Mid-sized sedans are becoming less and less popular in the automobile industry, but companies like Honda are aiming to bring them back into the spotlight. In fact, Honda has put so much effort into improving their sedans that the 2018 Honda Accord was recently named the 2018 North American Car of the Year. Here's a quick look at what pushed the 2018 Honda Accord over the edge and gave it a leg up on the competition. Increased Cargo Space One of the biggest reasons that so many people are opting for larger SUVs these days is their larger cargo capacity. While the Accord isn't going to beat many of the more spacious SUVs on the market today, it does offer an impressive 16.7 cubic feet of cargo space, which is more than enough for most drivers. That's a pretty big improvement over last year's 13 cubic feet. A New Engine The 2018 Accord also breaks away from the larger V-6 engine and has replaced it with a turbocharged 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine. These smaller VTECH engines offer a much more fuel-efficient ride without sacrificing much in the way of performance when compared to larger, less efficient engines. The truth is, there's so much to love about the all-new 2018 Honda Accord, it's impossible to cover it all here. To best experience everything that won this vehicle the title of 2018 North American Car of the Year, head over to a local Honda dealership and check one out for yourself. Image via Flickr by mliu92

Teaching a teen to drive is hard, but it's even more stressful if you are not in the right vehicle. Some cars are just easier to handle than others, and most new drivers need all the help they can get. Teach your teen to drive with these Hondas. The Honda CR-V The CR-V is a small crossover SUV that sits a new driver up a little higher for a better view of the road. There are two different engine options in the 2018 model including a 1.5-liter turbo engine that delivers excellent low-end torque to help with passing and merging. The Honda Fit The Fit is a subcompact car that will easily fit into tight parking spots, and since it has a tight turning radius, it is easy to maneuver around city streets. It gets its power from a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 130 horsepower which is just enough, without being too much. For the 2018 model, the two higher trims come standard with the Honda Sensing safety suite, and it has a manual transmission so new drivers can learn how to drive a stick shift. The Honda Civic Sedan The Civic is another small car that is easy to drive for those who are just getting behind the wheel. The base 2.0-liter produces 158 horsepower, and it comes with either a CVT or a six-speed manual. The compact footprint of the Civic is perfect for drivers learning to park, and it handles well on curvy roads. Take a look at one of these Honda vehicles when teaching your teen to drive.

When you're shopping in the three-row crossover SUV segment, one model stands apart from the rest. The 2018 Honda Pilot is one of the top choices for shoppers who want extra seating, leading performance, and comfort features. Power and Performance Many of the competitors in the midsize crossover segment have four-cylinder engines beneath their hoods, so power is an area in which the Pilot excels. Every model boasts a capable 3.5-liter V-6 that pumps out 262 pound-feet of torque and 280 horsepower. The engine pairs with a six-speed automatic transmission that delivers smooth shifting for a more comfortable ride. Traction Management Something else that sets the 2018 Honda Pilot apart from its competitors is the available traction management system. Some midsize crossovers are available with all-wheel drive, but very few have a traction management system. The EX trim level and above come standard with Honda's intelligent traction management, which has snow, sand, and mud modes with all-wheel drive or snow mode with front-wheel drive. Tech and Safety The Pilot also beats out other models in terms of safety and tech features. On the safety side, every model comes with a rearview camera, while the available Honda Sensing package adds forward collision warning and braking, adaptive cruise control, and lane departure warning and intervention. If you're transporting your family, you can also add a rear-seat entertainment system. Visit O'Daniel Honda to test drive the 2018 Honda Pilot and see how it stacks up against other three-row SUVs.

