Honda has officially confirmed that a third-generation Ridgeline is in development, and the first detail the company wants truck shoppers to know is pretty clear: the next Honda Ridgeline is getting more rugged. The new midsize pickup is expected to come to market within the next two years, with Honda promising a more rugged design and capabilities while continuing the ideas that have defined the Ridgeline for the past two decades. Here at D'ELLA Honda of Glens Falls, that gives us plenty to watch as Honda develops the next chapter of its pickup. We're still early in the process, so Honda hasn't released powertrain specifications, trims, pricing or a final debut date. In the meantime, drivers around Queensbury and Glens Falls can explore our current New Honda Inventory and see today's Ridgeline while we wait to learn what's next. The Third-Generation Honda Ridgeline Is Officially in Development This isn't a concept or rumor. Honda has confirmed that its third-generation Ridgeline is on the way. The new truck is being designed at Honda's Southern California styling studio and engineered at the Honda Auto Development Center in Ohio. Once production begins, the next Ridgeline will continue to be built exclusively at the Honda Alabama Auto Plant alongside vehicles including the Passport, Pilot and Odyssey. Honda hasn't shown us the finished truck yet, but it has specifically said the new generation will feature an even more rugged design and capabilities. That's an interesting direction for a truck that has spent two decades doing things somewhat differently from the rest of the midsize pickup segment. Honda Isn't Trying to Turn the Ridgeline Into Every Other Truck Honda describes the Ridgeline's history as one focused on the features and capabilities recreational truck owners actually use. Since the original Ridgeline arrived, the model has approached the pickup differently from more traditional trucks. Honda's announcement suggests that the third generation will continue developing that formula rather than abandoning it, while pushing its appearance and capability farther in a rugged direction. Exactly what that means remains to be seen. Honda hasn't announced towing figures, powertrain details, dimensions or specific new equipment, and we'd rather wait for those details than guess. For shoppers who already know a pickup fits their life, our Honda Model Showroom is also a useful place to compare the Ridgeline with the SUVs and other Honda models currently available at D'ELLA Honda of Glens Falls. A More Rugged Ridgeline Makes a Lot of Sense Around Queensbury We're particularly interested to see what Honda means by additional rugged capability because of where we sell these trucks. A midsize pickup around Queensbury, Glens Falls and the southern Adirondacks can have a pretty varied job description. It might spend Monday through Friday commuting around Warren County, then carry bikes, camping equipment, home-project supplies or outdoor gear when the weekend arrives. Lake George is right up the road. Trailheads aren't difficult to find. Neither are snow, dirt roads or projects that suddenly require a pickup bed. The Ridgeline has historically occupied an interesting space for drivers who want the usefulness of a truck without choosing something solely around maximum-duty work. A more rugged third generation could make that combination even more interesting for local drivers. What Happens to the Current 2026 Honda Ridgeline? There's one other important part of Honda's announcement. Production of the current 2026 Honda Ridgeline will pause later in 2026 as Honda prepares for the next-generation model. That doesn't mean the third-generation Ridgeline is arriving immediately. Honda has only said the new truck is expected to reach the market within two years, so there may be a considerable gap between the production pause and the new model's eventual arrival. If you're shopping now rather than waiting for a future truck, you can browse our New Honda Inventory to see current availability at D'ELLA Honda of Glens Falls. Our team can also help you Value Your Trade if you're considering moving from your current vehicle into a Ridgeline or another Honda. We'll Be Watching for the Next Honda Ridgeline at D'ELLA Honda of Glens Falls For now, Honda has given us the outline rather than the entire truck. We know a third-generation Honda Ridgeline is coming within two years. We know Honda is giving it a more rugged design and capabilities. We know development is underway in California and Ohio, and that production will remain in Alabama. What we don't have yet are the details that will ultimately tell us how different this Ridgeline will be. We'll be watching as Honda releases more.

