Toyota and Honda are often considered leaders with regard to new safety technologies. But which active safety feature system is superior: Honda Sensing® or Toyota Safety Sense? Join Underriner Honda of Walla Walla as we take a closer look at the two safety suites side-by-side, so you can hit U.S. Highway 12 in a safe car.
What Honda Sensing® Offers, Toyota Safety Sense Doesn’t
Tri-Cities drivers may be surprised to know that there are a few features in the Honda Sensing® suite that aren’t available with Toyota Safety Sense. Here are a few, along with an explanation of how they work:
- Blind Spot Information System – Say you’re driving down Route 125, and your turning signal is on. If there’s another car in the corresponding lane, then this feature emits a helpful warning sound.
- Lane Keeping Assist System – This feature will ensure that your Honda is in the center of the lane – even on busy Dayton streets.
- Cross Traffic Monitor – If you’re backing out of a crowded Tri-Cities parking lot, this feature will warn you if another vehicle is approaching.
- Honda LaneWatch™ – This feature displays live video from the right side of your vehicle on your Honda’s touchscreen any time you use your right turn signal.
