Safety is one of the most important aspects you want to consider in a vehicle that you’re thinking about making your next car. Recently, Honda and Toyota have gone the extra mile to give drivers near Amherst, Manchester, and Derry, NH, the confidence they want behind the wheel with their own unique active safety bundles that offer a wide variety of handy features.
In this comparison, we at Ira Toyota of Manchester will introduce you to Honda Sensing® and Toyota Safety Sense™ and show you how these two safety suites compare. That way, you can decide which safety suite is best suited for your family’s needs. Read ahead to get started!
Before anything else, we first have to look at all of the features offered with both the Honda Sensing® and Toyota Safety Sense™ systems:
|
Honda Sensing® |
Toyota Safety Sense™ |
|
Collision Mitigation Braking System™ Road Departure Mitigation System Adaptive Cruise Control Lane Keeping Assist System Traffic Sign Recognition |
Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection and available Bicyclist Detection Lane Departure Alert with available Steering Assist and Road Edge Detection Automatic High Beams Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with available Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control Road Sign Assist Lane Tracing Assist |
As you can see, there’s a bit of overlap with both the Honda Sensing® suite and the Toyota Safety Sense™ suite, offering road sign recognition, collision prevention systems, and adaptive cruise control features.
These smart features act like a co-pilot to help you prevent potential collisions and even act automatically to reduce your likelihood of being involved in an accident.
However, Toyota Safety Sense™ offers six enhanced active safety features with a plethora of additional available features that you can opt for, while the Honda Sensing® bundle offers just five features total. Additionally, Honda Sensing® leaves a few gaps in their features where the Toyota Safety Sense™ bundle creates an airtight and comprehensive safety system.
Honda Sensing® offers collision mitigation technology, but only in regard to other vehicles. Toyota Safety Sense™ picks up the slack by including detection technology for other vehicles as well as pedestrians and bicyclists on the road.
Another perk of the Toyota Safety Sense™ suite is that it comes standard on just about every Toyota model available, including…
In total, that’s 20 different models. Plus, if this safety suite isn’t offered standard on a specific Toyota model, it’s offered as an available feature. Honda Sensing®, on the other hand, comes standard on just 11 of its models.
While the Honda Sensing® safety suite offers a few great features, the Toyota Safety Sense™ goes the extra mile and covers every base, not just some of them.
Shoppers near Amherst, Manchester, and Derry, New Hampshire, can experience the Toyota Safety Sense™ suite for themselves by taking a test drive in one of the many Toyota models that offer it.
