Five Great Hondas for Folks in Brockport

For folks like us who live in Brockport, we know all the wonderful things this great town has to offer. Nestled along the banks of the scenic and historic Erie Canal, Brockport has pivoted from an old industrial town to a hip village with fantastic restaurants, unique boutiques and shops, and a great place to raise a family. Our town of Brockport profits from its proximity to SUNY Brockport, ensuring a constant influx of new students ready to learn all about the place we call home. One thing you will need if you live here is a great car, and the best place to find a great car is at a Honda dealer near Brockport.

 

So, what Honda models are perfect for Brockport drivers? The team here at Ralph Honda identified five vehicles that will be ideal for folks in Brockport, able to handle what Mother Nature dishes out each winter while also being fun rides to get around town. At Ralph Honda, we get things done right. Stop by today and see why we are the Number One dealer in Western New York. Located nearby in Rochester, we offer a full lineup of new, used, and certified pre-owned Honda cars, trucks, vans, and SUVs, so you will have no problem finding your next vehicle with us.

The Honda CR-V has been one of the most popular compact SUVs on the market for years, and it is ideal for folks who live and work in Brockport. This crossover uses an incredibly efficient 1.5-liter turbocharged I-4 engine to produce 190 hp and 179 lb-ft of torque. It is incredibly peppy for a relatively small engine, so you’re going to have to watch the speedometer to avoid getting tickets over on Main Street. Honda also offers the CR-V with a hybrid engine, which is great if you are concerned about the environment or just want to get incredible mileage. As it is, a traditional gasoline-powered CR-V will give you 28 MPG in city driving and 34 MPG on the highway, so you will be spending more time enjoying your car than sitting in line at the gas pump.

 

The CR-V is incredibly roomy for a relatively small vehicle. Whichever model you choose, you and your four passengers will enjoy 105.9 cubic feet of passenger space to stretch out in. That translates into 40.4 inches of legroom in the rear row of seats, so you won’t have to worry about your friends fighting over who gets to ride shotgun. Also, talking about space, the CR-V offers 39.2 cubic feet of cargo space in its trunk, which increases to an incredible 75.8 cubic feet with the rear seat folded down. This will give you all the room you need, whether you’re moving a child into a dorm at the College of Brockport or just taking a load of groceries home from the store.

The Honda Accord has been winning accolades for years and remains one of the best midsize sedans on the market. The Accord is sportier and roomier than ever with the 2021 model year update. One of the best things about the Accord is that the hybrid version is very affordable, with an MSRP starting at $26,370, just slightly above the $24,770 base MSRP on the Accord with a gas engine. The hybrid engine on the Accord Hybrid merges a 2.0-liter I-4 gas engine with an electric motor, giving you up to 212 hp and 232 lb-ft of torque. This will give you acceleration unlike any other alternative fuel vehicle you’ve ever driven. Not just that, but the Accord Hybrid provides an estimated 48 miles per gallon in both the city and the highway. This is the kind of fuel economy that puts money in your pocket.

 

The Accord is also one of the safest vehicles on the road today. This is because every trim comes standard with the Honda Sensing suite of advanced safety features. This includes a collision mitigation braking system, road departure mitigation system, lane keeping assist system, adaptive cruise control, traffic sign recognition, and more – all included in the base price of the car.

Sometimes you need more room in your vehicle. Sometimes five seats aren’t enough. When that happens, you should look at a Honda Pilot. This three-row midsize SUV offers you a very roomy interior even in the third row with over 57 inches of shoulder room and 31.9 inches of legroom for people sitting all the way in the back. The Pilot has over 152 cubic feet of passenger space, as well as over 109 cubic feet of cargo space with the two back rows folded down.

 

The Pilot is front-wheel drive standard, but you might consider getting the available all-wheel drive model to improve your overall traction, especially during our Brockport winters. The engine is a 3.5-liter V-6 paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. This produces up to 280 hp and 262 lb-ft of traction. It also allows the Pilot to tow up to 5,000 lbs with all-wheel drive, making it an even more versatile vehicle.

If you want a pickup truck, but don’t want to have problems parking in downtown Brockport, then the Honda Ridgeline is the truck for you. This midsize truck has the power of a bigger truck with none of the drawbacks. The Honda Ridgeline runs on a 3.5-liter V-6 engine with a 9-speed automatic transmission. This allows the Ridgeline to carry up to 1,580 lbs of payload and tow up to 5,000 lbs. This should come in handy if you are looking to take a snowmobile out for the weekend or if you are just looking to pick up some supplies at the local hardware store for a weekend of home improvements.

 

The Honda Ridgeline is also one of the safest trucks on the road. This is because Honda has made the suite of Honda Sensing active safety features standard on every trim of the Ridgeline. As a result, the Ridgeline was named as a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), a rare distinction for a pickup truck to attain.

There are some folks out there who hear the phrase minivan and run away. If they do this with the Honda Odyssey, then they are making a big mistake. There are minivans, and then there is the Odyssey. This vehicle is all about versatility and performance. The versatility comes in an interior that is roomy and luxurious, able to easily seat up to 8 passengers. Honda takes things to the next level with plenty of options, like the available HondaVAC that makes cleaning the Odyssey easy, where other automakers make it a challenge. There are also the available CabinWatch and Magic Slide second-row seats that allow you to convert the Odyssey from passenger to cargo van and back in minutes.

 

To keep the family entertained, the Honda Odyssey offers an available 8-inch color touchscreen as part of the Honda Connect infotainment system. This will seamlessly connect your smartphones to the system via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration and Bluetooth connectivity. The Odyssey also offers an 11-speaker premium audio system that is so exceptional that even the toughest two-year-old will be entertained. So, you won’t have to sit through choruses of “are we there yet” when you and the kids are in the Odyssey. But the Odyssey is not only comfortable and convenient; it is also extremely safe and was named a Top Safety Pick+ by the IIHS. The safety rating comes from the standard safety features of the advanced Honda Sensing Suite.

 

Honda offers so much value with the CR-V, Accord Hybrid, Pilot, Ridgeline, and Odyssey. Whether you buy one new, used, or certified pre-owned, you will be getting the safety, drivability, and dependability that are synonymous with the Honda brand name. And whichever Honda model you decide to buy, you are going to have a great time exploring Brockport and all that our part of New York State has to offer.
