Japan is not just famous for its technology, anime, and food, among other things. There are many Japanese car brands out there, and many people - especially in the United States - love them. Japan has dominated the world car-manufacturing industry for decades now, and it seems like there's no stopping to it. What's not to love about Japanese cars, anyway? They're efficient, reliable, and full of tech features that don't break the bank that much. There are many Japanese car companies and models out there, but here are five of the best cars we picked. Check these cars out, listed in no particular order.
The 2019 Honda Odyssey is not a sedan-type, so if you're not really fond of sedan-type vehicles, then this one should be an automatic choice for you. The 2019 Honda Odyssey is one of the best-selling minivans the world over. And if you check out its stipulations, it's not hard to see why. It provides spacious and comfortable interiors as well as a more spacious area for cargos. It also runs on the V6 engine so it can run up to 286 horsepower. The best part? The 2019 Honda Oddysey is not that expensive for a minivan. For as low as $30,000, you would be able to bring a new one home.
We saved a sportscar on this list of best Japanese cars to have for 2019. Judging from its exterior, it looks like an art. But there's more to it than meets the eye with this sexy GT coupe. Lexus has never been really known as a better car manufacturer but, perhaps with the 2019 Lexus LC 500, there might be a salvation on this one. For one, it runs on a V8 engine, which can also come with a hybrid powertrain option. You can also select with its five driving modes, namely Standard, Comfort, Eco, S Sport, and S Sport+. But if you're really after the form and function, then this car could be the one for you.
Toyota, perhaps, never runs out of amazing Japanese cars to manufacture. Case in point, the Corolla. If you've been alive in the 90s (or maybe late 80s as well), you've probably have heard of the Corolla model then. And Toyota is still manufacturing this model up to this day. The 2019 Corolla is known for its reliability and comfort. For this year, they added Apple Carplay and more safety features to keep your everyday driving safer than ever. Probably the only car that can beat the 2019 Toyota Corolla's safety features is the 2020 Toyota Corolla, but that's reserved for another blog post.
Here's yet another entry from Toyota on this list. For those who are merely tired of updating themselves with the gas prices, a hybrid car like the 2019 Toyota Prius should be on top of your list. The Prius is one of the few Japanese hybrid vehicles that were sold in the United States. It's a popular one among a wide range of markets because of its cargo space, drivetrain option, and most especially for its fuel efficiency. There may be some drawbacks about this car model (smartphone integration features not so new, smaller legroom at the rear), but its advantages outweigh the negatives. And with that, it's still a go.
Just like the Toyota Corolla, there's no stopping with the Accord, a Honda car model that has been around for a really long time now. Regardless of the sea of competition in the sedan circuit, the Accord can still keep up with each one. And with the 2019 model, you would be able to choose between powerful engines. Also, the 2019 Honda Accord comes with amazing features such as cabin and cargo space and CVT automatic. Last, it has better gas mileage and even better safety features.
