2011 Honda Odyssey - Safety for your Family doesn’t get much better than this!

Hendrick Honda Woodbridge believes safety is the number one goal.  Honda makes that happen with  the 2011 Honda Odyssey  in fact the Odyssey just made history by becoming the first and only minivan to win the NHTSA’s (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) highest honor of 2011 Top Safety Pick.  The Odyssey also won the highest possible safety ratings for the IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) and the NHTSA.  Not only did it pass stringent testing for front, side, rear and rollover crashes in protecting vehicle occupants, it even passed the rigorous roof-strength test.
The 2011 Odyssey was also one of the first vehicles to win the “Overall Vehicle Score” of 5 stars for crash scenarios, and 4 stars for the rollover rating as the federal New Car Assessment Program (NCAP), being applied for the first time to 2011 models. 
What makes the 2011 Odyssey so different? 
With increased interior functionality, more distinctive styling and better fuel economy have helped make the new Odyssey a winner among Honda and minivan drivers all around.  Aside from more comfortable seating and a more powerful, efficient 3.5 liter i-VTEC engine that delivers 248 horsepower, there is a rear entertainment system with a 16.2” ultra-wide split-screen display and auxiliary HDMI video input.  The “intelligent” i-MID (Multi-Information Display) has customizable wallpaper and integration of FM traffic data among many other features. 
All 2011 Odysseys are built with the Advanced Compatibility Engineering body structure, an exclusive body design that enhances passenger safety and crash compatibility in frontal crashes through a set-up of structural connections that reduce the force directed toward the passenger cabin.  The minivan comes standard with Vehicle Stability Assist, traction control, Anti-Lock Braking System, front driver’s side airbag, three-row side curtain airbags with rollover sensor, dual-stage, multiple-threshold front airbags and finally, a front passenger’s side airbag with an occupant detection system.
A truly safe Five Star American vehicle, the 2011 Honda Odyssey is designed, engineered and assembled in the United States.  To learn more about the 2011 Honda Odyssey or any other Honda cars, visit our Woodbridge VA, showroom.  Our well-trained and efficient staff will help you navigate through our inventory of new and used Honda cars.  Take some time and check out some of our great online special offers on new and used cars.

Honda CR-V – An Award Winning Family Vehicle!!


Practical and safe are just some of the things that come to mind when thinking about transporting your most precious cargo – your family! And with today’s active and busy on-the-go lifestyles, having affordable, safe and reliable transportation is an absolute must.   Today’s families are, needless to say, fast-paced, and between the parent’s work schedule and the kid’s school and extra-curricular schedules, families need a vehicle as flexible as they are.

The Honda CR-V is the perfect Sport Utility Vehicle for the modern family. For decades, Honda has been engineering award winning vehicles that meet the needs of people everywhere.  Meeting and beating challenges that range from a wide variety of issues such as safety, technological, environmental, affordability, comfort, performance, resale value, and then some.

Best Cars says that while, “The 2011 CR-V has not yet been crash tested, the highly-similar 2010 CR-V receives top score of five-stars in all federal government front and side crash tests, as well as a four-star rollover score. In crash tests conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the 2010 CR-V earns a top score of “Good” in front offset and side impact tests.”
Reviewer’s are applauding its list of safety features -- which includes everything expected in a family SUV: dual-stage front airbags, front side airbags, front and rear side curtain airbags, anti-lock brakes, Anti-lock Brakes, Vehicle Stability Assist with Traction Control and Brake Assist.”
Kelley Blue Book honored the 2011 CR-V with its Best Resale Value Award in both the Compact Utility Vehicle and Top 10 categories and also states, "Visibility is good in all directions, even to the rear."
Cars.com says, “What I love about the CR-V's safety features is that everything is standard. From the entry-level base model to the top of the line EX-L, all of the safety stuff is included because, really, saving lives shouldn't be optional."
Additionally, the Honda CR-V has earned props form Edmunds.com and Motor Trend and the CR-V earned an Ultra-Low-Emission Vehicle (ULEV-2) rating by the California Air Resources Board, which makes sense since Honda is  “recognized as the country’s Greenest Automaker by the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS)―for the fifth time in a row.”
