6 Hondas We're Excited for in 2021 | Auto Dealer Near Greece, NY

Published on Oct 28, 2025 by Brianna White

Whether you’re a long-time Honda fan or considering dipping your toe into the vast waters of Honda vehicles for the first time ever, there’s plenty to get excited about in the 2021 Honda lineup. As one of the largest and most popular auto companies in the world, Honda has grown and developed over the decades, and its vehicles include some of the most exciting and innovative models available anywhere. So if you’re thinking about looking to find a new Honda for sale sometime soon, then you’re in luck.

 

While there are plenty of great options to choose from in the Honda lineup, we at Ralph Honda thought we’d take a few minutes today to look at a handful of them in particular. Just remember that there’s plenty to know about these models, so you can always give us a call to find out more. And if you don’t see what you’re looking for here, then we can point you in another Honda direction, because Honda has something for everyone. So with all that being said, here are six of the Honda vehicles we are most excited about for 2021.

#1 The 2021 Honda Civic Type R

We are so excited about this one that we just had to talk about it first. Before you look at any other new Honda for sale – unless you know that you really need an SUV – you should check out the 2021 Civic Type R. This incredible, performance-focused hatchback provides a truly unique combination of style, functionality, and power. It’s a blast to drive and still gives you a practical interior that you can use in your day-to-day life.

 

The refreshed 2021 Honda Civic Type R has a bold front fascia with large grilles to help with plenty of air intake and cooling. This is perfect in keeping with the dynamic style and performance focus of the Type R and reminds you that you’re driving something special. The interior has been updated with a number of physical knobs and buttons that make controlling your entertainment system and other features easier and more precise. If you’re looking for something extraordinary and you want the perfect blend of style and speed, then you need to check the Civic Type R out.

#2 The 2021 Honda Accord

Since we’re already looking at cars, we might as well keep going with that and take a look at what the 2021 Honda Accord has to offer (don’t worry, we’ll get to SUVs soon). The midsize sedan market is incredibly competitive in this country, and yet the Honda Accord has been one of the best-selling models for a while now. This is in part due to its sleek design that looks good and never makes you second-guess your choice to go with a sedan rather than a coupe. It’s also due to the fact that the Accord is available with either a standard engine or a hybrid system, so you can get the power and fuel economy you want.

 

One of the great things about the 2021 Honda Accord is that it’s available at a remarkably wide range of price points, meaning there’s really something for everyone here. So whether you want to spring for all the bells and whistles or you need to stick to something a bit more modest when looking at new Hondas for sale, there is an Accord that’s right for you. There are two conventional engines available, including an impressive 2.0L Turbo option, as well as the Hybrid model, which combines this powerful engine with an electric motor and battery. Rumors going around indicate we might see a mid-generation refresh on the Accord for 2021, so that’s just one more reason to get excited about it.

#3 The 2021 Honda Clarity Plug-In Hybrid

The other sedan that we’re incredibly excited about is the amazing Honda Clarity, which is one of the most impressive models around for fuel economy. Although it is available as an all-electric model, the plug-in hybrid version is what you will typically find from your local dealership. And yet, even the Plug-In Hybrid model of the 2021 Honda Clarity is not something that you will see at just any showroom – if you visit us at Ralph Honda, we can help you with ordering this impressive sedan.

 

Although it’s not the only plug-in hybrid on the market, the Clarity is undoubtedly one of the best and a very attractive option when looking at new Hondas for sale. Its engine is quite powerful while still offering incredible fuel economy for you, making it surprisingly fun to drive.

#4 The 2021 Honda CR-V Hybrid

Speaking of hybrids, Honda also has hybrid SUVs, and this one is definitely one of our favorite models overall. While a standard version of the CR-V is available, the 2021 Honda CR-V Hybrid is the one that we’re most excited about. The CR-V has been a popular option for a long time, but this new hybrid model is just overall impressive.

 

While the standard model of the CR-V comes with a 1.5L Turbo engine standard, the hybrid features a 2.0L I-4 engine and an electric motor to deliver impressive performance. It’s incredibly fun to drive and takes advantage of all the sportiness that you would expect from a compact crossover SUV. Plus, it comes with a terrific array of safety features thanks to Honda Sensing being standard, including a collision mitigation braking system and a lane-keeping assist system.

#5 The 2021 Honda Pilot

If you want something a bit bigger than the CR-V, then you should check out the Honda Pilot when looking at new Hondas for sale. The 2021 Pilot might not have as many new features to it, compared to the CR-V Hybrid or Civic Type R, but it still does everything exactly how we want it to. It’s a midsize model with three rows of seats, so it’s a great option if you have a big family or large group of friends that you need to take with you.

 

You get an impressive 3.5L V6 engine in the 2021 Honda Pilot, with an available 9-speed automatic transmission that is incredibly responsive, making it a lot of fun to drive. We’ll admit that we were hoping for a new generation for the Pilot to come out this year, but all signs currently point to that happening in 2022. But if you can’t wait, then the 2021 Pilot is a great way to enjoy what has been an incredibly successful run for this impressive SUV.

#6 The 2021 Honda Ridgeline

Finally, there’s the 2021 Honda Ridgeline, which gives you a fantastic option if you’re looking for a pickup truck among new Hondas for sale. There’s a single, standard engine in the Ridgeline, which makes it the perfect choice if you want a truck without the hassle of deciding between numerous options. We like having options, but it typically just means there is one great engine to choose and a few less-worthy ones.

 

When you choose a 2021 Honda Ridgeline, you know it has the best engine possible and gives you excellent performance. It can tow up to 5,000 lbs when properly equipped and features a dual cab and short bed, making it a great choice for loading up to go camping or to spend a day tailgating.

Find Your Next Honda

It is evident that there are many options available when you are looking at Honda vehicles for sale. So if you have any questions or are ready to jump behind the wheel, give us at Ralph Honda a call or a visit. We look forward to helping you drive away in the Honda of your dreams.
