10Best Trucks and SUVs: www.caranddriver.com/features...
Our ultimate comparison test is the annual 10Best awards. Once again, we gathered every new and significantly changed vehicle we could get our hands on with a base price below $110,000. What makes 10Best distinct is that we bring back the reigning winner to compete against the new challengers, allowing the former to defend their spots on the list. By mixing last year's best with everything new, the 10Best list represents the best cars for sale this year and not just the best of what's new.
We spent two weeks driving the entire field, moving from one vehicle to the next, stopping only to take notes or discuss the vehicle with our fellow editors. Voting differs from our other comparison tests in that 10Best boils down the entire vehicle to a number between 1 and 100 instead of scoring various categories. In a nod to how it's done in figure skating, we toss the highest and lowest scores before the testing team puts the rest into a spreadsheet to determine the 10Best Cars and the 10Best Trucks and SUVs. Trucks, SUVs, and everything not-cars are the market's preferred body styles, and our annual 10Best awards celebrate our favorites in this sprawling category.
Our annual awards cut through the clutter to find the 10 cars and the 10 trucks and SUVs that live up to their purpose while delivering incredible value and a great driving experience.

you got the car right , but forgot the driver ....Mazda
I think the new Subaru Crosstrek should win instead of the Chevy Trax.
chevy trax 134 horses ......WHOOPS!@@Hi-how-are-you-today.
@CarlosLago The way all the specs are jammed together is super confusing on each car's intro shot. Especially when ev and gas are combined
Separate Trucks and SUVS. Two wildly different market. They shouldn't be blended.
Nah
Keep them together, then I can just ignore a single category
Cats and dogs sleeping together!
@@dhrudry1 they aren't different markets? weird. tell me how many 7 seater trucks there are. Ill wait.
Enjoy. I think they know best
Rarely I post a review like this, but this list not relevant. It looked like you only showed cars that accepted your invite. Sorry guys, a lot is going wrong on that list.
That shot of someone hanging out of the frunk with a camera!!!
The Trax... initially... till literally anything breaks. More throwaway mindset.
I can’t believe the 1995 Chevrolet caprice wagon is not on this list
Know someone that when one died replaced with another and I am taking into 2011, when I last saw him he had one. Sadly he passed away fir an older gentleman. He loved that wagon.
The 1995 Buick Estate would easly be car of the year today with a modern LT1 and the sam old 4L60E transmission.
30 minutes huh? I am about to have a record setting bathroom break.
That’s your record? Those are rookie numbers 😂
I'm glad I'm not the only one to appreciate what the new Trax does for car buyers. I spent a few days with one and didn't hate my time in it.
I tell everyone its the perfect vehicle for someone who doesn't want anything in particular aside from great mileage and a low price tag. It's decently comfortable and accommodating, and spacious enough for most daily usage. Props to Chevy for that one.
Make $30k the limit. A $50k Integra is silly. Higher, even if they are good, they are simply inaccessible novelty.
As for EVs, most, until the prices drop, are uninteresting novelty.
Trucks may have some COTY candidates, but the COVID era price increases drive most to the unoptainable atmosphere.
E-ray actually isnt allowed to even come on to race track grounds around here because they wouldn't be able to control a fire
Great to see the 2023 Prius on the list. Amazing modern redesign that pays homage to the original.
Also nice to see it goes from 0-60 in 7 seconds. That will satisfy a lot of people.
1:07 Cayman as a camera chase vehicle? Genius 😂
Surprised to not see CX5!
They never dig into the mechanicals, the suspensions, the guts, the engines and motors and all those reliability factors that mean so much to the people who actually shell money out of their own pockets for a vehicle. This Best List is little more than a superficial beauty contest and nothing more.
Not one Mazda ....Whoops.
but they have a kia 🤣
I freeking love my Telluride!
🤣🖐ever notice how reviewers “love” the cars they have possession of for one hour? Besides test drives, I always visit dealership service waiting areas, sit down as if I’m waiting too and ask others how they like their car. Most honest reviews ever.
What about the new Mazda cx90. No special mentions this year...
Looking forward to getting my Monthly Car And Driver magazine and read about this. As always Awesome Job C&D Team!
how many BEST 10 have you lost sleep over AFTER you discovered in the later years all the flaws and reliability issues??????????
Wish to have seen a Nissan on here or a Mazda or even they Mitsubishi ..
Still don’t know how Honda and Toyota got all their vehicles on here when especially the CR-V when the HR-V drives, and is better
Where are the BMW's? We test drove (used) Honda Civic, Honda Accord, & Subaru Outback, & ended up with a bmw 3-series, which was in the same price range. After a year, we are very happy with it.
Not one Mazda? Dude really?!