What does a good value look like when you're buying a new vehicle in 2026? Apparently, there isn't just one answer. Cars.com recently named three Honda models as Top Finishers in its 2026 Best Value New Cars awards: the 2026 Honda CR-V LX in the Compact SUV category, 2026 Honda Passport RTL in the Mid-Size SUV category, and 2026 Honda Ridgeline Sport in the Mid-Size Pickup Truck category. That's a compact SUV, a larger adventure-ready SUV, and a pickup truck earning recognition under the same affordability study. For shoppers at D'ELLA Honda of Glens Falls, it also means you can start with what you actually need from your next vehicle instead of choosing between practicality and value. Browse our New Honda Inventory to compare your options, check our current New Vehicle Specials, or Value Your Trade before visiting us in Queensbury. Cars.com Looked at More Than the Sticker Price A lower starting price helps, but Cars.com's Best Value New Cars methodology goes further. Eligible vehicles are recommended by the Cars.com editorial team and equipped with a collection of features the publication considers must-haves. Those include an automatic transmission, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, blind spot monitoring, forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection, brake assist, and lane departure warning. Cars.com also considers median and starting vehicle prices, including destination fees, along with EPA fuel-economy ratings and estimated fuel costs. 2026 Honda CR-V LX: Value in the SUV Sweet Spot For plenty of drivers around Queensbury and Glens Falls, the CR-V is probably the easiest of the three to picture in everyday life. The 2026 Honda CR-V LX was named a Top Finisher for Best Value Compact SUV. Its MSRP of $30,920 sits well below the $46,303 average new-vehicle transaction price in America cited by Honda from J.D. Power data. Its compact-SUV format also lands in a useful middle ground. You get the passenger and cargo versatility people want from an SUV without automatically moving into the size and expense of a larger three-row vehicle. Efficiency is another part of the equation, and Honda continues to offer the CR-V with both gasoline and hybrid powertrains. Honda was also recently identified in the EPA Automotive Trends Report as the full-line automaker with the highest fleet average fuel economy among automakers producing a complete lineup of gasoline-powered and electrified vehicles in America. If fuel economy is high on your shopping list, you can compare available Honda CR-V and CR-V Hybrid models in our New Honda Inventory. 2026 Honda Passport RTL: When You Need More SUV Maybe compact isn't what you need. The all-new 2026 Honda Passport RTL earned Top Finisher recognition in Cars.com's Best Value Mid-Size SUV category. Passport gives shoppers another direction to go within the Honda SUV lineup, particularly when additional size and capability are priorities. It's also where this trio becomes more useful than a generic “affordable cars” list. Someone shopping for a Passport probably isn't cross-shopping it with the CR-V simply because one costs less. If your weekends regularly involve more gear, more adventurous destinations, or the kind of Upstate New York plans that don't end when the pavement does, the larger Passport may be worth the additional room in the budget. Browse our available Honda Passport Inventory or see whether any current Honda Specials line up with the model and trim you're considering. 2026 Honda Ridgeline Sport: The Pickup Made the List, Too Then there's the 2026 Honda Ridgeline Sport, a Top Finisher for Best Value Mid-Size Pickup Truck.More importantly, choosing the truck doesn't mean stepping outside the same Cars.com criteria applied elsewhere. Ridgeline had to combine its pricing with the required technology and safety equipment considered in the Best Value evaluation. For someone who actually needs a truck bed for home projects, outdoor equipment, or weekend plans around the Adirondacks but doesn't need a traditional full-size pickup, that gives the Ridgeline a very different job than either Honda SUV above. Explore our New Honda Ridgeline Inventory to see what's currently available at D'ELLA Honda of Glens Falls. Three Winners, Three Very Different Shopping Lists The useful thing about Honda putting three vehicles on this list is that you don't have to force yourself into one kind of vehicle to shop with value in mind. Need the everyday flexibility of a compact SUV? Start with CR-V. Want a larger SUV with more room and capability? Passport earned its own spot. Actually need a pickup? Ridgeline Sport made the list, too. And because Cars.com considers pricing, fuel economy and estimated fuel costs alongside a defined set of safety and connectivity features, each one had to bring more to the evaluation than an attractive starting MSRP. Compare the CR-V, Passport, and Ridgeline at D'ELLA Honda of Glens Falls The 2026 Honda CR-V LX, Passport RTL, and Ridgeline Sport all earned Top Finisher recognition in Cars.com's Best Value New Cars awards, giving three very different kinds of Honda shoppers another reason to put these models on their lists. Visit D'ELLA Honda of Glens Falls at 313 Quaker Rd. in Queensbury, NY to explore the Honda lineup in person. You can also browse our New Honda Inventory, compare current Honda Specials, Value Your Trade, or get started with our online financing resources before your visit.

