Why Kelley Blue Book Awards Matter
The Kelley Blue Book Consumer Choice Awards are based on real-world data from over 12,000 in-market car shoppers annually. These awards aren’t just coming from critics; they reflect what actual buyers think about the vehicles they’re considering.
Through Kelley Blue Book’s Brand Watch Study, shoppers evaluate key factors like:
- Reliability and durability
- Safety and fuel efficiency
- Interior comfort and layout
- Performance and styling
- Overall value
When a brand like Honda consistently ranks at the top across all these categories, it’s a clear sign that it delivers on what matters most.
A Lineup That Delivers for Every Driver
One of the reasons Honda continues to win year after year is its versatile and award-winning lineup. Whether you’re commuting, road-tripping, or hauling the family around town, there’s a Honda built for you.
Popular models include:
- Honda Civic – A compact car known for efficiency, reliability, and sporty performance
- Honda Accord – A midsize sedan offering comfort, technology, and strong fuel economy
- Honda CR-V – One of America’s favorite SUVs, blending practicality with modern features
- Honda Pilot – A spacious SUV perfect for families and adventures

For eco-conscious drivers, Honda’s electrified lineup is stronger than ever. Hybrid versions of the Accord, CR-V, and Civic, along with the all-electric Prologue provide excellent fuel economy without sacrificing performance.
Built on Trust, Backed by Experience
Winning “Most Trusted Brand” isn’t easy, but Honda has built its reputation over decades. Known for long-lasting vehicles, low maintenance costs, and strong resale value, Honda continues to be a smart investment for drivers.
In fact, nearly 99% of Honda vehicles sold in the U.S. are made in North America, with a significant portion built right here in the United States. That commitment to quality manufacturing helps ensure every vehicle meets high standards.
