Two of Acura’s latest vehicles have scored the top 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score in NHTSA’s New Car Program. The two vehicles that top the league are the all-new 2014 Acura RDX luxury crossover SUV and the lavish new sport utility vehicle offering; the 2014 Acura MDX. Both the company’s new vehicles have managed an impressive 5 star score for frontal and side impact as well as a 4 star score for rollover assistance across the panel.

The company engineers have been committed to engineering top-level vehicle safety standards and aim to score an impressive panel rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Acura plans to take the highest rating of GOOD in the Institute’s new test benchmarks testing the new small overlap test.
