Kelley's Blue Book Adds the Honda Accord Odyssey & CR-V to “10 Best Family Cars of 2013” List

MIDDLETOWN, N.Y. - May 23, 2013 - PRLog -- Three new Honda models at Middletown Honda (http://www.middletownhonda.com/new-inventory/), the 2013 Honda Accord sedan, the Odyssey minivan, and the CR-V crossover, have been named a part of Kelley Blue Book's “10 Best Family Cars of 2013” list. An industry compass for vehicle value and quality, KBB has highlighted Honda vehicles that are excellent choices for families and their needs.

"Honda prides itself in designing vehicles around the needs of our customers," said Art St. Cyr, vice president of product planning and logistics at American Honda. "There's no better validation for this effort than being recognized for having vehicles that excel in the areas critical to the family buyer."

In comparison to ten other vehicles in its class, the 2013 Honda Accord (http://www.middletownhonda.com/models/2013-honda-accord/) was the most highly ranked, as well as the vehicle with the lowest five-year cost to own. This is an important factor when considering the overall cost of a vehicle especially in today’s troubled economy.

Following suit, the 2013 Honda CR-V currently carries the highest 60 month residual rating on KBB.com. This makes the CR-V an excellent option for families who might want to sell in the future. The eight-seat 2013 Odyssey minivan was the highest ranked in its segment with editors lauding its class-leading fuel efficiency and its strong safety rating.

All three vehicles have been chosen as 2013 Safety Picks by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Safety is one of the most important factors for a family shopping for a new vehicle. Honda not only provides advance systems that help to protect occupants in the event of a crash, but preventative systems as well, including a standard rearview camera, vehicle stability assist, electronic brake distribution, and tire pressure monitoring system

The 2013 Accord was chosen as a 2013 Top Safety Pick+, designating its strong performance in all crash test categories.
