Common questions

What is the NHTSA safety rating of the 2011 Honda Civic?

NHTSA rated this vehicle 3 out of 5 stars overall (2 tested configurations).

Has the 2011 Honda Civic been crash tested?

Yes. NHTSA's New Car Assessment Program tested 2 configurations of the 2011 Civic.

What does 'Not Rated' mean?

NHTSA prints 'Not Rated' when a specific test was not run on a specific configuration. It is not a zero-star result and we never display it as one.

Why are several configurations listed?

NHTSA tests structurally different versions separately — a two-door and a four-door, or a car with and without side airbags, can earn different stars. Averaging them would invent a rating NHTSA never issued, so each is listed on its own.

Sourcing

Star ratings, equipment declarations, rollover probabilities and crash test media are retrieved from the NHTSA New Car Assessment Program API (api.nhtsa.gov/SafetyRatings) on 2026-10-27. Photographs and videos are linked at their official NHTSA addresses rather than copied. Where NHTSA publishes "Not Rated", we reproduce that string verbatim.
