They include the Subaru Crosstrek with an overall score of 87/100. It gets a predicted reliability score of 99/100. That high predicted score is based on data from the 2024 model.
Consumer Reports says, the Crosstrek is one of the most researched cars on ConsumerReports.org. It delivers an excellent ride, good fuel economy, standard all-wheel drive, and enough ground clearance for mild off-roading all in a reasonably sized and priced package.
Toyota Prius and Prius Prime with an overall score of 80/100 for the Prius and 76/100 for the Prime. Prius gets a predicted reliability score of 84/100 and the Prime 62/100 which is based on data from 2021, 2022 and 2023 models.
Consumer Reports says, it’s always had a soft spot for the Prius. Over the past two decades it has offered practical transportation and impressive fuel economy. The Prius is now sportier offering more power and the addition of AWD. Consumer Reports feels it’s cooler looking and more engaging to drive than the outgoing model but the current model is much more difficult to see out of. Having two powertrain choices doubles its appeal.
Subaru Forester with an overall score of 88/100 and a predicted reliability score of 82/100.
It’s the last year before a redesign and it has made 11 appearances as a top pick with Consumer Reports. Consumer Reports says the winning formula includes a boxy design that maximizes interior space with great visibility. The vehicle has large doors making it easy to get in and out of the vehicle but also to load things in and out.
Mazda3 with an overall score of 78/100 and a predicted reliability score of 72/100.
Consumer Reports says the Mazda3 has always stood out as a sportier choice than compact rivals from Honda, Nissan and Toyota. Consumer Reports says it has an elegant and quiet interior with a refined ride.
Toyota Camry Hybrid with an overall score of 93/100 and a predicted reliability score of 87/100.
Consumer Reports says among mid-sized sedans, the Camry is distinguished by good fuel economy, a comfortable ride, intuitive controls and standard advanced safety systems.
Ford Maverick and Maverick Hybrid with an overall score of 78/100 for the gas model and 77/100 for the hybrid. Predicted reliability score for the gas model is 71/100 and the hybrid 60/100 which is based on data from 2022 and 2023 models.
Consumer Reports says it occupies an increasingly popular niche, it’s a small truck that can be bought on a budget. It has a civilized ride, easy access and good fuel economy. Consumer Reports says the Maverick outscores every pickup in its class other than the larger and more expensive Honda Ridgeline.
Toyota RAV4 Prime with an overall score of 89/100 and a predicted reliability score of 84/100.
Consumer Reports says this plug-in hybrid offers plenty of power, a comfortable ride and excellent fuel economy benefits. Consumer Reports thinks it’s a good option for buyers who are looking towards an EV but don’t want to worry about recharging the battery when on a long road trip.
Toyota Highlander Hybrid with an overall score of 85/100 and a predicted reliability score of 75/100.
Consumer Reports says the Highlander is a comfortable midsized SUV with great fuel economy, a compliant ride, accommodating seats, thoughtful cabin conveniences, abundant active safety features and commendable predicted reliability.
BMW X5 and X5 PHEV with an overall score of 92/100 for the gas model and 88/100 for the plug-in hybrid. The gas model gets a predicted reliability score of 82/100 and the PHEV 53/100, it doesn’t fair as well but it gets an overall score of 98/100 on the road test so it really brought up the overall score.
Consumer Reports says traveling in the X5 is a luxury experience with a quiet cabin. It has leather and wood, finished with cushioned surfaces and comfortable seats. The balanced suspension provides a supple ride and composed handling that holds its own on curvy roads. Consumer Reports says the X5 sets a high standard with its turbo inline-six in the gas model or plug-in hybrid.
Model Y with an overall score of 72/100 and a predicted reliability score of 41/100 which is based on data from 2021, 2022 and 2023 models. It had a high road test score of 88/100 bringing up its overall score.
