'''Advanced Compatibility Engineering''' (commonly called '''ACE Body Structure''') is the [[marketing]] name given to an [[automobile]] body [[structure]] design from [[Honda Motor Company|Honda]]. It claims to distribute [[collision]] energy evenly and redirect it away from the [[passenger|passenger compartment]], while at the same time, minimizing damage to other impacted [[vehicle]]s. This is accomplished by using numerous grades of [[Steel grade|steel]] (typically four) which crumple in key areas and remain rigid in others. It is standard on all Honda and Acura models as of 2012, except for the [[Honda Ridgeline|Ridgeline]]2016.
