Honda Accord Hybrid crowned as the 2014 greenest car by the Canadian Green Car Award

The current environmental situation is quite grave with rising pollution, expanding ozone layer breach, and the broad spectrum ill-effects of global warming. Though the thinking heads of the world are trying to find out a solution for these gigantic problems, the situation seems to be out of reach and make us think of the impending doomsday. In such a condition the car majors of the world are trying to lower the pollution levels by pushing greener cars that will burn less or no fossil fuel and release minimal or zero emissions into the atmosphere. As a result, we have an array of electric and hybrid vehicles. The governments of various nations across the world are also promoting the green cars in order to tame the situation and ensure cleaner air for the populace.

At the 2014 Green Living Show held in Toronto, the Canadian Green Car Award crowned the Honda Accord Hybrid as greenest car for the year 2014. The Honda Accord Hybrid competes with other very efficient green cars in its own category but was able to win the 2014 Canadian Green Car Award by beating its rivals that include Mazda3 2.0-litre, Mazda5, Ford C-MAX Energi, Volkswagen Jetta Turbo Hybrid and the Nissan Leaf.

The Canadian Green Car Awards gracing the occasion of the Green Living Show also honored several other vehicles with awards for being very efficient, cleaner and greener to help curb the pollution levels, while the Honda Accord Hybrid walked away with the title of the top green car for the current year.

The Honda Accord Hybrid was determined as the winner by a panel of 19 jury members all of whom are Canadian automotive journalists. The jury based their decision by closely studying various factors of the vehicles including performance, fuel economy, several “green” qualities, features, and consumer appeal.

The 2014 Top Green Car Award was handed over to the Vice President of Sales & Marketing at Honda Motor Canada, Dave Gardner by the Former mayor of Toronto and present president and Chief Executive Officer of WWF Canada, David Miller.

During the occasion, Dave Gardner said that it is an honor to have the Honda Accord Hybrid recognized and chosen by a panel of Canada’s most esteemed journalists. The Accord Hybrid is a no-compromise vehicle for the intense fuel saver, which joins the respected and highly acclaimed Accord family offering the same fun drive performance, elegant styling and premium features that are patent characteristics of any Honda Accord sedan.

The eco-friendly vehicles have become intensely important over the past few years and their popularity has grown immensely. The league was started by the gas-electric hybrid car Toyota Prius. The hybrid pioneer Toyota actually showed the way to these great efficient cars, and resulted into the present all important fuel economical criteria for the global auto majors.

The 2014 Canadian Green Car Award is in its second edition, which presented the top honor to Ford Fusion Hybrid in 2013.
