Honda has done it again with its newest award-winning SUVs, the 2018 HR-V, CR-V, and Pilot. All three crossovers are envy-inducing additions to the already-robust SUV market in America, but which model is best for you? Here’s a breakdown of each 2018 Honda SUV to ensure you’re making the right choice.
The 2018 NAIAS (North American International Auto Show) may be over, but its impact on the industry continues. Besides its reputation for exhibiting the most brilliant automotive creations in the world, January's event raised $5.1 million dollars for southeastern Michigan children's charities. (Fun fact: The NAIAS Charity Preview event is reputed to be the largest single-night fundraiser in the world.)
The 2018 NAIAS was certainly an event to remember—especially for Honda fans. Here’s a recap of all that Honda showed off the Detroit Auto Show this year.

Honda has a reputation for innovation, and the 2018 Ridgeline is a perfect example of how they've earned that status as one of the world’s freshest automakers. The new Ridgeline is Honda's take on what a midsize pickup should be: hardworking yet comfortable, versatile, and innovative. This 2018 truck carries over the same award-winning demeanor as its 2017 predecessor—which was a 2017 North American Truck of the Year Award winner, mind you—and critics can’t get enough of it.

Perhaps one of the most valuable resources that Kelley Blue Book offers is their annual "Best Buy Awards" list, which narrows down the best of the best (obviously), alleviating customers’ car-shopping stresses from the equation.
