5 Highlights of the 2025 Honda Accord

The 2025 Honda Accord is a practical family sedan that's fun to drive and all around a fantastic car. It has attractive styling, great gas mileage, supportive seating, and a large trunk, making it appealing for a variety of reasons. 1. The Comfortable and Supportive Seating There are a few features that make the Accord's seating feel a little luxurious. The SE and up have heated front seats, and the top trim adds ventilation to them and gives the rear outboard seats a heating function. The LX, SE, and Sport Hybrid have standard cloth upholstery, and the remaining three trims have leather-trim seats instead. The seats are supportive, particularly around the torso area. The support is nice and firm, so you won't end up with your back unsupported and feeling achy after a long drive. more 2. The Spacious Trunk The Accord's trunk will likely be big enough for all kinds of daily essentials. With 16.7 cubic feet to use, the trunk is on the larger side for a mid-size sedan, which often offer around 14 to 16 cubic feet of trunk space. That makes it a practical vehicle with trunk space that borders on matching what some larger sedans offer. 3. The Great Communication Features The LX and SE trims have a 7-inch color touchscreen, which is replaced by a 12.3-inch touchscreen in the Sport Hybrid and up. Those with a larger infotainment screen have Alexa built-in, while the Touring Hybrid has Google built-in, too. The LX and SE have wired smartphone compatibility, while the rest of the trims let you connect your smartphone to the system wirelessly. Both wired and wireless smartphone connectivity gives you a wide range of features to use conveniently hands-free. The built-in assistance on your smartphones can be accessed using voice commands through the infotainment system, and you can have the system announce incoming calls and texts, let you reply to messages using your voice, and access the calendar on your phone. 4. The Fun Entertainment Features You can access a wide range of entertainment when your smartphone is connected to the infotainment system. You can ask the system to play specific songs, artists, or albums, and it'll play them from apps you've got on your phone. The vehicle also has HD radio in the top trim, which you can use without having your smartphone connected to the Accord. 5. The Excellent Driving Feel It's really enjoyable to drive the Accord. It handles noticeably well, and it feels sporty to drive. All the control and responsiveness that come with the sporty feel make it a great car if you need something that you can trust to follow your every command in tight spaces and crowded streets.

6 Innovative Tech Features in the 2025 Honda Models

Today, Honda vehicles are full of tech features designed to increase your safety while you're driving forward, changing lanes, reversing, parking, and a whole lot more. All the 2025 vehicles at your Honda dealership have plenty of driver assistance features to aid you. 1. Blind Spots Information System Your Honda can detect when there's a vehicle in your rear-quarter blind spots. When you activate the turn signal, the car knows to watch out for vehicles in this area. If there's something detected, then the indicator on the same side that the car is on will blink, and you'll hear a beep. The beeping and blinking stop when the area is clear. more 2. Automatic High-Beans If you're driving at night, your car is able to monitor the conditions and switch between the high and low beams as needed. The feature works when you're driving above 25 mph. You have to have the low beams activated and the switch positioned to AUTO, too. When you reach a road that's clear of traffic and has no streetlights, your car will automatically turn on the high beams. If a car approaches, then your Honda will switch back to the low beams. 3. Cross Traffic Monitor If you turn on your car's rearview camera while you're backing up, then your vehicle can monitor traffic on either side of your car. The camera feed will give you a visual alert, and you'll hear a series of beeps if any vehicle approaches from the left or right. This allows you to stop and let the other vehicle pass before you continue reversing. 4. Traffic Sign Recognition Your car has a small camera that can recognize traffic signs, including speed limit postings, as you drive. When this feature is active, your car can then notify you of the speed limit, making doubly sure you drive at a safe speed for the area you're in. 5. Road Departure Mitigation System Your vehicle can detect lane lines and the edge of the road. If you drift toward either one without signaling, then your system will provide you with visual warnings and will lightly vibrate the steering wheel to bring your attention to the issue. It can also apply corrective steering to get you back into the middle of your lane. 6. Collision Mitigation Braking System Honda's Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) scans the road ahead so it can detect pedestrians and vehicles. You'll receive visual and audible warnings if the system believes you might collide with the vehicle or pedestrian up ahead, and your vehicle will apply brake pressure as needed to prevent the collision. Come to Honda Auto Center of Bellevue in Bellevue, WA, if you want a 2025 model with any of the features above. We'll direct you to the safest Honda cars on the market.

