See the vehicles that made Consumer Reports’ annual Top Picks list in 2024, 2023, 202220212020201920182017201620152013, and 2012.

All-around winners. That, in essence, is what our Top Picks are. Each is an exceptional, well-­rounded vehicle, chosen from more than 260 we’ve recently tested. They have excelled in our testing, are reliable, and have performed well in independent crash tests. In other words, it’s hard to go wrong with any of them.

Our 2014 picks include models from eight automakers; only Honda and Subaru earned more than one spot. And there are four new winners: the slick, electric-powered Tesla Model S, the impressive Subaru Forester and Hyundai Santa Fe SUVs, and the freshened Ram 1500 pickup truck, which is the first Chrysler model to make the list in 16 years.

Top Picks must meet our criteria in three areas:
Test performance: Each must rank at or near the top of its class in our overall test score.

Reliability: Each must have an average or better reliability Rating, based on the problems our subscribers reported on 1.1 million vehicles in our latest Annual Auto Survey conducted by the Consumer Reports National Research Center.

Safety: Top Picks must perform adequately if included in crash or rollover tests conducted by the government or insurance industry.

Each model’s overall road-test score, predicted-reliability Rating, the overall fuel economy and much more are available on the model pages. Prices reflect the sticker prices when we bought our tested cars.
