2025 Honda Accord and Accord Hybrid Recognized as Best Family Cars by U.S. News & World Report

The 2025 Honda Accord and Accord Hybrid have been named the Best Cars for Families by U.S. News & World Report. Learn why these models stand out in safety, space, and efficiency.

Honda has once again reaffirmed its status as a leader in the family car segment: the 2025 Honda Accord and Accord Hybrid have earned the prestigious “Best Cars for Families” award from U.S. News & World Report.

The Honda Accord was recognized as the Best Midsize Car for Families, while the Accord Hybrid took the top spot in the Best Midsize Hybrid Car for Families category. This marks the fourth win for the Accord in its segment and the second for the Accord Hybrid, reinforcing their reputation as reliable and practical choices for families.

According to Alex Kwanten, managing editor of Autos at U.S. News & World Report, both Accord models stand out with class-leading rear seat and trunk space, strong fuel economy, and an extensive suite of safety and driver assistance features—a combination that makes them an attractive option for family-oriented buyers.

Why the Accord Stands Out

The ranking methodology is based on several key factors:

• The car’s overall rating in the U.S. News Best Car Rankings
• Safety and reliability scores
• Seating and cargo space
• Availability of family-friendly features

In each category, the award is given to the vehicle with the highest composite score, ensuring that only the most well-rounded cars make the cut.

Notably, the Accord Hybrid is positioned at the top of the 11th-generation Accord lineup and represents more than 50% of its total sales. This highlights the growing consumer preference for hybrid technology, particularly among family car buyers.

The 2025 Honda Accord faces competition from strong contenders in the midsize sedan segment, including the Toyota Camry, another highly rated model in this year’s rankings. However, Honda distinguishes itself with advanced hybrid technology, providing greater fuel efficiency—a crucial advantage for modern families.

Top-Tier Safety Ratings

The 2025 Honda Accord has received a top safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and high marks from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). With consumers placing increasing importance on vehicle safety, these distinctions further enhance the Accord’s appeal as a family car.

Honda is continuing its momentum in electrified mobility. This year, the automaker is set to introduce the hybrid-powered Honda Prelude coupe, expanding its portfolio of electrified vehicles.

Once again, the Accord proves that a balance of comfort, efficiency, and safety makes it the benchmark for midsize family sedans. For families seeking a dependable car, the choice is clear—and now, officially validated by industry experts.
