The 2016 North American Car of the Year Award has been presented to the 2016 Honda Civic, making this the second time that a Honda vehicle has received this award since it first began back in 1994. Each year, a group of 53 international automotive journalists from the U.S. and Canada select the winner after an extensive evaluation of all the available models. During this evaluation they take key factors into consideration including driver satisfaction, innovation, value, design, handling, and safety performance.

For the 2016 model, the Civic has been completely redesigned from the inside out and is equipped with a Honda turbo engine, and Honda Sensing™ safety and driver-assistive technologies. This model is also the first compact car in the world to be equipped with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™.  

“The all-new Civic was developed and is built in North America, making this North American Car of the Year win even sweeter,” said Jeff Conrad, Honda Division senior vice president and general manager. “Civic is a cornerstone of the Honda lineup, and we’re delighted that the automotive press has recognized the new levels of styling, performance, advanced technology, safety and value that characterize the new Civic.”
