Honda Motor Co. earned the most awards in the 2016 U.S. News Best Cars for the Money awards, unveiled recently at usnews.com/cars-money. Covering 23 automotive categories, the awards highlight a single vehicle in each class that provides consumers with the best combination of quality and value.
The Best Cars for the Money methodology combines quality and value data into a composite score. Within each of the 23 categories, the vehicle with the highest score is named the Best Car for the Money in that category.
Honda’s six awards — the most awards won by a single brand in the past five years — include Best Compact Car, Subcompact Car and Minivan for the Money. “Honda continues to impress reviewers with the quality and design of nearly all of their products,” said Jamie Page Deaton, managing editor of U.S. News Best Cars. “No matter what kind of car someone is looking for, a Honda is almost always a good choice.”
Chevrolet and Toyota each won three awards. Acura, Honda’s luxury division, earned two. The Lincoln MKX won Best Luxury Two-Row SUV for the Money, breaking the Lexus RX’s seven-year winning streak.
The 2016 awards are the first to include the rapidly expanding affordable and luxury subcompact SUV classes, with the Honda HR-V winning Best Subcompact SUV for the Money and the BMW X1 winning Best Luxury Subcompact SUV for the Money.
The Best Cars for the Money awards will be presented to the winning automakers on Feb. 11 during press preview days at the Chicago Auto Show.
