile safety: Everyone in the automobile industry pays attention to the awards because they are prestigious, partly because the awards have traditionally been difficult to win.

It was more difficult than ever this year, too. 

New, More Rigorous Safety Testing for the IIHS Awards

This year, the IIHS Awards subjected candidate vehicles to the most rigorous safety testing in IIHS history. 

One example is that the side crash test now involves 82 percent more energy than the original test. 

Other key changes include increased pressure on creating sophisticated pedestrian crash prevention systems and better headlight performance that helps both the driver, and other drivers, on the road. 

You can rest assured, then, that when you buy an Acura vehicle from Neil Huffman Acura at Oxmoor, you are getting one of the safest cars you can take on the road. 

This is especially the case if you buy any of the three Top Safety Pick Plus winners. 

These Three Vehicles are Top Safety Pick Plus Winners

All three vehicles feature the AcuraWatch safety technology system, which includes collision monitoring systems that detect pedestrians, oncoming traffic, and other potential problems on the road. 

One such feature is the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), which will automatically apply the brakes when there is a potential frontal impact.

Among the winners, first up is the 2023 Acura Integra is a sport compact vehicle that passed the safety tests. Compared to SUVs, compact vehicles are much more difficult to pass a safety test.  

In fact, it is so difficult to pass IIHS’ safety test with a small car, that Acura was the only automaker that managed to win a small car TSP+ award, as you can see here. 

What’s more, the 2023 Acura Integra earned “superior” rankings in the front crash prevention category. 

If you are in the market for an SUV, however, you can get some of the safest on the road with the 2023 Acura MDX or the other midsize luxury sedan winner, the 2023 Acura RDX. 

The 2023 Acura MDX earned high scores, earning “superior” rankings in many categories. The same goes for the 2023 Acura RDX’s rankings. 

If you are in the market for an exceptionally safe vehicle, when you buy any of these Top Safety Pick Plus vehicles from Neil Huffman Acura, you are sure to get the best price on the market.
