G-Force Safety Control Technology


G-Force Safety Control TechnologyThe Insight body is reinforced in key areas with an extruded-aluminum frame that helps protect its passengers from different kinds of impacts.

Upper lower-frame members project forward and to the rear of the central passenger compartment and absorb impact energy by progressively collapsing
Lower side sills, crossmembers, A-pillars and windshield frames surround the passenger compartment, forming a rigid structure that resists deformation

At the heart of this design is a newly developed Honda technology called G-Force Control Technology, or G-CON. G-CON optimizes each part of the Insight's aluminum body and frame to best absorb a specific type of impact. The cabin floor, for example, forms a strong and rigid foundation, designed to minimize deformation in an impact. Outside of this area, the surrounding aluminum frame members have been tailored to control impact forces.
