Power comes from a 3.5-liter V6 producing 285 horsepower, mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission and torque-vectoring all-wheel drive.

Honda has consistently built a reputation for producing engines and transmissions that can reach 200,000 miles or more when properly maintained. Models like the Accord, Civic and the CR-V are frequently cited for this balance of longevity and low operating costs.
