The Most Popular Vehicles in America

Popularity isn’t Everything, But it Helps

For the past few years, the Honda Accord, Civic, CR-V and Odyssey have retained top spots as the most popular vehicles in U.S., in their respective segments. The Accord and Civic have also taken the top spots in California, a spot that had long been held by a certain hybrid vehicle. So if you’re looking for the most popular vehicles in America, look no further than Planet Honda.

Each vehicle managed to be sold more often than every other vehicle in their segment. The Honda Civic’s closest competitor was still nearly 45,000 units behind. The Honda Odyssey also performed well and held onto 32 percent of the retail segment. But why is each vehicle so popular?

Each of these Honda vehicles offers drivers superior handling, power and fuel efficiency. They also offer some of the safest drives available. The Honda Odyssey specifically shined when it was the only minivan to score an overall good rating in a new crash test performed by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The CR-V scored just as well and earned superior marks for front crash prevention with optional equipment.

The 2015 Honda Civic was also named the car of the year in its segment by Kelley Blue Book, because of its overall performance and quality. It offers a spacious interior with an easy to use infotainment system along with a surprisingly powerful engine that provides a fun to drive experience for all Civic owners.

The Accord is popular for those looking for something even more spacious yet. The midsize sedan also offers two engine options and much more power than the Civic, making it a perfect option for someone that enjoys driving and spends a fair amount of time in their vehicle every day. There just isn’t a bad option for drivers among the lineup of Honda vehicles, which is why so many of them are so popular.

New Honda Civic Natural Gas goes on sale end of November | Maita Honda

For folks who prefer to put natural gas directly into their vehicle rather than converting it to electricity first, CNG vehicles offer a cleaner alternative to gasoline power while still using a traditional powertrain. If you're looking for a sedan that runs on CNG, your current options are pretty limited - especially in the US - and you'll almost certainly be taking a look at Honda. The 2015 Honda Civic Natural Gas goes on sale starting November 19 in 37 states.

The new CNG-powered Civic sedan has a base MSRP of $26,740 (not including $790 destination fee). Opt for the Leather Navi trim, and you're still looking at a starting price below $30,000 (before destination), at $29,390. It comes equipped with a seven-inch touchscreen audio display, rearview camera and LaneWatch display as standard features. It's built at Honda's Greensburg, IN manufacturing facility.

The 2015 Civic Natural Gas can only be had with the five-speed automatic transmission. Its fuel economy is rated at a gasoline gallon equivalent of 27 miles per gallon in the city/38 highway/31 combined. It's not quite as impressive as the Civic Hybrid's 44/47/45 rating, but you will be burning natural gas, which burns cleaner and can be sourced from North America, if you're into that sort of thing. Furthermore, the American Council for Energy-Efficient Economy called the Civic Natural Gas one of its top 10 greenest vehicles of 2014, and Kelley Blue Book as one of its 10 Best Green Cars.