It's easy to assume the safest vehicle in a lineup is also the most expensive. Honda's latest IIHS results tell a different story. Four 2026 Honda models earned Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick+ ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), and three of them are among Honda's most affordable vehicles. The Honda Civic Hatchback, Honda HR-V, and Honda Accord all start under $30,000, showing that advanced safety isn't reserved for flagship SUVs or luxury price tags. For drivers throughout Queensbury, Glens Falls, Lake George, and the surrounding Adirondack region, it's another example of Honda's long-standing commitment to making safety accessible across its lineup. Which Honda Models Earned Top IIHS Safety Ratings? Honda earned four IIHS safety awards for the 2026 model year: 2026 Honda Passport – TOP SAFETY PICK+ 2026 Honda HR-V – TOP SAFETY PICK+ 2026 Honda Civic Hatchback – TOP SAFETY PICK 2026 Honda Accord – TOP SAFETY PICK While every award is impressive, what stands out is where those vehicles sit within the lineup. The HR-V, Civic Hatchback, and Accord aren't niche models or premium trims. They're some of the vehicles drivers shop most often because they combine everyday practicality with long-term value. Now they also carry some of Honda's highest safety recognitions. These Awards Are Harder to Earn Than They Used to Be IIHS doesn't hand out Top Safety Pick awards simply because a vehicle performed well once. Its crash tests continue to evolve, becoming more demanding as vehicle technology improves. For 2026, Honda's award-winning models earned top GOOD ratings in the small overlap front crash test, the updated moderate overlap front crash test, and the updated side crash test, which now delivers 82% more crash energy than the previous version. That's important because it means today's safety awards represent performance against tougher standards than in years past. Safety Starts Before a Crash Ever Happens Crash protection is only part of the equation. Every new Honda comes equipped with Honda Sensing®, a suite of driver-assistive technologies designed to help drivers recognize potential hazards before they become collisions. Features such as Collision Mitigation Braking System™ with Pedestrian Detection, Forward Collision Warning, Lane Keeping Assist System, Road Departure Mitigation, and Adaptive Cruise Control all come standard. These systems aren't there to replace attentive driving. They're designed to provide another layer of awareness during busy commutes, long highway drives, and everyday traffic. Honda Has Been Building Safety Into Every Model Honda's approach to safety goes well beyond electronic driver assistance. The Civic Hatchback, Accord, HR-V, and Passport all feature Honda's Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure, which is engineered to help distribute crash energy during a collision. Advanced airbag systems, front seatbelt pretensioners, and other occupant protection technologies work together to help protect passengers in a wide range of crash scenarios. Honda has also installed Honda Sensing® in more than 10 million vehicles across the United States since introducing the technology in 2014, reflecting the company's long-term investment in making advanced safety available to more drivers. Affordability and Safety Don't Have to Compete For years, shoppers often had to choose between staying within budget and getting the latest safety technology. Honda's newest IIHS results suggest those priorities no longer have to compete. When three of the brand's most affordable models also rank among its safest, it becomes clear that safety isn't treated as an upgrade reserved for higher price tags. Instead, it's built into the vehicles many drivers already have on their shopping list. Four More Reasons to Take a Closer Look at Honda Whether you're considering the versatile HR-V, the refined Accord, the sporty Civic Hatchback, or the adventure-ready Passport, Honda's latest IIHS awards reinforce something the brand has worked toward for decades: making advanced safety part of the everyday driving experience. The team at D'ELLA Honda of Glens Falls, located at 313 Quaker Road in Queensbury, NY, is happy to help you explore these award-winning Honda models and answer any questions about the safety technologies that come standard across the lineup. Some safety awards recognize engineering. These four awards recognize something even more meaningful: Honda's decision to make that engineering available in vehicles more drivers can actually afford.

