The 10 best cars right now, according to Consumer Reports

CR declared the Nissan (NSANY) Sentra 2025's top small car, praising its price, comfort, fuel economy, and nimble handling. “The Sentra is proof that you can still find a good all-around new car for under $25,000,” CR said.

The redesigned 2025 Toyota (TM) Camry got high praise from CR, which called it “comfortable, practical, and user-friendly.” Toyota only sells the car as a hybrid and it gets an impressive 48 miles per gallon.

CR loved the Crosstrek, which “offers an excellent ride, good fuel economy, standard all-wheel drive, and a high ground clearance that makes it able to handle rougher roads.”

CR said the redesigned 2025 Forester is “better than ever,” with a makeover that “added refinements throughout the cabin, without straying from the winning formula that has made the Forester a regular among CR’s Top Picks.” It praised the SUV’s comfort, fuel economy, cargo space, and visibility.

The plug-in hybrid RAV4 got rave reviews from CR, which commended its performance, ride quality, and efficiency.

CR called this SUV a “unicorn among midsized SUVS,” noting its fuel efficiency despite its size. It said the car has good handling and is quite comfortable.

The Lexus NX350h and NX450h+ have a “refined-but-firm ride, quick steering, and capable handling,” and CR praised the small SUVs’ fuel efficiency.

CR loved the X5, which it said is the pinnacle of “premium” and boasts a powerful but efficient engine. The SUV has an “exceptionally quiet and richly finished cabin with supportive seats suitable for daylong trips.”

The Model Y was lauded for its long range and great performance, which “make it drive more like a sports car than an SUV.” CR did, however, criticize the Model Y’s distracting screen, which you need to use to change the audio and climate controls.

CR praised this small truck for being “fun” and “frugal.” It said the interior of the Maverick is comfortable and roomy, and the hybrid model gets incredible mileage for a pickup.
