Lawrence is the 18th-largest city in Indiana, with a population of 49,370 as of 2020, and it is one of only four cities that kept its own municipal government when Indianapolis consolidated under Unigov. It sits north-northeast of our Shadeland Avenue store, close enough that most of the drive is Pendleton Pike or a short stretch of Interstate 465.
Of the roads leading out of the city, Shadeland Avenue is one of the closest places to shop for a new Honda.
Two routes cover most of the city, which spans ZIP codes 46226 and 46216. From central Lawrence and the Fort Harrison area, Interstate 465 south to the 56th Street or Shadeland exits is the quickest run. From the eastern and southern neighborhoods, Pendleton Pike southwest brings you almost to our door without touching the interstate.
Neither route crosses the city or loops around the north side, which is the practical advantage of shopping east rather than in Castleton or Carmel.
We carry the current Honda lineup. The sedans are the Civic and the Accord. The SUV range covers the HR-V, CR-V, Passport and Pilot. The rest of the lineup is the Odyssey minivan, the Ridgeline pickup, the Prologue electric SUV and the Prelude.
Honda Sensing is standard on every trim of every model: the base trim carries the same suite as the top one, including collision mitigation braking, road departure mitigation, adaptive cruise control with low-speed follow, lane keeping assist and traffic jam assist.
Blind spot monitoring is separate equipment: it is not part of Honda Sensing and usually starts one trim above the base, so check it against your list before settling on an entry trim.
All-wheel drive is only offered on the SUVs: the CR-V, HR-V, Passport and Pilot. No Civic or Accord is built with it.

The city grew up around Fort Benjamin Harrison, an Army post from 1906 until it closed in 1991. Most of that land is now “The Fort,” carrying studios, technology and financial offices, restaurants and housing, with Fort Harrison State Park on 1,700 acres of it. What that leaves is a market of commuters, federal and office workers, and families in the 9th-largest school district in the state, and it points at a few vehicles fairly directly.
The hybrid powertrains earn their premium in stop-and-go driving, because they are rated highest in the city rather than on the highway. A hybrid CR-V returns 43 mpg in the city against 36 on the highway, and the Accord hybrid follows the same pattern.
The Pilot and Odyssey are the three-row answers, and the CR-V is the two-row one. All three carry the same standard safety suite regardless of trim.
The Ridgeline and the Passport are the ones built for gear and a boat ramp, and ground clearance on an all-wheel-drive CR-V is 8.2 inches against 7.8 on the front-drive version.
Snowfall here is modest on paper and unpredictable in practice: 25.5 inches in an average Central Indiana year against a national figure near 28, but 5.7 inches in 2023 and 31.6 in 2025. All-wheel drive is insurance against the second kind of winter rather than a requirement for the first.
If one of those is the shape you need, schedule a test drive and we will have it ready when you arrive.
Certified pre-owned is a Honda program, not a dealer badge, and the coverage differs sharply by tier. The top HondaTrue tier carries 7 years or 100,000 miles of powertrain coverage; the entry tier is a 100-day term. Every one of them includes a manufacturer inspection with a downloadable report and a vehicle history report.
Which tier a car qualifies for is the question to ask us. The full terms sit on the certified Honda program page, and used inventory is searchable online.
Service and parts open two hours before our showroom does. That is the useful detail if your morning runs toward the city or out to the office parks at The Fort, because a car can go in on the way to work rather than on a day off. Current times sit on the hours and directions page.
Winter is the part worth booking ahead for. Pendleton Pike is a US route and Interstate 465 an interstate, and Indiana’s transportation department runs a plow-and-salt pass on every one of them every 2 to 3 hours until the pavement clears. What that salt reaches is underneath the car, on brake lines, fuel lines and exhaust components, where nothing shows until something fails. An undercarriage wash through the salting months and an underbody look in the spring are cheap next to what they prevent, and you can schedule service online or read what the service department handles. After a collision the route is different from routine service, and the collision repair page sets out the estimate step.
We are at 770 North Shadeland Ave, Indianapolis 46219, south of Lawrence by way of Pendleton Pike or Interstate 465. The hours and directions page carries the map and current hours.
Not for governing purposes. Lawrence is one of four “excluded cities” that kept their own municipal government when Marion County consolidated under Unigov, so it has its own mayor and council while sitting inside the county.
49,370 people as of the 2020 census, which makes it the 18th-largest city in Indiana. As of 2020 it was growing at about twice the state’s rate.

A hybrid, if the commute involves traffic. Honda’s hybrids are rated higher in the city than on the highway, the reverse of the gas versions, because stop-and-go driving is where the electric motor and regenerative braking do the most work.
The Pilot and the Odyssey. The Pilot is a three-row SUV and the Odyssey is a minivan; everything else in the lineup seats five.
On the SUVs. The CR-V, HR-V, Passport and Pilot offer or include all-wheel drive. The Civic and Accord are front-wheel drive only.
Yes, on every trim of every current Honda. Blind spot monitoring is a separate system that generally starts one trim higher.
It depends on the tier. HondaTrue Certified covers 2021-and-newer vehicles under 80,000 miles with 7 years or 100,000 miles of powertrain coverage. HondaTrue Used covers 2016-and-newer vehicles with no mileage limit and a shorter 100-day term. Both include a manufacturer inspection with a downloadable report.
Yes. Our service department works on any Honda regardless of where it was bought, and appointments can be booked online.
They change monthly. Whatever is live sits on the new Honda specials page.
