For years, the Honda Accord has long been recognized as the top selling car in the United States. Because of its features and attention to providing only the best driving experience to its customers, it is no surprise why this recognition should be given to the Accord. But now that it’s back with a 2014 year model, there is a new title that the sedan will be using alongside its top selling recognition– the 2014 Green Car of the Year.
On a yearly basis, the Green Car Journal gives out an award to the vehicle that meets their criteria on environmental performance. For 2014, the publication has chosen the Accord lineup of engine options (4-cylinder, V-6, Hybrid, and the Plug-In Hybrid) as its recipient for the award for a variety of reasons, particularly its ability to offer various efficient options. Earlier, the 2014 Honda Accord was also honored as among the publication’s Top 5 Green Cars for 2014. It has also received the magazine’s esteemed distinction as the Green Car Product of Excellence.
And in truth, Honda has long been a leader in providing environmental solutions for the rising challenges met by the car manufacturing industry. It was the first to offer a production vehicle with an Ultra-Low-Emission Vehicle (ULEV)-rated emission technology. As for the 2014 Accord, Honda has provided another set of features that only boost their continuous support. Built with a 2.4-liter 16-valve Earth Dream Technology i-VTEC 4-cylinder engine, this year’s Accord is capable of producing 185 horsepower. The car also comes with Eco Assist System, an intelligent feature that makes the car and his driver cooperate in improving fuel efficiency. Lastly, a push of the ECON button results to the Accord to automatically adjust its fuel-consuming systems in order to maximize efficiency.
Considering that this is the third time the Accord has received the title as the Green Car of the Year, it goes to prove that Honda is paying attention to the requests of its customers. By providing different engine options, potential car buyers get to see which option best fits their needs and wants for a vehicle. Visit Brannon Honda to check out the new 2014 Accord today!