A Miata?
Did you guys take into consideration the RELIABILITY of those vehicles???
I think car and driver only considers reliability if it was on their long term test,
The entirety of BMW just committed seppuku. “Ultimate driving machine” replaced by a Prius.
Great video. Background music level is way too high compared to the conversations recording levels.
Toyota Grand Highlander not earning the coveted IIHS top safety honors is a little bit disappointing, since its smaller sibling (regular Highlander) did.
masterfully produced video! :D
Awesome. Hopefully I'll be able to use future videos of this style to decide which vehicles to get.
I think it’s important to point out that the Kia Ion 5 battery replacement cost is $60K. It is a real price point to. It was caused by debris from the road. I seriously don’t know why anyone would pick any electric vehicle in there Top 10 List when these vehicles are prone to fire’s & electrocution. I’m a huge fan of Car & Driver & Motor Trend for many years. I’m not sure why you would mention or discuss these issues. Maybe you have. Getting these on UA-cam isn’t regular as it should be.
Not a single Mazda? The Honda accord a 10 best?? Honda def paid to have there vehicles on here. The pre-redesign accord was better in every way.
Mazda has been out of the game for a very long time. Only recently have they made effort to be viable again as they move up-class.
An accord with a cvt is fun to drive. 🤔.with all the electronics, what about reliability...after a few years...
Just spent 1500 to fix the EPB on a sorento..
I wanted to love the Accord and was fully planning on buying one. Unfortunately, I just can't get past what they did to the exterior styling, and it's kinda insane you need to buy the top trim just to get BSM and rear vents and USB outlets.
That’s false.
Really subjective. I think the Accord is the best it's looked in decades.
You can buy an EX-L and get BSM, rear vents and USB outlets 😂
I just bought a '24 Accord EX-L and it's the best car I've owned in over 45 years. FYI... the EX-L trim has BSM, rear vents, and USB outlets... plus a whole lot more.
2024 Accord looks boring and big next to my blue 2013 Accord Sport 6spd(Canadian).
Peterbilt 579 ultraloft still my favorite but there's something about that new international hx
How would you compare the Integra type S vs the CT4 V Blackwing manual?
the caddy is way way better than the Integra, better compared it with M2 or M4
Can you guys please tell us where this is road is? I assume it's somewhere in michigan?
What has the world come to where a BMW and Merc or even VW didn't make the top 10?
Because they r kinda over priced and not as good. .people like them for name..meanwhile..Lexus just took over as #1 Manufacturer
@RuthlessEfficiency
Outside of reliability how did
Lexus make #1 ??? They are
A classy japanese buick. I
Love lexus but im being unbiased
@@RuthlessEfficiency Lexus makes practical cars. Reliable, but souless. They aren't sporty, they aren't as luxurious as competitors. They are a luxury car bought by people who don't like cars.
@@bluebomber697 The IS, LC, and RC are all very entertaining cars. But I do agree the average lineup are depressing to drive
Tell that to my 1990 BMW 325i convertible.
what an awful "10 best"
Read article by car and driver. The XL Maverick has cruise control standard now. The C&D article stated otherwise.
11:33 Thought you guys were looking for the perfect beat. 😜
I worked for AAA for many years and there are two brands you stay well away from unless you like lemons. Just about every model Jeep makes has major issues which would me a visit back to the dealer. The other is all models Chrysler makes including their Ram division. Buy at your own risk.
Not surprised. My father was a mechanic and he said the same. If ease of repair, cost, and reliability is paramount, stick with Honda and Toyota. Keep in mind this was said back then ... Less computer than today's autos.
Haven't paid attention to car & driver since magazine subscription dayz.
Nice comparison of vehicles except no minivans or a good representation of pickup trucks.
Seems fan based advertising
Let me save this to watch later... I'm a Lil busy
Honda Taurus
HONDA WINS!! Again. 😄😀
Hope the new Camry will dethrone the Accord next year
@@Brian_Eugene_Lee rather that than the 1.5 Turbo
What about the pesky dealer markup? Would that eventually go away or here to stay?? 🤷♂️
GTI for 31000 is the winner
Exactly
Thank you C/D
In the SUV segment, it's a wonder why the Mazda CX-5 Turbo was not on this list.
Honestly, i think the pure is the lucid air i would have of the range anyways.
The value just makes a lot more sense. Although 500+ miles of range is quite tempting.
It doesn’t really get up to that mileage, more like 350-ish miles
@@cool-j7148 wait. Do you mean the pure? Or are you claiming the top end lucid is 150 miles off on it's claimed range?
The new Accord and Civic are exactly what they're supposed to be, IMO, especially the Accord. Simple, straightforward, and everything you need in a daily. Not trying to look sporty, not trying to be cool, just gives you exactly what you need with a little bit of fun involved. This refresh is an absolute win IMO.