5 Benefits of Leasing a 2025 Honda Electric Vehicle

If you're drawn to Honda's 2025 lineup of superb electric vehicles, consider leasing instead of buying one. With a leased EV, you bring the price down and enjoy all the advantages listed below. Drop by your Honda dealership to understand your EV leasing benefits in detail. Your EV Becomes More Affordable Leasing has a different pricing structure than an ordinary purchase. Rather than paying the car's full value, you're only expected to cover the amount by which the EV depreciates during your lease. You'll therefore be charged a lower figure each month. On drive-off day, you'll need to cover the first month's payment, a few fees, and possibly a deposit, but the down payment will be negligible compared to that of a car loan. Overall, you stand to save a considerable sum when leasing a brand-new, top-of-the-range electric car. more EV Depreciation Is Unpredictable The marketplace for EVs is constantly evolving, often in unpredictable ways. This makes depreciation less certain and more volatile, which might be stressful for an EV owner who hopes their car won't fall too much in value. As a lessee, you're less impacted by depreciation. If depreciation for your particular model is more than expected, you don't lose out as you don't own the car. However, depreciation might be less than expected, which puts you in an advantageous position; most lease contracts include an option to buy out the lease at a prearranged price. Your Trade-Ups Are Smoother It's effortless to return a leased EV before getting behind the wheel of an even newer, better model. With no need to find a buyer for your car, trading up is quick and simple. You can therefore keep driving the newest, most advanced electric Hondas with very little hassle. Stay at the Forefront of EV Tech 2025 Honda EVs are packed with wonderful features, and their battery, handling, entertainment, and driver-support technology get better year after year. You can keep leasing the latest models to stay at the cutting-edge of this thrilling automotive technology. Avoid Post-Warranty Vehicle Issues The leasing lifestyle keeps you permanently in the driver's seat of a new EV, which means you're always protected by Honda's excellent bumper-to-bumper new-car warranty. You'll be driving these EVs in their very best years without ever needing to reach into your wallet or purse for warranty-covered vehicle faults or component replacements. Learn More Leasing Benefits at Our Honda Dealership There are even more perks to be gained with a lease, such as potential tax-related benefits. Let us know which all-electric or hybrid Honda you want, and we'll explain all you stand to gain with a convenient leasing agreement. Visit Honda Auto Center of Bellevue in Bellevue, WA, today to lease a brand-new Honda EV.

A man and a woman buying a Honda - Honda's in America: Why It's a Great Time to Buy American-Made Hondas