If you don't think a minivan is cool enough for you, then it's time you learn about the 2018 Honda Odyssey. We bring you three reasons why this car will blow your mind (and make you forget about SUVs). Design If there was a beauty competition between an SUV and any minivan, a sports utility would probably win. But the 2018 Honda Odyssey is not just any minivan. New LED taillights and a grille that follows the style of Honda's newest models are just two of the design details that make this minivan standout. Versatility Seating arrangements are one of the most important features in a family car. You also want it to be the least of your concerns when you're trying to keep the kids from fighting or reaching the one who's feeling car sick quickly enough to avoid a car-cleaning calamity. You don't need the space of an SUV, you need a smart way to use it. Honda's signature Magic Slide seats come standard with every model, so you don't have to pay extra for your much-deserved comfort. Technology When you have to keep an eye on the road and an eye on the kids, you almost wish your superpower was a second set of eyes on the back of your head. Well, CabinWatch won't give you extra eyes but it will give you extra vision. The dashboard central screen displays images caught by the infrared camera installed in the overhead rear-seat entertainment system. Minivans can be cool and practical after all.

The Honda Accord has been around for 10 car generations and has been awarded Car of the Year many times. However, this is the first year the mid-size sedan has won the North American Car of the Year Award. Given that impressive history, it's no surprise that the 2018 Honda Accord again came out on top this year. Exterior In a word, the new 2018 Honda Accord is beautiful. This vehicle went through a complete exterior overhaul in 2017. The 2018 updated design gives it a sleek look and makes the car as a whole appear more aerodynamic. In addition to its new design, the exterior combines high-strength steel and advanced engineering to give passengers a safer ride. LED lighting and a flush-mounted windshield complete the sporty look of this year's Car of the Year winner. Interior The wheelbase has been expanded, and the overall length of the car has been shortened, giving it more room inside than it's ever had before. Taller drivers will have little problem fitting into the front and back seats of this spacious car. The trunk has also been expanded, giving drivers extra space for storage. Drivetrain This year, the Honda Accord tout's new turbo engines in two different styles. They introduced the first 10-speed automatic transmission and also have provided a six-speed standard engine for a sportier ride. These drastic changes are what contributed to this year's Honda Accord winning the prestigious award for North American Car of the Year.

Ridgeline AWD RTL-T shown in Lunar Silver Metallic with accessory roof rails and running boards. The updated 2017 Honda Ridgeline doesn't just raise the bar for Honda trucks - it raises the bar for all trucks. The newest iteration comes with some huge updates, including but not limited to increased towing capacity, new technology, and a new body style. Let's take a look at 3 of the biggest shakeups the Ridgeline brings to the table. New Tailgate Design A tailgate's a tailgate, right? You might think so, but the 2017 Honda Ridgeline isn't any old tailgate. You can drop it down just like a traditional pick-up gate, or (and here's where things get interesting) you can swing it open from the driver's side just like a station wagon. Not only that but there's an additional built in storage trunk built right into the bed that gives you even more storage space and versatility. That storage trunk has a built in lock, so you'll have some extra peace of mind when leaving your tools or tailgating supplies in it. Increased Storage Capacity So, we've already talked about the secret storage trunk in the bed, but that's not all the Ridgeline has to offer when it comes to storage. The inside of the cab is roomy and comfortable, and manages to pack in even more storage in the form of a flip-up rear seat that can hold a lot - up to and including a golf bag. The bed is 4 inches longer than on the 2016 model and is even wide enough that it can safely and comfortably hold a 4x8 sheet of wood flat in between the wheel wells. Technology If you're in the market for a truck that has all the creature comforts and ease of driving you'd expect from a crossover, but need the storage capacity and towing ability of a truck - look no further than the 2017 Honda Ridgeline. Inside the cab you'll find a built in 8-inch touchscreen display that can control the entertainment system, support for Apple Carplay and Android Auto, 3-zone climate control, and rear seating with a 60/40 split with a flat-load floor. Not only that, but the rearview camera is a step up from the previous model and even includes multi-angle views. The upper trim-levels even include blind-spot monitoring! There are a lot of options when it comes to midsize trucks, but if you're looking for one that doesn't just measure up but raises the bar for years to come, look no further than the 2017 Honda Ridgeline. With its combination of technology, capability and comfort, the 2017 Honda Ridgeline is a truck of its own class.
