What does Honda Sensing include?
Honda Sensing is Honda’s suite of driver‑assist and safety technologies designed to help prevent collisions and assist with driving. The core components are widely available across many models, while newer trims add extra features under Honda Sensing 360. In short, it combines braking, steering, and awareness aids to support the driver.
Core Honda Sensing features
Below are the features that typically make up the standard Honda Sensing package on a broad range of models and trims.
- Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) with Forward Collision Warning (FCW) and automatic braking
- Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow
- Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)
- Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM)
- Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR)
- Auto High-Beam Headlights (AHB)
These core features are designed to monitor the road ahead and the vehicle’s position in its lane, adjust speed, and provide warnings when necessary. Availability can vary by model year, trim level, and market.
Expanded features (Honda Sensing 360 and newer)
On newer models and higher trims, Honda offers additional capabilities that augment the core system, often under the Honda Sensing 360 branding or similar advanced packages.
- Blind Spot Information System (BSI) with Rear Cross-T traffic Monitor
- Lane Change Assist (LCA) to help with safe lane changes when a vehicle is in or approaching the blind spot
- Evasive Steering Assist (ESA) to provide additional steering input during certain emergency braking scenarios
- Cross Traffic Monitor as part of the sensing suite in select models
These advanced features can enhance situational awareness and assist with more complex driving maneuvers, but they are not universally available on every model or trim. Availability depends on model year, hardware, and regional packaging.
Summary
Honda Sensing combines fundamental safety aids—CMBS with FCW, ACC with Low-Speed Follow, LKAS, RDM, TSR, and AHB—with optional advanced capabilities such as BSI, LCA, ESA, and cross-traffic features on newer trims. The exact lineup varies by model, trim, and market, so checking the specifications for your vehicle is essential.