Honda's in America: Why It's a Great Time to Buy American-Made Hondas

If you’re in the market for a new car and wondering where your money really goes, here’s something worth thinking about: when you buy a Honda made in America, you’re not just getting a dependable, well-designed car, you’re investing in the people and communities that built it. In today’s world, where supply chains can shift overnight and prices can swing with every trade headline, buying American-built vehicles like Honda is more than smart, it’s strategic. Honda’s Homegrown Roots: Over 40 Years of Building in the U.S. Honda didn’t just show up in America, they put down roots. Since 1982, Honda has been building cars in the U.S., becoming the first Japanese automaker to manufacture vehicles on American soil. What started in Marysville, Ohio, has grown into a network of 12 major U.S. manufacturing facilities, where some of Honda’s most beloved vehicles—like the Accord, Pilot, and CR-V—are assembled with care. more Today, more than 30,000 people work for Honda in the U.S., and nearly two-thirds of all Hondas sold here are also built here. That's not just a statistic. It’s a statement about trust, consistency, and long-term commitment to the American economy. Why Buying Local Matters More Than Ever Global shipping delays, inflation, interest rate hikes, and uncertain international policies have all impacted the car industry in recent years. So it’s no surprise that more and more shoppers are choosing vehicles built close to home. Cars made in the U.S. are less likely to be affected by global slowdowns or sudden tariff changes. That means fewer surprise costs and shorter wait times. Honda’s large domestic footprint helps protect buyers from many of those issues. Honda's U.S. Plants: Not Just Assembly Lines—Innovation Hubs Take a peek inside Honda’s Marysville Auto Plant in Ohio and you’ll find more than just robotic arms and car frames. You’ll see cutting-edge manufacturing processes, a dedicated workforce, and a deep push into sustainable production. Honda isn’t just keeping up, they’re leading. The brand recently committed $700 million to retool U.S. plants for hybrid and EV production, gearing up to meet growing demand for electric and fuel-efficient cars right here in America. This move doesn’t just future-proof Honda, it strengthens American manufacturing and gives car buyers access to world-class innovation without looking overseas. Real Value, Real Reliability, Right Here at Home Honda has built its name on long-term value, exceptional fuel efficiency, and award-winning safety. But when you add in the benefits of local production, the value proposition gets even better. Vehicles like the CR-V, Accord, and Ridgeline, all built in the U.S., continue to earn top marks in reliability and resale value. And because they’re made closer to where they’re sold, these models are less vulnerable to the rising costs that come from international shipping and logistics. So when you see stable pricing on a U.S.-built Honda at your local dealership, you can thank domestic production for that peace of mind. In fact, Honda’s commitment to U.S. manufacturing is getting national recognition. In the 2025 Cars.com American-Made Index, Honda earned more spots in the top 20 than any other brand, proving that buying a Honda doesn’t just support local jobs, it means choosing vehicles ranked among the most American-made in the entire industry. Models like the Honda Passport, Ridgeline, Odyssey, Pilot, and Accord were all recognized in this year’s rankings, thanks to their high levels of domestic assembly, parts sourcing, and employment impact A Smarter Way to Shop in 2025 Shopping for a car this year? Don’t just look at horsepower and trim levels—look at where it was made. In 2025, buying American-made isn’t just patriotic, it’s practical. And Honda’s long-standing presence in the U.S. gives you more than a great car. It gives you a smarter purchase. From the durability of the Honda Ridgeline to the everyday reliability of the Accord, these cars are made for American drivers, by American hands. And with new investments in electrification, it’s clearer than ever that Honda is building not just for today, but for tomorrow. See What’s in Stock Near You If you’re ready to drive something that’s crafted with care, built to last, and assembled just down the road, your next Honda might already be waiting. Come see what makes Honda’s American-made vehicles a standout in the market, no matter what the headlines say.

5 Benefits of Leasing a 2025 Honda SUV

Do you have an eye on the latest iteration of a Honda Pilot, Passport, Prologue, CR-V, or other SUV? When leasing, you'll find it far easier to afford a fantastic 2025 Honda that might otherwise be out of your price range. In addition to cost savings, there are several other significant leasing benefits to consider, as explained below. Find out your personal leasing options today at your local Honda dealership. Low or No Down Payment When purchasing a car with a loan, the down payment can be considerable, typically around 20 percent of the vehicle's total value. The initial payment for a lease is a fraction of this, and sometimes there's no down payment at all; you only need to pay a deposit plus a few fees and the first monthly payment. more Reduced Monthly Costs When leasing a new SUV, the total you need to pay over the lease term is the amount by which the car depreciates while in your possession. This may be just 20 or 30 percent of the car's full value. This means your monthly costs are also going to be much lower than with a car loan. Fewer Maintenance Costs There's yet another way you can save money with a lease. As the car is new, the routine maintenance costs will usually be covered by a robust bumper-to-bumper warranty. And if you keep on leasing brand-new SUVs over the long run, the vehicle you drive will always be covered by a good warranty. Smoother Upgrades to Newer Models Leasing also simplifies the process of returning an SUV and driving away with a newer car. In two years time, if you wish to return your 2025 SUV to trade up and drive a 2027 model, you simply need to bring the car back and lease the next one. By contrast, when you own the car, you need to find a buyer and sell before upgrading to the latest model. Greater Flexibility in Your Driving Options For drivers who enjoy flexibility, leasing is often the best choice. Most leasing contracts include an option to buy when the lease term ends. So you can effectively try out the car for a year or two before deciding whether to return it or pay the remainder of its value to purchase and keep it. Discover Your Personal Leasing Benefits at Your Honda Dealership Pay us a visit to find out how much it will cost to lease your preferred Honda SUV. We have a terrific range of brand-new 2025 models available to test drive today. Visit Honda Auto Center of Bellevue in Bellevue, WA, today to get behind the wheel of a brand-new 2025 Honda SUV. We offer an excellent range of SUVs suitable for all budgets, preferences, and driving needs.

