BEST BRANDS: HONDA SUVs, FORD PICKUPS
U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT 2017 RANKINGS
U.S. News & World Report is out with its annual Best Vehicle Brands Awards. And since the segment that has been driving growth in 2016--and is expected to do so again in 2017--is Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs)--including Crossovers and Minivans--we'll start there.
The Best SUV Brand, according to U.S. News & World Report, is Honda. "Honda's SUVs don't have the offroad heritage of traditional SUVs from the likes of Jeep, Land Rover and Toyota, but when it comes to what today's SUV shoppers are looking for, Honda delivers. It's our 2017 Best SUV Brand," the magazine said. Honda's SUV lineup is described as one of the newest and most up-to-date of any brand, with new model introductions and redesigns happening on all models in the last few years. "It doesn't hurt that Honda has one of the most diverse SUV lineups of any brand, ranging from the subcompact HR-V (pictured) to the three-row Honda Pilot," the report stated.
Along with SUVs, the automotive market has been driven by pickups. Ford is the magazine's pick for 2017 Best Truck Brand, led by the "standout performance" of the F-150. "The F-150 is not only incredibly popular with buyers, it offers a forward-thinking design, including a lightweight aluminum frame and fuel-sipping engines, and high-tech features, like a tool tracking system, that other full-size pickup trucks can't match," according to the article.
"Consumers have an overwhelming number of factors to consider when comparing cars," said Jamie Page Deaton, managing editor of U.S. News Best Cars in announcing the 2017 picks. "The Best Vehicle Brand awards simplify the process by giving people guidance on the top brands in the categories that matter to them."
For the second year, Mazda claims the No. 1 spot for Car Brand. Mazda has won plenty of fans for the exciting performance of its lineup, the story notes, including the Mazda3, Mazda6 and MX-5 Miata. "However, Mazda cars are not only a good choice for driving enthusiasts. Our rankings and analysis show that Mazda cars get high marks for interior comfort, tech, and design," the U.S. News editors wrote.
"You might think of Porsche as a pure performance brand, but in recent years, the German automaker has expanded its Continuwedwwon.
