Best Entry-Level Models from Honda

If you’re ready to see why Honda drivers keep coming back to the brand—vehicle after vehicle—maybe it’s time to start with an entry-level option. These models offer amazing features for the price and are more budget-conscious than flagship options. Whether the vehicle is a first for a new driver, a commuter car for a professional, a young family, or you just want to enjoy the joys of owning a Honda at the best possible value, one of these models will be perfect for you. The models on this list offer the reliability, efficiency, and comfort you’d expect from Honda, without breaking the bank.

HR-V 

The HR-V checks all the boxes for a crossover that can meet the needs of either urban or rural drivers. The in-line 4-cylinder 16-valve SOHC i-VTEC® produces 141 horsepower and 127 lb-ft of torque, which is more than enough to get the lightweight HR-V where it needs to go. The available Real Time All-Wheel Drive with Intelligent Control System™ and standard Vehicle Stability Assist with Traction Control all work together to keep this crossover on the road and the driver in control in the harshest of driving conditions. The Honda HR-V also uses creative solutions to make the most of its compact space with three separate storage modes: Utility Mode, Tall Mode, and Long Mode. HR-V owners can either keep it simple for the city or add any of Honda’s attractive or functional accessories, including trim kits, fog lights, 17-inch alloy wheels, splash guards, aggressive sport grille, or crossbars on the roof for extra-large cargo like bikes or kayaks

Civic Sedan

A classic staple of the Honda lineup, the redesigned Honda Civic Sedan is perfect for drivers who want to experience iconic Honda engineering and reliability. With a standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder 158 horsepower engine, the 2022 Honda Civic sedan provides ample power for a vehicle in its class. This small sedan can reach 60 miles per hour in about 7.8 seconds. Also, the 2022 Honda Civic sedan is a winner when it comes to fuel economy with a rating of 33 miles per gallon in the city and 42 miles per gallon on the highway. * From the standard tech to driver assist features, this small sedan gives you a lot for your money. One of the most impressive features of the 2022 Honda Civic is its large 9.0-inch touchscreen that's available on the Touring trim. Finally, the 2022 Honda Civic sedan comes standard with Traffic Sign Recognition. This advanced system allows the vehicle to recognize traffic signs and allows the diver to be better attuned to information on the road. For instance, the Traffic Sign Recognition system is able to detect when the speed limit has changed.

Odyssey

The Odyssey has made it more attainable than ever if you have a busy life, a big family, or need a ton of space. The 2021 Honda Odyssey gets its motivation from a 3.5-liter direct-injected V6 engine, paired with an efficient 10-speed automatic transmission. With 280 horsepower, you’ll have plenty of muscle on hand for passing duties and hill climbs. The 10-speed transmission also helps the 2021 Odyssey achieve its EPA-estimated 19 MPG city and 28 MPG highway rating, which means you’ll also have plenty of driving range for those long-distance trips.* Activating the Odyssey’s Snow Mode gives you better traction and handling under icy and slippery road conditions. Honda makes getting in and out of the 2021 Odyssey easier thanks to its Magic Slide second-row seats. Remove the center seat and this innovative feature lets you slide the outboard captain’s chairs towards the middle for easier third-row access. You can also slide the passenger seat forward to keep younger kids within easier reach. You’ll find this feature on the EX trim level and above.
