· 6th Annual Hispanic Motor Press Awards® select best vehicles for Hispanic families
Honda claimed two Hispanic Motor Press Awards® with the all-new 2016 #honda #civic named ‘Best Compact Sedan” and the all-new 2016 #honda #pilot named “Best #suv.” The awards honor the best all-new or heavily refreshed vehicles for Hispanic families in 2016.
“The all-new #civic and #pilot were designed to define their segments with striking styling, industry-leading safety ratings and advanced technology unmatched by competitors,” said Jeff Conrad, senior vice president and general manager of the #honda Division, American #honda Motor Co., Inc. “Receiving these awards from the Hispanic Motor Press for #civic and #pilot validates the efforts of the many #honda associates throughout North America who developed and built these two great new vehicles.”
The all-new 2016 #honda #civic has been redesigned from the ground up to be the sportiest in brand history. The 10th-generation #civic includes dynamic styling, two all-new powertrains, including a Civic-first turbocharged engine, a 178-horsepower 1.5-liter direct injected turbo, and a bevy of consumer and safety tech, including Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, along with the available #honda Sensing™ suite of safety and driver-assistive technologies.
The 2016 #honda #pilot puts families first with seating for seven or eight occupants, a powerful, efficient direct-injected 3.5-liter V6 engine, as well as an available 9-speed automatic transmission and advanced new Intelligent Traction Management system. The #pilot also offers all of the features families want and need, ranging from available #honda Sensing™ safety and driver-assistive technologies, to Blu-Ray DVD rear seat entertainment.
“The 2016 #civic is a bit longer, with a roomier interior and a high level of connectivity, with a smooth power plant. These enhancements make this new platform a real winner for the Hispanic consumer,” said Ricardo Rodriguez-Long, Jury Director, Hispanic Motor Press. “The new #pilot has grown into a practical and efficient family vehicle. With the AWD option, three-row seating, safety features and a premium feel, it stood out among the other options tested by the jurors. It’s a very good all-around package for the larger Hispanic family."
