Honda’s curious-looking Next-Generation Front Passenger Airbag earns the title of Best Safety Innovation. Currently available in the MDX crossover and TLX sport sedans from Honda’s Acura luxury division, this innovative new airbag design was created in response to data showing that over half of all frontal collisions result in an angular impact. A new airbag design was created to offer better protection in these types of crashes.
