Honda has won the 2025 “Best Car Brand” award for the fourth consecutive year from U.S. News & World Report, receiving high scores for the award’s key attributes of performance, interior quality, safety and reliability for its passenger car models, including Civic, Civic hybrid, Civic Type R, Civic Si, Accord and Accord hybrid.

An unparalleled success, the award-winning 11th-generation Civic is a gateway to the Honda brand and America's most popular vehicle with Gen Z, first-time buyers and multicultural customers1. Honda Civic is America's best-selling compact car since 19732. A critical driver of brand loyalty for the Honda brand, the award-winning 11th-generation Accord is America's most popular midsize vehicle with Millennial, Gen Z, first-time buyers and multicultural customers.

Hybrid-electric variants for both models, the new Civic hybrid and Accord hybrid, play a key role in the Honda electrification strategy. Hybrid-electric trims powered by the award-winning fourth-generation of the Honda two-motor hybrid-electric powertrain now represent more than 50% of Accord sales, and the new 2025 Civic hybrid models are expected to ultimately represent about 40% of Civic sales. This year over 25% of total Honda brand sales are hybrid-electric vehicles.

After evaluating 38 brands, U.S. News’ prestigious Best Vehicle Brands Awards recognize industry-wide excellence across four key segments of the automotive market: cars, SUVs, trucks and luxury vehicles, honoring automakers with the most desirable key brand attributes that excite and attract car buyers. The winners have the best combination of performance, interior quality, safety and reliability in their categories.
