Honda Sweeps Car and Driver 10Best 2025 with Three Category Wins

Honda has achieved an extraordinary milestone in automotive excellence, securing three positions in Car and Driver's prestigious 10Best awards for 2025. This remarkable achievement extends Honda's legacy as the most decorated manufacturer in the award's history, with an unprecedented 95 total victories since the program's inception in 1983.

The 2025 awards showcase Honda's comprehensive strengths across its core model range, with the Civic, Accord, and CR-V each earning top honours. This recognition underscores the brand's successful approach to vehicle development, particularly in advancing hybrid technology while maintaining the dynamic driving characteristics that have long distinguished Honda vehicles.

Accord's Historic Achievement

The Honda Accord's presence on the 10Best list represents an unmatched accomplishment in automotive history. With its 39th award and 27th consecutive win, the Accord continues to define excellence in the midsize sedan category. The current generation has proven particularly successful in the Canadian market, where the hybrid variant accounts for more than half of all Accord sales, demonstrating the model's successful evolution toward electrification without compromising its renowned driving dynamics.

Civic's Comprehensive Excellence

The entire Civic lineup, encompassing the Sedan, Hatchback, Si, and Type R variants, has secured its position on the 10Best list for the third consecutive year. Car and Driver's editors particularly praised the new hybrid variant, noting its ability to maintain the Civic's characteristic handling while delivering superior fuel efficiency. This recognition validates Honda's strategic decision to expand its hybrid offerings, with the Civic hybrid projected to represent 60 percent of the model's future sales mix.

CR-V's Continued Dominance

The Honda CR-V's third consecutive 10Best Trucks and SUVs award reinforces its status as a segment leader in the competitive compact SUV category. The success of the CR-V Hybrid, which now accounts for over half of the model's Canadian sales, demonstrates how effectively Honda has integrated its advanced two-motor hybrid system into a versatile family vehicle that excels in both urban and highway driving conditions.
