Honda Accord Receives 10Best Award from Car & Driver for 35th Time

The first Honda Accord arrived in the United States in 1977 and has been a favorite among drivers ever since.

Over the years the sedan has received a variety of awards, including NHTSA 5-Star Safety and Best Buy: Midsize Car.

But one award stands out from them all — Car and Driver’s 10Best Cars. Thanks to the 2021 model year, the Honda sedan has now received the award an astounding 35 times.

What Is the 10Best Award?

As one of the top car enthusiast magazines in the world, Car and Driver knows quite a bit about cars.

Car and Driver prides itself on making it easy for everyday people to choose the vehicle that best fits them, and part of that process is a list such as the 10Best Award.

With a price cap of $90,000, the team at Car and Driver evaluated 57 different vehicles focusing on their value, driving enjoyment, and usefulness.

They then pick 10 vehicles that are considered a great buy for the 2021 year, all for their own unique reasons.

Record-Setting Honors for the Honda Accord

After receiving a refresh for the 2021 model year that includes an improved hybrid powertrain, updated technology, and more updates, the win is a coveted honor for the Accord.

The number of times the sedan has made the 10Best list has gone unmatched by any of the competition, in fact this marks its 23rd consecutive win.

“This is the car we find ourselves recommending over and over to friends and family members who want a practical, fun-to-drive car,” said Sharon Silke Carty, editor-in-chief of Car and Driver. “It’s refined, dynamic, and affordable. What more can you ask for? Congrats to Honda for its impressive winning streak.”

The Accord has proved its lasting presence and impact on consumers as it has been one of the best-selling cars in America for 44 years.

Winning this award for the 35th time continues to prove that Honda upholds its reputation for innovation, world-class features, efficiency, and craftsmanship.

What to Expect from the 2021 Honda Accord

The Accord continues to set the bar for what’s to be expected of sedans.

Consumers are given the opportunity to choose between two turbocharged engine options or a fuel-sipping hybrid model.

No matter which engine option is picked, the handling is effortlessly balanced and creates an exciting drive — even during the longest journey.

The 2021 model features an updated front-end styling, Honda Sensing® technology with improved Lane Keeping Assist, Apple CarPlay®, and Android Auto™ integration, and a new Sport SE trim.

Drivers can also find 19-inch wheels on the Touring trim level.

The interior provides enough room to seat five adults, or multiple car seats in the back row for growing families.

And if either of the rear doors were opened prior to the journey, the new rear-seat reminder alerts the driver to check the back seat when exiting the vehicle.

The generously sized four-door offers the refinement and luxury many drivers have come to expect while purchasing a new vehicle.