The Honda Passport has always made sense on paper. But the redesigned 2026 Honda Passport feels different because Honda finally leaned fully into what people seemed to want from it in the first place: a tougher-looking, more capable SUV that still works comfortably for everyday driving. That shift is part of why Autotrader recently named the all-new Passport one of its “Best New Cars of 2026,” specifically highlighting its rugged redesign, spacious interior, V6 power, and balance between off-road capability and on-road comfort. Around Queensbury, Lake George, Saratoga, and the Adirondack region, that combination makes a lot of sense. Why the 2026 Honda Passport TrailSport Looks More Rugged Without Feeling Overbuilt Some SUVs try so hard to look rugged that they stop feeling usable day to day. Honda’s new Passport SUV avoids that. The redesigned body is boxier, more upright, and noticeably tougher-looking than previous generations, especially in the TrailSport trim, but it still feels clean and manageable instead of oversized or exaggerated. Autotrader editors specifically pointed to this redesign as one of the biggest reasons the Passport suddenly stands out more in a crowded SUV segment. The vehicle finally feels visually aligned with the capability Honda built into it. How the 2026 Honda Passport Uses i-VTM4 AWD and Steel Skid Plates for Real Off-Road Capability Honda also backed up the redesign with actual hardware. The new Passport TrailSport includes standard torque-vectoring i-VTM4® all-wheel drive, off-road tuned suspension components, steel skid plates, heavy-duty recovery points, and specially engineered all-terrain tires. That matters because many SUVs lean heavily on styling without offering much genuine capability underneath. The Passport feels intentionally designed for drivers who actually head toward trails, campsites, snow-covered roads, or mountain drives instead of simply wanting the appearance of adventure. Why the 2026 Honda Passport Works Around Queensbury and Everyday Traffic This is where the Passport separates itself from some larger or more aggressive SUVs. Even with the rugged redesign, the Passport still feels refined and comfortable during normal driving. Autotrader editors specifically mentioned how spacious, practical, and easy to live with the interior feels, especially for daily use. That balance matters for drivers around Queensbury and the Capital Region who may spend one weekend heading toward hiking trails or skiing areas and the next commuting through traffic or running errands around town. What Makes the Interior of the 2026 Honda Passport More Useful for Camping, Gear, and Daily Life The interior redesign plays a large role in why people are responding so positively to the new Passport. The cabin feels more durable, configurable, and intentionally practical without losing refinement. There’s a strong sense that Honda designed it around how people actually use SUVs, carrying gear, loading up for road trips, packing for camping weekends, or simply managing everyday family life. Autotrader editor Matt Degen even mentioned that if he were planning a car camping trip, the Passport would be one of his first choices. That kind of practicality tends to matter more long-term than flashy design trends. Why the 2026 Honda Passport TrailSport Elite Adds More Than Just Luxury Features The new TrailSport Elite trim adds another layer to the Passport lineup. In addition to the off-road capability already built into the TrailSport, the Elite version includes features like perforated leather seating, a 12-speaker Bose premium audio system, and the new TrailWatch™ camera system. It creates an SUV that still feels adventure-focused while offering the kind of comfort and technology many drivers want during long trips or everyday commuting. Why Autotrader Named the 2026 Honda Passport One of the Best New Cars of the Year The award itself makes more sense once you look at the full redesign. Autotrader’s editors praised the Passport for finally standing out visually while still keeping the practicality, V6 power, spaciousness, and drivability people already appreciated about previous versions. Instead of turning the Passport into something completely different, Honda sharpened its identity into something more intentional. That seems to be exactly what buyers were waiting for. If you’re exploring SUVs with stronger capability and everyday comfort, it’s also worth checking current Honda Passport inventory, financing options, and SUV specials at D'ELLA Honda while availability continues to grow. Where to Explore the 2026 Honda Passport Near Queensbury, NY You can learn more about the 2026 Honda Passport and Passport TrailSport at D'ELLA Honda. You can also explore current Honda SUV inventory, financing or trade-in options, and available Honda specials while comparing trims and capability features. The redesigned Passport feels like Honda finally committed fully to the idea of building a rugged SUV that still works comfortably every single day.

