          Honda decided to revamp their infamous Honda Civic for the 2017 model, including a new gun metal option for rims, as well as, the hatchback body style. Honda continues to improve its top notch quality, affordable pricing, and great value. At the Kelley Blue Book Best Buy Awards, Honda took home four awards for its three successful sedans: the civic, accord, and pilot. Each of these vehicles remain at the top of their classes creating a safe, comfortable, affordable means of transportation.

The 2017 Honda Accord was kept plain and simple compared to its 2016 model. Visually it looks almost identical, and specifications wise, it is quite similar as well. However, if the specs are the same and the visuals are the same, what’s new? Well with the new Accord, Honda released a new Sport Special Edition which consumers are raving about. This new Sport Edition gives consumers an option for a fast, high quality, inexpensive, sports car. With 189Hp and 2.4L engine, the accord SE (Sport Edition) can generate some power comparing to its base model counterpart.

Lastly, the Pilot: Honda went a similar route with the pilot as they did for the Accord, plain and simple. Like the Accord, visually, the new 2017 Pilot looks very similar if not identical to the 2016 model. However, on the inside there is a multitude of changes; a variety of new interior colours to choose from, new multi-touch display system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality, and much more. The Pilot is just another example of a safe, comfortable, and affordable car that consumers can rely on.

What an honour! The all-new 2016 Honda Civic was awarded the prestigious 2016 North American Car of the Year Award. This win is the second for the Civic model in the award’s history, following a win for the 2006 Civic a decade ago.

“The 10th generation Civic was developed and is built in North America, making this North American Car of the Year win even sweeter,” said Dave Gardner, Senior Vice President of Operations, Honda Canada Inc. “Being built at our facility in Alliston Ontario and the number one car for Canadians for 18 consecutive years has cemented Civic’s importance in Canada. We are delighted that automotive press has recognized the new levels of styling, performance, advanced technology, safety, and value that characterize the new Civic.”

Who is behind the North American Car of the Year Award?  It’s given by a group of 53 international automotive journalists and is very unique. Instead of being given by a single publication, radio or television station, it is given by automotive journalists from the United States and Canada. Presented each year at the opening of the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, it recognizes the most outstanding car of the year based on factors including innovation, design, safety performance, handling, driver satisfaction and value.

Truly all-new, the 2016 Civic features dynamic and sporty exterior styling and a roomier, more sophisticated cabin. There are two advanced new engines including the first application of Honda turbo engine technology to Civic, as well as a host of new available premium features and technologies.

At the 2015 New York International Auto Show, Honda unveiled the 10th-generation Honda Civic Concept. Launching this fall, the new Civic lineup will include the Civic Sedan, Coupe and Si models along with the return of the Civic hatchback, followed by the launch of a new Civic Type-R as the performance flagship of the Civic lineup. The new Civic also will be the first North American model to apply new VTEC® Turbo engines from the company’s Earth Dreams Technology™ powertrain series.

2016 CIVIC“The new Civic will be, flat out, the most dynamic, the most technologically advanced and the most refined and stylish Civic we’ve ever made,” said Dave Gardner, senior vice president of operations, Honda Canada Inc. “We couldn’t be prouder to be the global manufacturing lead for this epic vehicle, and they’ll be built by Canadians right in here in our renowned Alliston, Ontario facility.”

Featuring a longer wheelbase and lower, wider stance, the new Civic emphasizes its aggressive personality and engaging experience behind the wheel. Its sporty and expressive face is highlighted by bright new LED headlights flanking the “Flying H” Honda grille which is supported by deeply sculpted lower air intakes.

The 10th-generation Civic is based on a compact platform that targets benchmark levels of efficiency, dynamic performance, safety and production efficiency. Leveraging this new platform in conjunction with new Earth Dreams Technology™ powertrains – including a new 1.5-liter VTEC® Turbo engine with direct injection, a short-shifting 6-speed manual transmission, and a new, more sporty and efficient continuously variable transmission (CVT) – the Civic will target class-leading fuel economy ratings and fun-to-drive performance with near-luxury levels of cabin quietness and ride refinement.

The new Civic will also focus on safety performance and will offer the Honda Sensing™ suite of advanced safety and driver-assistive technologies, including Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Warning, Multi-Angle Rear-view Camera, Adaptive Cruise Control and Honda LaneWatch™, along with Honda’s next-generation Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure.

As the best selling passenger vehicle in Canada for 17 years, the redesigned Civic is sure to be a hit and we can’t wait for its debut at Image Honda this fall. For more information about our outstanding Honda vehicle lineup, visit us at www.imagehonda.com or call us at (905) 561-4100.

The 2013 Honda Civic – First small car to achieve IIHS Top Safety Pick rating

The all-new 2013 Honda Civic Sedan and Civic Coupe have become the first small cars to achieve Top Safety Pick+ ratings in the U.S IIHS (Institute for Highway Safety) safety testing. This makes the Civic Sedan and Coupe the first and only IIHS Top Safety Picks in the small car segment.  In addition, for the 2013 model year, all Honda models tested by the IIHS have received a top safety pick+ or top safety pick rating.

“If you are looking for a compact car with a TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating, the 2013 Honda Civic is the

only choice,” said Dave Jamieson, assistant vice president of sales and marketing at Honda Canada Inc. “We believe this is a distinct competitive advantage, especially as more and more consumers place a premium on crash rating performance.”

The 2013 Civic sedan comes equipped with the Honda Advanced Compatibility body structure (ACE II). It is not only the first small car to earn top safety pick+ in the industry, but the first and only to earn the highest possible rating of GOOD on the IIHS small overlap frontal crash test. The test is designed to simulate what happens when the front corner of a vehicle collides with another vehicle or an object at high speed. 2013 Honda Civic

Honda is now the leader in the industry with four Top Safety Pick rated vehicles – the Civic sedan and coupe and the Accord sedan and coupe.
