The 2005 Honda Odyssey received the highest rating for its frontal crash test from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. It achieved a 'good' rating, meaning its front-end structure withstood the 40 mph crash into a deformable barrier while leaving the passenger compartment intact with minimal intrusion. The Odyssey's Advanced Compatibility Engineering body structure helped minimize potential misalignment of the safety structures during impacts between vehicles of different sizes. It also received five stars for front occupant protection from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The Odyssey comes equipped with several safety features like front and side airbags to help earn its top safety ratings.
