Honda May Add HondaVAC to More Odyssey Models

Honda always has strived to be an innovative brand when it comes to technology, and they proved that in an especially unique way back in 2014 when they debuted a range-topping version of the 2014 Honda Odyssey that featured a built-in HondaVAC vacuum cleaner.

Situated just inside an interior rear panel of the minivan, the HondaVAC is a perfect tool for families with children who make incredible messes when riding inside the family vehicle. Rather than lugging around a shop vac (which is impossible) or even a clutter-creating dust-buster, Honda introduced this vacuum cleaner to make life easier for consumers.

Honda Releases 2016 CR-V Special Edition

It might seem like hyperbole to say that everybody loves the 2016 Honda CR-V, but the fact that it’s the best-selling SUV in the entire country right now sort of makes that statement true. We here at Pacific Honda are pleased to announce that it’s about to get even more popular, as Honda plans to release a Special Edition model in the coming months.

Honda Accord Named IIHS Top Safety Pick+

One of the reasons that consumers really give Honda vehicles serious consideration is their reputation for safety. Five 2015 models (and two 2016 models, so far) have been named either a Top Safety Pick or a Top Safety Pick+ by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety for their efforts in the arena of safety, with the most recent of those automobiles being the 2016 Honda Accord, recently refreshed to offer frontal collision prevention and to dominate the always tough small-front overlap crash test.

Honda Earns Most KBB.com Awards in 2015

Honda vehicles are about as decorated as any auto brand in the world, and while a lot of those accolades come with huge trophies from long-standing, respected organizations, there isn’t a single honor that your San Diego Honda dealership takes for granted, particularly those from online auto valuation website Kelley Blue Book.

2016 Honda CR-V Earns 5-Star Safety Rating

While it’s easy to look at all the bells and whistles that automakers offer these days in their safety technology suites, the truth is that automakers put a lot of work into making their automobiles as safe as possible in ways that aren’t even remotely complicated. While it’s great that so many new Honda vehicles offer blind spot monitoring and other such advanced safety tech, sometimes it really is as simple as designing a car that crumples appropriately upon impact. It doesn’t sound like much, but keeping the cabin of a vehicle secure is the first step in making sure everybody in the vehicle is safe when it matters most.

Honda Models Top Segments in Value Retention

The auto industry is a funny thing sometimes. Take, for example, the 2015 Honda CR-V, which is the best-selling SUV in the industry, and how it recently was named the best in its segment for projected value retention after five years by Edmunds.com. Logically, one would think that if the used CR-V market is flooded with inventory five years down the road that it would actually hold onto less of its value, but that doesn’t look like what’s going to happen.

2016 Honda Civic to Debut in September

From the moment that Honda debuted the all-new, completely-redesigned 2016 Honda Civic concept vehicle in New York earlier this year, Honda dealers all over the country had a sense that it was going to be something special. With over 16.5 million models sold in its history, the Civic is the best-selling model that this particular automaker has ever developed, and we already can tell that the latest iteration is going to further boost those numbers.
