Best Cars for Families, per U.S. News & World Report

Looks like Honda just can’t help winning. The 2026 Accord, Accord Hybrid, Passport, and Ridgeline have all been named Best Cars for Families by U.S. News & World Report.

The editors weren’t shy about it—these rides are officially top of their class, and yes, they give a wholehearted nod to buyers.

The turbocharged Accord flexed its muscle, claiming Midsize Car of the Year for the fifth time, while the Accord Hybrid takes home its third win in the Midsize Hybrid category.

Over in the SUV corner, the rugged Passport keeps its streak alive with a fifth two-row midsize SUV award, and the Ridgeline makes history as the first-ever winner in the Midsize Pickup Truck class.

With a whopping 43 total Best Cars for Families trophies, Honda isn’t just participating—it’s dominating the family-friendly vehicle game. And let’s be real: there’s been at least one Honda on the list every year since 2011.

That’s the kind of consistency you can drive home!

You’re picking from vehicles that have been vetted by trusted people who have driven practically everything under the sun.

All this to say, come check out our award-winning Honda lineup now!

ECCCO Car Club coming Spring 2026

If your car means more to you than ‘just a place to sit’ then this is for you!

ECCCO is a brand-new Members-Only car storage experience built for people who actually care about what they drive. It’s not just some dusty warehouse or lockup.

Think secure, climate-controlled vehicle storage paired with concierge level care and a private community designed by car guys for car guys.

Backed by the Holler-Classic Family of Dealerships, ECCCO promises to deliver a level of security and attention that treats your vehicle like the investment it truly is.

👉 Coming soon in Spring 2026.

Safety isn’t Optional. Honda knows that

Some brands treat safety like a feature. Honda treats it like the baseline…like seatbelts and turning signals (you know, the stuff people should use).

For 2026, four models earned top marks from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety—and not the easy kind.

• Honda HR-V — TOP SAFETY PICK+

• Honda Passport — TOP SAFETY PICK+

• Honda Civic Hatchback — TOP SAFETY PICK

• Honda Accord — TOP SAFETY PICK

The 2026 Honda HR-V and Passport grabbed the highest possible rating, clearing tougher 2026 standards that now focus more on rear passengers, pedestrian safety, and updated crash prevention testing.

So yes, even your friend who insists on sitting directly behind you is covered too.

All four models earned top “GOOD” ratings in the big tests—small overlap, moderate overlap, and side-impact crashes (which now hit harder than ever). In other words, these vehicles are built for more than just smooth commutes and perfect parking jobs.

And here’s where it really matters: Civic, HR-V, and Accord aren’t priced like luxury vehicles. They’re some of Honda’s most accessible models.

So you’re not paying extra just to feel safe—you’re just…safe.
