Honda Automobiles: 2018 Accord Named Overall Best Buy of 2018 as Honda Models Win 7 of 13 Kelley Blue Book Awards

The all-new 2018 Honda Accord was named the Overall Best Buy of 2018 by Kelley Blue Book as Honda vehicles took top honors in 7 of thirteen ‘Best Buy’ award categories. The all-new Accord bested every other new vehicle in the market because, according to the expert team of editors and evaluators at KBB.com, “it outclasses the competition in almost every meaningful measure. It also sells for far less than the average new car while providing more features, better fuel economy and a more proven reputation for quality and reliability.”
Honda led the industry with seven 2018 Best Buy winners including:

  • Overall Best Buy: 2018 Honda Accord
  • Small Car: 2018 Honda Civic
  • Mid-Size Car: 2018 Honda Accord
  • Electric/Hybrid Car: 2018 Honda Clarity Plug-In Hybrid
  • Small SUV/Crossover: 2018 Honda CR-V
  • Midsize SUV/Crossover: 2018 Honda Pilot
  • Minivan: 2018 Honda Odyssey

“We’re exceptionally proud to have dominated this year’s Kelley Blue Book awards, which really reinforces our unique focus on individual car buyers and on delivering the best overall value and lowest long-term ownership cost for the customer,” said Jeff Conrad, senior vice president of the Automobile Division of American Honda. “Shoppers who want to make a smart buying decision are well served by KBB.com’s unique approach to evaluating new vehicles, which is informed by both their extensive market data and their deep product expertise.”
