2014 Accord

The Honda 2014 model that attracts huge attention is the 2014 Honda Accord. If you are an Accord fan and you also want a car that can run on electricity alone, then this model is the best of both worlds.

The price is $40,570 and the initial sales are limited to New York and California. Depending on your performance needs, you are able to drive in fuel-only, hybrid or electric-only modes.

2014 Odyssey

The 2014 Honda Odyssey gets an amazing exterior and interior update. With the latest infotainment features, a lot of design and tech savvy features, the latest Honda 2014 Odyssey is fully with the times. The 3.5 liter V6 has not changed; it produces 247 hp and 250 pound feet of torque, hooked up to a 5- or 6- speed automatic transmission. Simply put, this model performs like a car with confident passing and acceleration, as well as enough power to take on all kinds of mountain roads with full load. Inside, the 2014 Odyssey is amazingly quiet with a smooth ride. The active engine mounts and noise cancellation quell the vibrations from the excess road noise.

2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee – Raw Power in a Good Looking Shell

Jeep is a brand of cars acquired by Chrysler Corporation in 1987 and they are known because of their expertise in making off-road vehicles. Sure, some of you probably know that they made pickup trucks in the past, but their line of vehicles has now been complemented with sport utility vehicles instead. Either way, their most popular line is still the Grand Cherokee, and although they aren’t a company that likes to change things quite so often, the new model has a bunch of improvements.

2013 Nissan NV – Van that Rises to Every Occasion

I believe that Nissan’s mission as automotive manufacturer is to associate the word van with Nissan NV, especially since they have made a vehicle that is a synonym for commercial vehicle. They have designed the vehicle in cooperation with the business owners and the drivers of the vans. They have listened and incorporated all of the positive aspects that were integrated in the previous versions of Nissan vans and have improved or replaced the things that weren’t at their top level. 2013 Nissan NV series is a result of meticulous and diligent research and groundbreaking engineering solutions. The flexibility of the cargo room and the interior approach are the two reasons why a person would buy a van. In this NV series, Nissan has proven that they are A+ automotive masters once again.

The brands like Land Rover, Hummer and Jeep have a rich military background and they have proven to be able to come out with vehicles that can tackle just about any type of terrain, from jungles to deserts.
