Every year, Consumer Reports and its team of automotive experts test and scrutinize virtually every car sold in the United States. Of those cars, a select few stand above the rest and join the vaunted group of vehicles known as Consumer Reports’ Top Picks.
To become a Top Pick, a car must excel at the publication’s track tests, offer average or better reliability,perform effectively in government or industry crash tests, and return high owner satisfaction scores in Consumer Reports’ surveys.
