With the average price of a new car hovering around $48,000, people in the market for a new vehicle can ill-afford to rely on guesswork to determine which models are likely to hold up well over time, perform to their expectations, and deliver a safe and satisfying ownership experience. Consumer Reports (CR), the nonprofit research, testing, and consumer advocacy organization, is providing new brand-level performance data and tools on CR.org/cars that will help car shoppers make the smartest vehicle choice for their needs and budget.
CR today released its multi-faceted 2025 Automotive Report Card. The organization pored over its exclusive road test scores for more than 200 new vehicles, analyzed reliability and owner satisfaction data from its member surveys, and factored in safety performance to produce overall car brand rankings. In addition, visitors to CR.org/cars can view each brand to see where it ranks on new car reliability, used car reliability, owner satisfaction, road test score, and maintenance and repair costs. CR members will be able to dive deeper into the data, with access to “Recommended” new and used models for each brand; they can also sort by powertrain type, drivetrain, and number of rows of seats.
