The all-new 2018 Honda Accord, the 10th generation of America's
most popular car, has earned the prestigious 2018 North American
Car of the Year award. Accord's win marks the third consecutive
year that a Honda model has received top honors from the North
American jury of automotive journalists, with the Honda Civic and
Honda Ridgeline winning the car and truck awards in 2016 and 2017,
respectively.
"Honda took a clean-sheet approach to reinventing America's most
popular car, and we couldn't be prouder to receive this honor for
Accord as the North American Car of the Year," said Henio
Arcangeli, Jr., senior vice president of the Automobile Division
and general manager of Honda Sales, American Honda Motor Co., Inc.
"We're especially proud for the production associates in Ohio where
Accord has been built to the highest quality standards for over 35
years.(1)"
The North American Car, Utility and Truck of the Year awards honor
excellence in innovation, design, safety features, performance,
technology, driver satisfaction and value. Initiated in 1994, they
are judged by 60 professional automotive journalists from the
United States and Canada who work for independent magazines,
television, radio, newspapers and industry websites.
Completely redesigned from the ground-up, the all-new Accord
features a lighter and more rigid body structure, an advanced new
chassis design wrapped in a more sophisticated, sleek and athletic
design with top class interior space and comfort. The drivetrain
options include two all-new, high-torque VTEC Turbo engines, the
world's first 10-speed automatic transmission for a front-drive car
and a new generation of Honda's two-motor hybrid technology. The
Accord also includes a host of new safety, driver-assistive and
connected-car technologies.
