Spoiler Alert: Ford falls 12 spots to Number 25
How We Rank the Car Brands
The Overall Score for individual models is based on four key factors: the road test, reliability, owner satisfaction, and safety.
For the Road-Test Score, we put the vehicles we buy through more than 50 tests and evaluations.
Predicted Reliability ratings are based on the problems reported by members in 17 trouble areas in CR’s auto surveys.
Owner Satisfaction predictions are based on whether CR members say in our surveys that they’d buy the same vehicle again, if given the chance.
Safety includes an assessment of crash-test results and extra points awarded for vehicles that come with proven safety features standard on all trims.
Green Choices reflect how many tested vehicles from a brand earned the Green Choice designation for being among the cleanest, lowest-emitting passenger vehicles.
