Advanced Compatibility Engineering or ACE Body Structure is the marketing name given to an automobile body structure design by Honda. It claims to distribute collision energy evenly and redirect it away from the passenger compartment, while at the same time, minimising damage to other impacted vehicles. This is accomplished by using numerous grades of steel (typically four) which crumple in key areas and remain rigid in others.{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=En7xJ6jDi0w |title=Honda Advanced Compatibility Engineering ACE.avi |author=HondaTiongNam |via=YouTube |date=1 June 2011 |access-date=21 August 2016}} It is standard on all Honda and Acura models as of the 2017 model year.{{cn|date=December 2023}}
