2016 Honda Civic wins prestigious 2016 North American Car of the Year Award

We introduced you to the 2016 Honda Civic at the end of last year, and the highly-anticipated Sedan is now for sale at our San Benito dealership. Perfectly in time with its arrival, the Honda Civic has been named the 2016 North American Car of the Year.

At Gillman Honda San Benito, we’re really excited and humbled by the recognition. The Civic has been a staple in the Honda lineup, and this 2016 model reaches new levels of style, performance and technology. All of those characteristics combine with Honda’s tradition of safety and affordability in a truly delightful car.

The announcement of the North American Car of the Year was made at the Detroit Auto Show. Another exciting happening at the North American International Auto Show was the Honda Ridgeline Reveal.

What makes this award truly special is that it’s not presented by a single publication or website.  Instead, it’s judged by an independent panel of 53 automotive journalists from across North America. It honors the most exceptional car in consideration of:

• Innovation

• Design

• Safety

• Performance

• Handling

• Driver satisfaction

• Value

The 2016 Honda Civic is quite the standout. It features a sporty and sleek design, refined interior and a comprehensive suite of safety features. Enhancements for 2016 include a more spacious and high-quality cabin, two advanced new engines and new vehicle architecture. The Civic is the first compact car to include Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™.

Gillman Honda San Benito has a vast selection of 2016 Civic models including the EX, LX, EX-T, EX-L and Touring. Let us help you find the right selection for you!
