If you are shopping for your next family car, then you should definitely take notice of the 2016 Honda lineup. Honda has always been a great brand for safety and for value, but this year Kelley Blue Book has recognized Honda for having a “Best Family Car for 2016” in 6 different categories. Honda is the only automaker to claim awards in each category.
How KBB Selects the Winners
The review panel at Kelley Blue Book narrowed the search down to two dozen vehicles in each category. KBB didn’t just review the statistics for each of the contenders, judges actually spent 2 weeks driving each vehicle with their family. They used them in real life situations, like putting car seats in, hauling groceries, and going to soccer games. It was only after this rigorous sampling that KBB was able to select the “16 Best Family Cars For 2016”.
2016 Honda Civic and Accord Make the List for Best Family Sedan
The 2016 Honda Civic is not new to winning KBB awards. This car was also named as the “Overall Best Buy of 2016”. So it is no surprise that the 2016 is the most affordable sedan on the list of 2016 Best Family Cars for 2016. The Civic is not the only Honda Sedan to make this list though, it is sharing the spotlight with the 2016 Honda Accord. This Mid-sized sedan is also no stranger to the KBB lists, as it ends up on just about every list that it is qualified to be considered for. These Sedans were selected because they are safe, affordable, comfortable and absolutely family friendly.
2016 Honda CR-V and HR-V Cruise in on the List for 2 Row SUV’s
While the Honda CR-V has been a fan favorite for years, the Honda HR-V rolled out of the factory with its 2016 model and immediately started turning heads. The CR-V is the best selling SUV in America, but the HR-V has made a great name for itself in a very short time in the subcompact SUV market. Both of these SUV’s will keep your family safe, are affordable, and are very fuel efficient. They are both also very versatile when it comes to using the cargo space. If you are looking for a 2 row SUV for your family, you should test drive both the CR-V and HR-V, surely one will be the perfect fit!
The 2016 Honda Pilot Steals the Spotlight for 3 Row SUV’s
It is possible that your family needs more than 2 rows, if that is the case the 2016 Honda Pilot is the SUV to consider. The Honda Pilot has the most accessible third row of seats when you compare it to other 3 row SUV’s, and when you have a big family trying to climb in and out of the car everyday, this is a big selling feature. It is probably no surprise that the Pilot received great marks for safety, because Honda really has safety in mind when they are engineering their vehicles.
2016 Honda Odyssey Continues to Win for Family Friendly Minivan
The 2016 Honda Odyssey is a KBB family favorite year after year. The Odyssey offers one of the most affordable, safe, and comfortable minivans on the market. The Odyssey offers extreme flexibility and tons of kid friendly options. You can even get an Odyssey with a built in vacuum cleaner. Honda really had daily family life in mind when they engineered the Odyssey!
