Honda

Also known for its motorcycles and other products, Honda Motor Co. is an import success story — a small company headquartered in Tokyo that has had best-selling models in many U.S. vehicle classes. However, certain models from Honda and its Acura luxury division have come under recent fire for hard-to-use multimedia systems.

Despite these slips, Honda's well-earned reputation still shows in popular, well-rounded models like the CR-V compact SUV and Civic compact car. The mid-size Honda Accord sedan remains a steady seller, while the Insight and Clarity join hybrid versions of the Accord and CR-V to round out Honda’s electrified vehicles.

The brand’s larger vehicles include two related mid-size SUVs: the three-row Pilot and two-row Passport. The Odyssey minivan remains a strong competitor in a shrinking class, and the innovative Ridgeline pickup truck competes in a reinvigorated mid-size field.