Gas prices go up and down, but your daily driving doesn’t really change. You’re still commuting, running errands, heading through Glens Falls, or making longer drives out toward Saratoga or Albany. Over time, fuel efficiency stops being a spec and starts being something you feel every week. That’s where Honda stands out. According to the latest U.S. EPA Automotive Trends Report, Honda ranked as the most fuel-efficient full-line automaker in America, meaning it outperformed every other brand that offers both gas and electrified vehicles across its entire lineup. What Does It Actually Mean That Honda Ranked #1 in Fuel Efficiency? This isn’t about one standout model. Honda’s entire lineup averaged 31.0 miles per gallon, which is 3.8 mpg higher than the industry average for full-line automakers. That difference might not seem huge at first, but it adds up quickly when you’re driving every day. Over the course of a year, it can mean fewer stops, lower overall fuel costs, and less thought about when you need to fill up next. It’s also a “real-world” number, not just an ideal scenario, which makes it more relevant to how people actually drive around Queensbury and the surrounding area. Why Does Honda Keep Leading in Fuel Efficiency Year After Year? Honda has been near the top of EPA fuel efficiency rankings for decades, going back to when the original Civic first stood out in the 1970s. What’s changed is how they’ve built that into the full lineup. Instead of focusing only on small cars or hybrid-only models, Honda has made efficiency part of everything they offer. That includes SUVs, sedans, and hybrid options, so you’re not forced into a specific type of vehicle just to get better fuel economy. Which Honda Models Help Drive That Fuel Efficiency Ranking? This is where it becomes more practical. Hybrid versions of popular models like the Honda CR-V, Accord, and Civic have been driving a lot of that efficiency, with Honda setting a record for electrified vehicle sales in 2025. But even the gas-powered models are built with efficiency in mind, which is why the brand performs well across the board instead of relying on just a few vehicles. That gives you more flexibility when you’re choosing what actually fits your day-to-day driving. Does Better Fuel Efficiency Mean Paying More Up Front? This is where a lot of people expect a trade-off. Honda has kept its average transaction price around $35,000, which is significantly lower than the industry average by about $10,000. So you’re not necessarily paying more to save on fuel. You’re often starting from a lower price point while still getting better efficiency. That balance is a big part of why Honda continues to stand out in reports like this. Why This Matters for Driving Around Queensbury and Glens Falls Fuel efficiency doesn’t feel like a big deal until you’re living with it. It shows up when you’re making regular drives through town, commuting to work, or heading out for the weekend and realizing you’re not stopping for gas as often as you used to. Around Queensbury, where driving tends to be a mix of local roads and longer stretches, that consistency becomes more noticeable over time. It’s not about changing how you drive. It’s about the vehicle fitting into what you’re already doing. Where Can You Explore Fuel-Efficient Honda Models Near Queensbury, NY? You can take a closer look at Honda’s lineup at D'ELLA Honda of Glens Falls. If you’re already thinking about lowering fuel costs or comparing hybrid and gas options, it’s also worth checking current Honda specials and financing offers at D’ELLA Honda while you’re researching. Seeing how efficiency, pricing, and available models line up tends to make the decision clearer pretty quickly.

Every year, Car and Driver releases its 10Best list, and the same question comes up: how is the Honda Accord still here? Not just once or twice. Forty times. At some point, it stops feeling like a coincidence and starts feeling like something worth paying attention to, especially if you’re not someone who spends time thinking about cars in the first place. What makes the 2026 Honda Accord feel better than you expect once you actually drive it? On paper, the Accord sounds straightforward. You’ve got a 192-horsepower turbo engine or a 204-horsepower hybrid setup, both designed to be efficient, reliable, and easy to live with. But what Car and Driver keeps pointing out is how the Accord feels once you’re behind the wheel. Everything works together in a way that’s hard to explain until you experience it. The ride is smooth enough that long drives don’t feel draining, especially for passengers in the back seat. At the same time, the steering feels precise, the brakes respond confidently, and the car stays composed even when the road starts to curve. It’s not trying to be a sports car, but it ends up feeling more engaging than most cars in its category anyway. That balance is what keeps it on the 10Best list year after year. Is the 2026 Honda Accord actually comfortable enough for everyday life, or just “good on paper”? This is where the Accord quietly wins people over. The interior is designed in a way that just makes sense. Controls are where you expect them to be, the layout is clean without feeling empty, and everything feels solid without trying too hard to look expensive. There’s real space, especially in the rear seat where three adults can sit comfortably without feeling cramped. That matters more than people think, especially if your car ends up being used for everything from daily commutes to road trips to last-minute plans. Why does the Honda Accord keep winning Car and Driver’s 10Best when there are flashier options? A lot of vehicles are designed to impress you during a test drive, but the Accord is built for the part that comes after. It’s for the months and years where you just want something that feels right every time you get in. Car and Driver evaluates more than 400 vehicles every year, and the ones that make the 10Best list are the ones that deliver on driving experience, comfort, value, and usability all at once. The Accord keeps checking all of those boxes without leaning too far in any one direction. Is the 2026 Honda Accord worth it if you’re not trying to impress anyone? If you’re not chasing attention, not trying to overthink specs, and just want something that feels solid, comfortable, and easy to trust, the Accord tends to rise to the top pretty quickly. It’s one of those cars that people recommend usually after owning one themselves, because it consistently delivers in ways that are hard to capture in a headline but easy to appreciate in real life. See why the 2026 Honda Accord keeps winning at D'ELLA Honda If you’ve been looking for something practical but don’t want it to feel boring, the brand new Accord is worth experiencing in person. You can explore current inventory, compare trims, and check out available offers to see what fits your day-to-day life. Getting pre-approved online is also a simple way to streamline the process before you visit. And once you take it for a drive, it usually becomes clear why this car keeps showing up on “best of” lists without needing to shout about it.