The 2025 Honda Ridgeline and the 2025 Honda Pilot are two rugged vehicles designed for adventures. One is a midsize truck, the other a full-size family SUV, but they both offer impressive capability. This guide from our Honda dealership can help you decide which one is best for you. Design and Exterior Features A standout model in its class, the 2025 Ridgeline impresses with its bold unibody design. The crew cab and 5.3-foot bed provide an outstanding balance of passenger space and truck functionality. LED exterior lights, including standard LED fog lamps, offer outstanding illumination in all driving conditions, while bed lighting and a dual-action tailgate add convenience.

Made for outdoor adventures, this SUV comes standard with LED exterior lighting, including LED fog lamps, and features a minimum ground clearance of 7.3 inches. Shark Gray 20-inch wheels offer outstanding driving dynamics on and off the road, but 18-inch wheels and greater ground clearance are available on the TrailSport trim. Engine and Handling Both the Ridgeline and the Pilot use the same 3.5L V6 engine with 280 horsepower in the truck and 285 horsepower in the SUV. In both models, the engine generates 262 pound-feet of torque, giving you the confidence to tackle all driving situations, and plenty of muscle for towing and hauling. Equipped with standard all-wheel drive, the Ridgeline can tow up to 5,000 pounds, and it comes with Class III trailering provisions. The Pilot is primarily a front-wheel drive SUV with 3,500 pounds of towing capacity, although with the optional all-wheel drive, it can tow like the Ridgeline. Trailering provisions are optional, but each trim level gets advanced drive modes with selections for towing and snow-covered roads. In the AWD configuration, all trims except for the base add Trail and Sand drive modes. The Ridgeline has standard Normal, Snow, Sand, and Mud modes. Interior and Comfort Inside, the Ridgeline offers comfortable seating for five with a 60/40 split lift-up rear seat with under-seat storage. Ten-way power adjustments and memory for the driver's seat are available on all but the base trim, and heated front seats are also available on all upper models.

The 2025 Honda Odyssey vs. the 2025 Honda Pilot: Minivan vs. SUV for Family Needs

Hondas make terrific family vehicles thanks to reliable performance, tons of practical features, and refined safety technology. When you're shopping for a new family vehicle at your local Honda dealership, your top choices for a family-oriented ride are the 2025 Honda Odyssey and the 2025 Honda Pilot. Explore each of these models to see whether a minivan or an SUV suits your lifestyle best. more Both the Odyssey and the Pilot are full-size models with three rows of comfortable seating that can seat up to eight passengers. In the Odyssey, the second-row seats can slide to make access to the third-row seats more convenient for passengers. The second row also has a multi-functional center seat. The Pilot has a 60/40 folding third-row seat and a second-row seat that can fold flat at the touch of a button. The Pilot Sport has a fixed center seat that can fold flat to make room for pass-through cargo, like hockey sticks or golf clubs. Honda Sensing Each of these Honda models is equipped with Honda Sensing technology to enhance on-road safety. For example, the Collision Mitigation Braking System keeps an eye on the front of the vehicle to alert you of a potential collision and may even intervene to hit the brakes to help you avoid an accident. Each model also has a Road Departure Mitigation System to track lane markers and alert you if you are driving off-center. Each model also comes with Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow, a system that adapts to the driving speed of the car ahead of you while maintaining a proper following distance. In bumper-to-bumper traffic, this system can resume travel speed after a complete stop to reduce driver fatigue in congested traffic. Cargo Volume The cargo volume behind the third-row seat in the base Odyssey is 32.8 cubic feet, which can expand up to 140.7 cubic feet with the rear seats folded. For the Pilot, the cargo area can hold 18.6 cubic feet of luggage or groceries, or you can fold down the second and third-row seats for a cargo space of 87 cubic feet.
