May 15, 2025

Hey Honda people! đź‘‹ 

Welcome back to the Holler Honda Newsletter. Whether you’re a new Honda owner, or a long-time fan, we’re glad to be in your inbox.

Here’s what’s coming up:

  • Honda wins more 2025 Kelley Blue Book Consumer Choice Awards than Any Other Car Brand

  • Honda’s Best Selling CR-V Gets 2026 TrailSport Hybrid version

  • Honda Passport TrailSport hangs tough!

  • Latest Honda news!

Honda named 2025’s “Most Trusted Brand” , “Best Overall Brand”, and “Best Value” by KBB Consumer Choice Awards, among others

So get this, Honda won FIVE (5) Kelley Blue Book 2025 Consumer Choice Awards including:

  1. America’s Best Overall Brand

  2. Most Trusted Brand

  3. Best Value Brand

  4. America’s Best In-Vehicle Experience Brand

  5. Best Performance Brand

Yeah, you read that right. Little Honda from Japan was chosen as AMERICA’S Best Performance Brand, not a roaring V8 from American carmakers. And this isn’t some stuffy group of journalists making this decision; it’s YOU!

More specifically, over 12,000 new vehicle shoppers chose Honda as the Best in Class for the KBB Awards categories above.

Of course it’s the Type R, what did you expect? 315-Horsepower in a Civic.

And it’s easy to see why; for starters, Honda just gets it. I mean, being a major player in the American market since 1959 suggests you’re going to learn a thing or two about our country’s automotive market.

Dating back to the Civic and Accord debuts during the 1970s Oil Crisis to now with modern emission standards pushing for EVs, Honda repeatedly sets the standard for fuel efficiency, reliability, and everyday drivability in the American market.

The evolution of the Honda Civic

What is Honda’s secret? Listening to consumers and continuously improving on what worked.

It’s that simple. They improve what works and remove what doesn’t. That is smart. And speaking of smart improvements, let’s get into the New 2026 CR-V reveal below!

2026 Honda CR-V TrailSport Hybrid Full Reveal!

2026 Honda CR-V TrailSport Hybrid

Pop quiz, hot shot: What is America’s Best Selling SUV for the past 25 years? No, it’s not a Ford or Chevy. Surprise, surprise, it’s the Honda CR-V. 

So what does Honda decide to do to America’s Best Selling SUV? Why, they make an awesome off-road version that uses their powerful Hybrid system, of course.

Enter the First-Ever 2026 Honda CR-V TrailSport Hybrid.

"Our best-selling Honda CR-V is now even more of an industry benchmark with the addition of a rugged new TrailSport model, which has proven to be incredibly popular on our light trucks…The combination of rugged design elements and capabilities, incredible on-road dynamics and hybrid powertrain makes the Honda CR-V a more compelling SUV than ever before."

Jessika Laudermilk, VP of Honda National Auto Sales

The Honda Passport TrailSport Hangs Tough

Unlike some famous "truck” that looks like a five year-old’s truck drawing, the Passport TrailSport actually IS tough.

Where’s my evidence? This real video from Honda showing three Passport TrailSports dangling from a crane AND each other! Watch the video above then keep reading!

Honda states the recovery points on the first and highest Passport were holding over 14,000 lbs and reached a height of 100 feet. Impressive!

This thing is serious about its off-road chops by the way, including a specially tuned off-road suspension, enhanced all-wheel drive features for different terrain, dedicated AT Tires (All-Terrain), and steel skid plates to protect the undercarriage from rocks!

Oh yeah, can’t forget to mention the ridiculously strong heavy-duty recovery points that can hold multiple Passports together….so yeah, I think it could probably handle your muddy drive to the beach.

Weekend adventurers look no further— come test a TrailSport today! 

I can’t believe it either, Dwayne.
