Most Reliable New Cars and SUVs That Won't Sink Your Budget

The vehicles are ranked in order of their predicted reliability score, and all are recommended by CR. That means they scored well in our road tests, which comprise more than 50 objective and subjective evaluations.

They all come standard with automatic emergency braking (AEB), while AEB that works at highway speeds, blind spot warning (BSW), and rear cross traffic warning (RCTW) either come standard or as options that don’t push the price above $30,000. That is why some models, such as the Toyota Camry Hybrid and Subaru Forester, don’t make this list.

Though we tested more expensive all-wheel-drive versions of some of these, we also recommend the less costly front-wheel-drive versions.
