Accolade after accolade: KBB names most-awarded cars, brands for 2019

Winning an auto award is one thing. Winning time after time is another and suggests that vehicle, or brand, is seriously worth considering.

Pricing and research site Kelley Blue Book is continually assessing the latest models and, as a result, has arrived at its most-awarded cars and car companies for 2019.

The “best of the best” vehicles have racked up multiple accolades across categories including best buy, 10 best, 5-year cost to own, resale value and more. As such, they include a mix of car, SUV, minivan and truck options that could help you start or streamline your shopping list. All are 2019 models.

Honda is recognized for a number of versatile vehicles with its Civic sedan, CR-V compact utility, Odyssey minivan and midsize Accord dominating. Not surprisingly, it also performs well in the brand awards.
