After the initial launch of the 2018 Accord by Honda Canada, it has blown up over social media. The Accord has already taken home awards, and is right near the top of the list for the Kelly Blue Book Award for highest consumer rated 2018 Sedans. There wouldn’t be all this hype for no good reason, the new Accord comes in a 1.5T or 2.0T Engine with a Hybrid variant option, so it can fit all your needs. The 1.5-liter comes with 192hp and the 2.0-liter goes all the way up to 252hp. If you really need the speed, you should know that the Turbo option on the new Accord is closely related to the 306hp Civic Type-R! What if 196 is not enough, but 252 is too much? Honda even has a solution for that. The 2018 Honda Accord Hybrid comes with a 2.0-liter gas engine and 2 electric motors with a lithium-ion battery to field 212hp.

Lets talk about physical appearance. As you can see from the comparison above, the 2018 Accord was completely redesigned and it seems as Honda has swayed away from the previous Accord style we all know. As for the insides, the new Accord got a complete makeover:

2018 Honda Odyssey Blog:

The all-new 2018 Honda Odyssey is here! It is the 5th generation of its model, originating in the 90’s. The base model (LX/EX) comes fully loaded with a 280 HP V6 engine, a massive interior with 3 rows of seating, and top of the line new 2018 technology. If you are interested in a minivan then you probably have a family or a group of people that need transportation frequently, and the 2018 Honda Odyssey is just the minivan for that. This new model maintains that safe comfortable reputation that Honda minivans have had for years. The Odyssey really is a people’s car. Compared to its close competitors; the Dodge Grand Caravan, or the Toyota Sienna, the Odyssey always comes out on top. Its competitors are commonly sold to commercial companies for utility purposes, whereas the Odyssey has always swayed away from that remaining to be that “peoples car”.

The all-new 2017 Honda Civic SI brings the power that the North American “small car” market has been missing for years. This 1.5-liter, 4 cylinder, 205 HP engine machine is the older brother to the Civics’ current sport model: the Type-R. The SI comes in 3 different trims currently; the Touring Sport, the SI coupe, and the SI sedan. The touring option is new across all civics not just the SI, but the new touring sport option allows for crazy fast capabilities. Honda also decided to redesign the Civic with the SI model, adding gun metal rims, a spoiler, and many other eye catching sport related features.

Trailer and Towing Safety!

Posted on by

Whether it’s towing your boat to the cottage or beach, heading on a camping adventure or just everyday fun, your vehicle plays an important role in summer activities!  When partaking in such, it is not uncommon to use a trailer for towing.  However, as many of us can surely attest, people often tow things in an unsafe manner.  The picture below is a clear example of what NOT to do!

After witnessing the above, we felt it important to share some tips on towing and trailering to keep you and others safe on the road.  First and foremost, it is important that you know your vehicle’s towing capacity.  Exceeding this capacity can not only cause damage to your vehicle, but can seriously endanger others on the road.  Each vehicle has a different capacity, so keep in mind that what you are able to tow with one of your vehicles may not be the same on another.  If you are unsure, such information is provided in your owner’s manual.

If your current vehicle is not equipped with towing capabilities, be aware that most GM and Honda trucks, SUV’s and crossovers have the option for a factory-installed trailering package.  If you are interested in more information on such products or installation, please contact our one of our three dealerships: Queenston Chevrolet, Queenston on the Mountain or Image Honda.

Towing Safety Tips:

  • Ensure that your vehicle can withstand your trailers capacity.
  • Make sure you have thoroughly inspected your trailer tires, brakes and hitch and ensure they are in working order before hitting the road.
  • DON’T overload your trailer and always make sure that the weight is balanced out.
  • If you have loose items, make sure that they are securely fastened or covered to prevent them from moving.  Accessories such as cargo nets and other products are available for purchase from our parts departments.
  • Keep a safe distance when travelling behind other vehicles.  The additional weight of the trailer will make it harder to stop.
  • Always adjust your mirrors so you can see the traffic behind you.

Please keep these safety tips in mind for your benefit and others on the road.  If you have any questions concerning your vehicles towing capacity or are interested in installing a trailering package on your vehicle, please contact us at any of our three locations and we will be happy to assist you!

We recently wrote a blog regarding the re-designed 2016 Honda Pilot, which made its Canadian debut at the Canadian International Auto Show last week. Expanding on that blog, we wanted to review some of the new and exciting features made available to you, the consumer. As you are about to hear, the new Pilot redefines our expectations when it comes to SUVs, by delivering style, flexibility and more family-friendly utility.

Safety

Safety is a top priority for the re-designed Pilot. Blind-spot monitoring, Forward Collision Warning, Lane-Keep Assistance and Adaptive Cruise Control are all available options on higher-trim versions.

Sunroof

The new Pilot steps it up a notch with its second row panoramic sunroof. This stylish addition complements the traditional sunroof that still remains located above the front seat passengers.

Flip & Fold Seats

Designed for versatility and function – the new flip and fold seats make it easier on passengers when getting into the third-row seating. These flip/fold seats also offer a 2nd row captain’s chair and heated seats.

Heated and Ventilated Seats

Additional quality features include: standard heated and available ventilated front seats,
available heated steering wheel, and available heated second-row seats. (Honda Canada, 2015)

Push Button Shifter

The new push button shifter allows for more space on the centre console and is the only Honda model to offer this.

Engine Stop-Start

The new Pilot features a start-stop 3.5 litre V-6 engine.

New Centre Console

As part of the new interior re-designs, the centre console is able to hold items as large as a full-size iPad or large purse.

The 2016 Honda Pilot is expected to launch at Image Honda this summer, which is only a few months away and we couldn’t be more excited! Contact us at Image Honda today if you have any questions regarding this new, must-have Honda Pilot.

“One important way we can build an environmentally sustainable society is by making transportation choices that have a lower impact on the planet, and that includes greener cars.”  This powerful statement was made by David Miller, President and CEO of WWF-Canada, who presented the second annual 2014 Canadian Green Car Award to Honda Canada in the Hybrid Category this year!

Green Car Award 2014

The Canadian Green Car Award acknowledges vehicles that are commonly available in Canada that possess strong environmental qualities, combined with style and appeal.  This, along with objective criteria such as fuel economy, emissions and price, has an impact on who is the winner.  The award is voted on by a panel of 19 reputable automotive journalists from around the country who participate in extensive testing and assessments. This award was one of 5 other category winners and was presented during the three-day Green Living Show.
