Those vehicles are the: Toyota Corolla Hybrid, Toyota Camry Hybrid, Ford Maverick Hybrid, Nissan Leaf, Lexus NX350h, and Tesla Model 3. You'll also notice that a majority are electrified: five of them are hybrids and two are all-electric.Ĭonsumer Reports says six of the Top 10 also earn its Green Choice designation, meaning they are the top 20% of vehicles that emit the lowest amount of greenhouse gasses and other pollutants, based on EPA data. It's the Forester's 10th consecutive year on the list and the Telluride's made the list since introduced in 2020. The Subaru Forester and Kia Telluride are no strangers to the list.

Of the Top 10 Picks this year, eight vehicles are new to the list: the Toyota Corolla Hybrid, Toyota Corolla Cross, Toyota Camry Hybrid, Ford Maverick Hybrid, Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid, Lexus NX350h, Nissan LEAF, and the Tesla Model 3. The nonprofit, independent, consumer research organization says the vehicles that made the cut are the best of the best in Consumer Report (CR) ratings which means they performed well in road tests, come standard with key safety features and also received high marks for reliability and satisfaction from owners in its member surveys. The Car ProĬonsumer Reports is sharing its annual list of 10 Top Picks in cars, SUVs, and trucks for 2023. There are a lot of great electric vehicles out there now, and I think many are better choices for quality and reliability. This time, I only disagree with their pick of the Tesla. I’m quite sure they do a great job on other topics. If you listen to the Car Pro Show, you know I generally disagree with Consumer Reports about anything car related.