For many buyers, “Certified Pre-Owned” may sound like a marketing label, just a way to justify a slightly higher price. In reality, it represents a rigorous inspection, manufacturer-backed warranty, and transparent vehicle history that protects your time, your money, and your peace of mind. Skipping certification can lead to costly surprises. Honda Certified Pre-Owned sets a baseline you can trust. What “Certified” Really Means A Honda Certified Pre-Owned vehicle isn’t just “used and checked over.” Every vehicle undergoes a comprehensive inspection according to Honda’s manufacturer standards and comes with a limited warranty. This warranty changes the entire ownership equation: instead of hoping nothing goes wrong, you know exactly what happens if it does. At D’ELLA Honda of Glens Falls, certification isn’t a marketing term, it’s a standard the vehicle must earn. The Power of the Inspection Report Most used car listings show only what the seller wants you to see. Honda Certified Pre-Owned listings include a detailed, downloadable inspection report available before your test drive. This transparency lets you understand the vehicle’s condition, compare options honestly, and avoid surprises that often emerge after emotional commitment. Certification Is About Avoiding Regret The true benefit of Honda Certified Pre-Owned isn’t necessarily saving the absolute most money, it’s reducing uncertainty. It’s for buyers who value reliability, transparency, and a predictable ownership experience. If you plan to keep your vehicle for the long term, Honda Certified Pre-Owned is the purchase decision that protects your future self.

Some vehicles are inexpensive. Others are genuinely worth what you pay for them. The difference shows up years later, long after the excitement of a new purchase fades and real ownership begins. That’s exactly why the 2025 Honda Civic, Accord, Passport, and Odyssey earning U.S. News & World Report “Best Car for the Money” awards matters to drivers who think long-term. What “Best for the Money” Really Signals U.S. News & World Report doesn’t hand out these awards lightly. Their rankings balance quality and value by looking at real-world ownership factors like safety ratings, reliability, expert evaluations, long-term ownership costs, and the average price buyers actually pay. When four Honda models rise to the top across completely different segments, it points to a brand that consistently delivers return on investment rather than short-term appeal. This recognition isn’t about flash or trends. It’s about vehicles that hold their value, cost less to own, and keep performing as promised. Four Wins Across Four Very Different Lifestyles The 2025 Honda Civic took top honors as Best Compact Car for the Money, offering efficiency, smart design, and proven reliability for daily commuters and first-time buyers. The 2025 Honda Accord earned Best Midsize Car for the Money by pairing comfort, safety, and refinement with ownership costs that stay reasonable over time. For drivers who want space without excess, the 2025 Honda Passport was named Best 2-Row SUV for the Money, blending capability and comfort without forcing you into a larger footprint than you actually need. And for families who measure value in years rather than months, the 2025 Honda Odyssey continued its streak as Best Minivan for the Money, marking its fifth consecutive win in the category thanks to durability, safety, and everyday usability. Different vehicles, different needs, the same underlying promise. Why Smart Buyers Keep Coming Back to Honda Drivers willing to invest in a vehicle expect it to reward that decision over time. Honda’s repeated success reflects low ownership costs, strong safety performance, excellent fuel efficiency, and models that don’t demand constant attention or expensive fixes down the road. That consistency matters when you’re buying with your future in mind. It’s the kind of value that shows up in fewer repairs, stronger resale value, and confidence every time you get behind the wheel. Where That Value Becomes Personal At D'ELLA Honda of Glens Falls, we work with drivers who understand that the best purchase is rarely the cheapest one. It’s the one that keeps delivering year after year. These awards reinforce what many Honda owners already know: when you invest wisely, your vehicle pays you back in reliability, safety, and peace of mind.

