CR-Z

The Honda CR-Z, is set to hit Australian shores
mid 2011 and has scored a maximum 5-star rating in the latest
independent crash testing results from Euro NCAP.
Euro NCAP's rating scheme focuses on the vehicle's
overall safety performance which gives consumers an easy to understand
single score. The system considers occupant protection in frontal,
side, pole and rear impacts, child protection, pedestrian protection
and the availability of driver aids.
The CR-Z is the latest in a series of Honda cars
to receive top marks. The Honda Insight, which will be introduced later
this year was also named “safest hybrid vehicle” as well as the 2nd
safest vehicle tested in 2009.
Euro NCAP's new assessment reflects Honda’s
commitment to overall vehicle safety, complimenting Honda's long
standing in-house safety testing which seeks to improve real world
safety.
