Honda’s ability to deliver high value to its customers helped lift sales by 24 percent last year alone, and now it’s also helped two of the automaker’s top products earn Best Value Awards from the money experts at Kiplinger’s Personal Finance. The Kiplinger’s crew analyzed vehicles based on factors including performance, price and safety, then named the Honda Accord to the Best New Models list and selected the Honda CR-V—a Best New Model when the current version was introduced in 2012—as a Best in Class choice.
“With the 2013 redesign, Accord keeps its essential ingredients—a solid driver-to-road connection, comfy interior and high resale values—and spices things up with new technology and a more modern exterior,” said Jessica Anderson, associate editor, Kiplinger’s Personal Finance. “Additionally, in an increasingly crowded segment, CR-V is the ideal others aspire to.”
Now in its ninth generation, the Accord was singled out for “a new look that’s been compared with the BMW 3-Series,” as well as its increased rear legroom and cargo space, combined with standard features like Pandora Internet radio, a rearview camera system and SMS text-messaging functionality.
The CR-V—also the best-selling crossover in America last year—was acclaimed for its similarly strong lineup of standard features as well as a versatile cabin in which an easy-to-use lever folds down the rear seats to enable more than 70 cubic feet of cargo room.
“The Accord and CR-V remain segment standouts for their efficiency, packaging, performance and value,” said Michael Accavitti, vice president of marketing operations, American Honda Motor Co., Inc. “The strength of the Honda lineup is clearly resonating in the marketplace and we are proud to be recognized for offering true value to customers.”
