Meyer Honda of O'Fallon is proud to announce that the auto ranking professionals at Kelley Blue Book have named three 2013 Honda models in their “10 Best Family Cars of 2013.”

Jack Nerad, the executive market analyst and editorial director for Kelley Blue Book said “Show us 10 families and we’ll suggest a different car for each,” but he went on to explain that each vehicle on their list scores highly in desirable areas for family vehicles, including safety, comfort, roominess, and overall value, which accounts for Honda making up thirty percent of the list.

So, which models made the cut? Drivers familiar with the current Honda lineup will likely be unsurprised by the list:

· 2013 Honda Odyssey - The automaker's flagship minivan is slated to get one of the most family-friendly features available in 2014 – a vacuum – but the 2013 model has been impressing drivers since it hit the showrooms.

· 2013 Honda CR-V - The crossover market seems to be booming each year, but the original crossover is still a family favorite, offering versatility to switch from people moving to cargo hauling with ease.

· 2013 Honda Accord - Honda's flagship sedan not only brought their new definition of standard features to the world, but it did it with a sleek, aerodynamically contoured build and a comfortable interior design.

Part of the appeal of the 2013 Honda line, and these vehicles in particular, comes from Honda's push to redefine standard features. The CR-V, Accord, Odyssey, and more all come with a package of features that many automakers expect drivers to upgrade for. Honda has included amenities like Bluetooth phone and audio streaming, an infotainment system, a rearview camera, alloy wheels, and more on the entry-level LX trims for each of these vehicles.

Although the opinions of Kelley Blue Book are well-trusted in the auto industry, the experts at Meyer Honda recommend that drivers interested in one of these new Honda models visit their dealership and take it for a test drive first. In addition to these award-winning family vehicles, Meyer Honda carries the entire new vehicle lineup from the automaker as well as a range of pre-owned models.
