What are the safety features of the Honda Clarity 2018?

The Honda Clarity 2018 is a hybrid electric vehicle that offers a range of advanced safety features to protect drivers and passengers. From collision avoidance systems to advanced airbag technology, the Clarity is designed to provide a secure and confident driving experience.


Collision Avoidance Systems


The Honda Clarity 2018 is equipped with a suite of collision avoidance systems, including Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). These systems use a combination of radar and camera sensors to detect potential collisions and take corrective action to help avoid or mitigate the impact. CMBS can automatically apply the brakes to help reduce the severity of a collision, while LKAS and ACC help the driver maintain their lane and a safe following distance from the vehicle ahead.


Advanced Airbag Technology


The Honda Clarity 2018 features an advanced airbag system that includes dual-stage, multiple-threshold front airbags, front side airbags, and side curtain airbags with rollover sensor. These airbags are designed to deploy with the appropriate force based on the severity of the collision, helping to protect occupants from injury.


Structural Integrity


The Honda Clarity 2018 is built with a high-strength steel body structure that is designed to absorb and distribute the forces of a collision, helping to protect the occupants. The vehicle also features crumple zones that are engineered to deform in a controlled manner, further reducing the impact on the cabin.


Driver Assistance Features



  • Rearview Camera: Provides a clear view of the area behind the vehicle, making it easier to maneuver and park.

  • Multi-Angle Rearview Camera: Offers three different viewing angles (normal, top-down, and wide) to enhance visibility.

  • Honda LaneWatch: Uses a camera mounted on the passenger-side mirror to display a live feed of the adjacent lane, helping to reduce blind spots.


These advanced safety features, combined with the Clarity's efficient hybrid powertrain and comfortable interior, make it a compelling choice for eco-conscious drivers who prioritize safety and performance.
