When it comes to finding a new vehicle, safety is always at the top of every driver’s checklist – especially here in New York City, where the roads are always bustling. Whether you’re commuting from Brooklyn to Manhattan or taking your family on a weekend trip, you want a vehicle you can trust to keep you protected at every turn.

That’s where Honda stands out. Every new Honda, from the sporty Civic to the family-friendly Pilot, comes equipped with Honda Sensing®, a suite of advanced safety and driver-assist technologies designed to help you stay aware, avoid accidents, and drive with total confidence.

At Bay Ridge Honda, we’re proud to offer some of the safest cars in NYC, equipped with cutting-edge features that make every drive smarter and safer.

What Is Honda Sensing®?

Honda Sensing® is a standard safety package available across most new Honda models. It’s designed to support you in real-world driving conditions, from stop-and-go traffic in Brooklyn to long stretches on the BQE or Belt Parkway.

These intelligent systems use cameras, sensors, and radar to monitor the road, alert you to potential hazards, and even take corrective action when necessary.

Here’s a closer look at the standout features that make every Honda a smart choice for safety-minded drivers:

1. Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™)

CMBS™ helps reduce the likelihood or severity of a front-end collision. If the system detects an unavoidable collision, it automatically applies the brakes to minimize impact.

In stop-and-go traffic or unexpected situations – like someone cutting you off on Flatbush Avenue – CMBS™ can react faster than human reflexes.

2. Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM)

This feature helps you stay on the road by detecting when you’re drifting without signaling. If you start to cross lane lines, RDM can apply steering and braking corrections to guide you back safely.

3. Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)

LKAS actively keeps your vehicle centered in its lane by making gentle steering adjustments.

On tight expressways like the BQE or Gowanus, LKAS helps reduce the stress of constant steering corrections – especially during heavy traffic.

4. Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow

This intelligent cruise control system maintains a set following distance from the vehicle ahead and can slow down or speed up automatically, even bringing your car to a complete stop in traffic.

Ideal for NYC commuters dealing with unpredictable traffic patterns.

5. Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR)

TSR uses a small camera to detect road signs like speed limits and displays them on your dashboard.

It’s easy to miss a speed limit sign when driving through multiple NYC neighborhoods; TSR helps you stay aware and avoid unnecessary tickets.

Honda: A Leader in Safety Recognition

Honda vehicles consistently earn Top Safety Pick+ ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and high safety scores from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

Whether you’re considering the 2025 Honda CR-V, Accord, HR-V, or Pilot, you can drive with peace of mind knowing your vehicle is engineered with industry-leading safety in mind.

Drive Safe. Drive Honda.
