Safety kit is strong from the base model. AcuraWatch is standard with forward collision warning and mitigation braking, adaptive cruise with low-speed follow, lane keep assist and road departure mitigation. Blind spot info and rear cross traffic monitor join on Technology and up. The structure targets and earns top crash scores including NHTSA 5-star overall and IIHS Top Safety Pick+ with Superior front crash prevention.
Keeping the car means following the Minder prompts for oil life and inspections. Standard features like the power tailgate and dual-zone climate make daily use simple. Higher packs add adaptive dampers and more cameras for easier parking and a smoother ride over time.
