TheCivic comes equipped with G-CON Technology

Trust the Honda safety standards to let your exhilaration stay uninterrupted. The Civic comes equipped with G-CON Technology, an advanced passive shielding that offers the occupant a survival zone in case of an unavoidable collision.
In 1998, Honda first announced that it will be pursuing a new vehicle collision safety technology called G-Con, short for "G-Force Control." The standards incorporated into G-CON are constantly updated to benchmark against many of the world's toughest crash safety regulations as well as against data collected from real-world accidents. G-CON’s purpose is to control the impact energy (‘G-Force’) of a collision and reduce injuries to the vehicle occupants. Since then, all Honda vehicles developed from a new platform is designed with G-CON technology for optimum passive safety performance.As of to date, the G-CON test includes:
a) 55km/h full frontal collision
b) 64km/h frontal offset collision
c) 55km/h side collision
d) 50km/h rear collision

Honda's G-CON technology has come a long way since its inception in 1998. In the early days of G-CON, most crash tests are done in a controlled laboratory environment, against static objects and thus many variables that affect a vehicle's real-world crash performance are not evaluated. One of the main problems with real world collisions is the huge disparity between weight, dimensions and body types of different vehicles on the road. When vehicles of different weight and size collide, the vehicle's passive safety features may not work as intended. Differences in vehicle designs may cause the colliding vehicles to either under-ride or over-ride, limiting the vehicle's frames to properly absorb / disperse impact energy. This is particularly serious in a collision between a small hatchback and a large sedan / SUV. Even on a collision between two exactly same vehicle models, the differences in their ride height due to the number of occupants on board / vehicle's actual weight is sufficient to cause the two vehicle's crash members to be out of alignment with each other, causing under-riding / over-riding.
