The Upcoming 2023 Honda Fleet

Excitement is in the air. While many see the transition from year to year as a time for optimism, rejuvenation, and rebirth, some are excited for an entirely different reason, but one that’s just as relevant to the theme of new beginnings and transition. That’s right, the offerings from the upcoming model year will soon be here! With every year that passes, manufacturers perfect their offerings and fine-tune their craft for the benefit of the millions of consumers who depend on them daily. Among the brands that are set to make a considerable impact is Honda.

The Japanese-based manufacturer has never ceased to impress through its keen eye for safety, performance, and technology. Today, we’ll be looking at some of the offerings from the upcoming 2023 model year. This is information that will inform you as well as entice you. As your Buffalo Honda dealer, we are excited to share with you some of the things you can expect to see on our lot in the coming year.

Many people have it in their head that when it comes to pickup trucks, domestic is best. However, as we’ve seen many times before, overseas brands are just as capable of providing reliable workhorses to the men and women who need them. The seasons in Buffalo can be quite arduous to navigate in, and the Ridgeline is the perfect vehicle to tame the freezing tundra in the winter or cruise the open road in the summer.

The 2023 Honda Ridgeline comes with a single engine option: a 3.5L V6 that produces 280 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. With this power, the Ridgeline can tow up to 5,000 lbs. Always one to stand out from the crowd, the Ridgeline makes use of a unibody design that makes it as maneuverable as an SUV. Its standard driver-assist features, which include Adaptive Cruise Control and Forward Collision Warning, make it a good option for those who want to have an extra layer of protection when bringing the boat to the Buffalo River or heading out of the city.

If your life is more family-oriented and you’re looking for a reliable method of transportation that’s practical, cost-effective, and your kids won’t mind being seen in, then you’re in luck. The Honda CR-V, which has been given a bold new redesign for the upcoming model year, is a good option for families of five or less. The new body style, which is closer to the ground and possesses a sportier appearance, is accentuated by a spacious interior that allows for storage and comfort.

For those who are interested in getting the most between trips to the gas station, as the busy schedule of a family waits for no one, you’ll be quite satisfied. The CR-V base engine, the 1.5L turbo I-4 with all-wheel drive, gets an EPA-estimated 27 MPG in the city and 32 MPG on the highway. Some of this efficiency is attributed to the updated CVT transmission. For those looking to reap the maximum benefits when it comes to fuel consumption, the hybrid version of the CR-V is worth every penny. The 2.0L I-4 hybrid engine with all-wheel drive gets an EPA-estimated 40 MPG in the city and 34 MPG on the highway.

What happens when you want a practical and cost-effective vehicle that’s also sporty and stylish? You go with the Honda Civic. Carrying many of the same changes that were implemented for the 2022 model year into the upcoming one, the Civic comes in the form of either a hatchback or a sedan. With various trims, the Civic once again continues the tradition of being versatile to a wide variety of tastes and interests. The Civic SI and Type-R both make a comeback for the model year and are still regarded as the creme-de-la-creme of the Civic world.

For fans of the Civic who are interested in maximizing their refueling stops, the Civic EX boasts an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 33 MPG in the city and 42 MPG on the highway. The interior of the 2023 Civic is just as sleek and stylish. A standard seven-inch infotainment screen and a wide range of safety and driving assistance features elevate the tech element of the vehicle further than previous incarnations. According to a recent census, the population in Buffalo surpassed 200,000. This means more people per square mile and more drivers on the road at any given time. Possessing a smaller vehicle that has good fuel efficiency when traveling in the city is a good investment.

If the new variations of the CR-V and Civic are a little too small for what you’re looking for, then the Passport is just what you need. Similar to the Ridgeline, the Passport dispels the notion that SUVs and larger vehicles are strictly a domestic brand success. The Passport is the ideal compromise between optimized performance and style that can certainly deliver the goods in its own unique way.

The Passport is more than ideal for those who need a strong and sturdy workhorse. Much like the Ridgeline, the Passport is equipped with the 3.5L V6, which generates 280 horsepower. Over eight inches of ground clearance and a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 lbs level the playing field with its domestic contemporaries. It is large enough to get the job done yet possesses enough compactness to be ideal for the modern family, with up to 100.7 available cubic feet of storage space.

SUVs have come a long way from the days when they were overbearing and relied upon beefy powertrains. The living antithesis of this old method of design can be found in the Honda HR-V. While it might be the smallest member of the Honda SUV fleet, it’s also the most practical for city dwellers living in Buffalo who are in need of storage and sensibility. Priced less than similar offerings from Volkswagen and Hyundai, the brand-new redesign for 2023 is certain to turn a lot of heads with its emphasis on comfort.

The HR-V’s 158 horsepower engine equipped with a CVT is ideal for the city and suburbs. With this model, you can get an EPA-estimated 26 MPG in the city and 32 MPG on the highway with front-wheel drive. There is a standard seven-inch touchscreen or an available nine-inch version that sits at eye level in the dash. If you want to enhance your interior comfort and style, you can add leather-trimmed seats.

As another year passes into the record books and another decade comes one step closer to being confined to the annals of history, the automotive industry continues to move forward by leaps and bounds. With the 2023 Honda fleet, perfection and innovation have taken a physical form and offer consumers, drivers, and everyone else, for that matter, something that they can embrace wholeheartedly and take advantage of.