Electric vehicles are everywhere, but many drivers still feel like something is missing. Too heavy. Too complicated. Too disconnected. Honda agrees, and instead of tweaking the formula, the brand decided to start over completely. Enter the Honda 0 Series. Unveiled at CES 2025, the Honda 0 Series represents a bold reset for electric mobility, built around a simple but powerful idea: Thin, Light, and Wise. With production models expected to arrive in 2026, the Honda 0 Series is not just a new lineup. It is Honda returning to its starting point to rethink what driving should feel like in the EV era. At D’ELLA Honda of Glens Falls, we are watching this future take shape closely, because this is the kind of innovation that changes expectations. Why Honda Is Rewriting the EV Playbook Most electric vehicles today follow the same pattern: large batteries, heavy platforms, and technology that often feels more overwhelming than empowering. Honda took a different path with the 0 Series by asking a fundamental question: how can EVs deliver joy and freedom of mobility again? The answer is Thin, Light, and Wise. This approach challenges the idea that EVs must be bulky and complex. Instead, Honda is developing a dedicated EV platform that lowers vehicle height, improves aerodynamics, reduces weight, and prioritizes efficiency and driving engagement. The result is an EV designed to feel intuitive, responsive, and genuinely enjoyable. Thin: Design That Feels Purposeful, Not Excessive The “Thin” philosophy starts with proportion. By using a slim EV platform and lowering the floor height, Honda unlocks new design possibilities that improve visibility, aerodynamics, and interior space. The result is a futuristic silhouette that looks different for a reason, not just for attention. This approach allows the Honda 0 Series to feel lighter visually and physically, while improving efficiency and performance. It is design that supports function, not design that competes with it. Light: Reclaiming the Joy of Driving Honda has always been known for vehicles that feel connected to the driver, and the 0 Series brings that philosophy into the electric age. Through weight reduction, optimized battery packaging, and Honda-developed electric technologies, the 0 Series aims to deliver sporty, responsive driving that defies what many people expect from EVs. The goal is simple: make the car feel like an extension of the driver again. For the saloon concept, Honda is introducing steer-by-wire technology and advanced motion management systems that allow for precise control and a sense of oneness between driver and vehicle. This is not about speed for bragging rights. It is about confidence, control, and enjoyment behind the wheel. Wise: Technology That Learns You, Not the Other Way Around The “Wise” part of the Honda 0 Series is where intelligence meets humanity. These vehicles are being developed as software-defined mobility products, meaning they learn and adapt over time. Using AI, connected technologies, and driver monitoring systems, the Honda 0 Series will be able to recognize preferences, driving habits, and behaviors. The vehicle can then make thoughtful suggestions, streamline interactions, and reduce friction in everyday use. The goal is a stress-free experience where technology fades into the background and supports what you want to do, when you want to do it. Safety, Efficiency, and the Long View Honda is also setting new expectations for safety and sustainability. Future Honda 0 Series models will feature next-generation ADAS and automated driving technologies designed to feel more human-like in their decision-making. Hands-off driving capability will expand, while driver monitoring ensures peace of mind. On the efficiency side, Honda is targeting outstanding electric performance with smaller battery capacities, fast charging times of approximately 10 to 15 minutes from 15% to 80%, and long-term battery health. Honda aims to limit battery degradation to less than 10% after 10 years of use, addressing one of the biggest concerns EV drivers have today. This is innovation designed for real ownership, not short-term headlines. What This Means for Drivers in 2026 and Beyond The Honda 0 Series is for drivers who want the future to feel exciting again.

When you get behind the wheel, your eyes, hands, and instincts do most of the work. But what if your car could be a second set of eyes, helping you react faster, stay centered, and avoid the unexpected? That’s exactly what Honda Sensing is designed to do. This exclusive suite of intelligent safety and driver-assistive technologies is now standard across the Honda lineup, giving you more confidence on every drive. Smarter Safety, Built-In Honda Sensing is all about helping you catch the little things you might miss.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) maintains a set following distance between you and the car ahead, while the Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) makes subtle steering adjustments to help keep you centered in your lane. Add Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR), which uses a camera to identify posted speed limits, and you’ll always feel more in control. Advanced Assistance When You Need It Some models take Honda Sensing even further with available driver-assistive technologies. The Blind Spot Information System alerts you when another vehicle is hiding just out of view. The Cross Traffic Monitor warns you of approaching cars while reversing.