Does giving you nothing more than exactly what you need make it the best? I think this magazine capes for the Accord in a way that's illogical. I don't think it belongs on this list. Just good enough shouldn't be good enough for a 10best list.
100%@@tri3pleagent
What soundtrack is playing at 8:10?
What about mid size trucks? Tacoma, ranger, colorado, canyon, Ridgeline, and whatever else I forgot.
I heard from Consumers in the comment sections, other then the top trim, the car is cheapy overall. Honda needs to reconnect with its roots. Needs to get rid of the excessive road noise and get rid of CVTs and then improve their paint quality.
Honda is still paying for its spot, lol.
Great video but the sound is crazy. Voices are hard to hear music is blaring over them speaking
Maverick? And not Ridgeline ??
I would accuse you of making a Consumer Reports 10Best but CR actually cares about practicality and safety and might skip Prius with its cramped back seat and the Hyundai, Kia and Toyota family haulers that have all failed the latest round of IIHS crash tests. Car and Driver 20Best in which 2/3 of the cars are bad to drive is a new one for me.
Wow! No BMWs!
How much does Honda pay for these reviews? Each one read like it was straight out of a commercial.
Haha CD has had a love affair with Honda since the 80s, this is nothing new
Please comment on reliability of Honda 1.5 turbo.
The elite of 2024!
Enough with the Accord. At this point I wonder if it just so they can add another year to the list. The Hybrid falls short of the Camry, the design is uninspired, the seats (as they have been for years) are lacking support and are uncomfortable, the interior while having a decent design has a fair amount of cheap feeling, hard plastics, and the reliability has fallen from the top notch Honda reliability of years past. It may be a good mid-size sedan but they’re are far better cars out there.
Genuinely curious because I’m in the market for- what do you consider better at the same price range? Camry? Have heard too many nightmare stories about Kia / Hyundai
@@DerbyPy Camry all day everyday. I’ve worked in the car business for going on 20 years and there aren’t many people in the business that I’ve talked to over the years that would say an Accord is a better option then a Camry. I would consider a Legacy as well, especially if AWD is on your list. Probably best ride of all mid size sedans and roomy. I’d definitely stay away from Hyundai/Kia. They just aren’t there. Same with the Altima.
Not to mention they still have not fixed the road noise. The Camry is far better muted.
GTI S trim, ie, base trim, is the best affordable car on the market. Fun to drive, great safety features, a real hatch as large as a smaller SUV
Nope! It's ccccrap and that's why it's not on the list.
unfortunately the ergos on the inside is a deal breaker to a lot of people
Headunit interface is crap though
@@HNRichard
Nah. It’s actually very good.
@@yuriteixeira5816
Only silly reviewers
There are obvious familiar faces here like the Accord, Boxter, Pilot, etc. But also totally unexpected ones like the fkn Prius and Grand Highlander.
Toyota really IS making a huge comeback huh.
Kinda sad the GR Corolla and Supra didn't make it this year.
Grand Highlander Prius don’t deserve to be on this list
Toyotas not coming back 😂. They still can’t compete with Honda Hyundai Kia.
@@naveenthemachine ok hater.
@naveenthemachine The newest Prius gets almost 60mpg. Can't compete with that. That's motorcycle numbers.
@@spencerbair1137 Yes. THANK YOU. Someone who gets it.
@@spencerbair1137 at the expense of wind noise since it’s aerodynamic, cramped interior space tiny trunk and a bizarre driver cockpit
Types s all the way
The Trax, with its deficit of power, is best suited for urban duty.
At 24:58, why does the Porsche have Mercedes-Benz’ license plate?
The prices on some of these vehicles are outrageous.
Unfortunately, Hondas have become ridiculously expensive. If you can get one for anything close to 30,000.00 you better have a gun when you talk to the salesman
Just look at the total advertising spend by each automaker, put a car from the top advertisers into categories, then voila... top ten.
exactly
Exactly
Um, reliability was clearly not part of these equations. Cadillac? Seriously?! Lost me with that one.
Exactly. And no mention of past issues with Honda's 1.5 either. Disappointing, at least for the driver who factors reliability into the equation... and that equation has gotten very expensive in the last 5 years or so.
Honda needs to face off with the camry in NASCAR
Many years, the Accord had no business being included in 10 Best (I’m thinking of the mid-00s to mid-teens whale versions) but the editors seemed to look extra hard to find any excuse to include it, which really damaged the credibility of the list. Ezra was right this year in saying how Honda took away many of its most compelling features, yet here it is yet again. And with it, there goes more of the credibility of this exercise.
My God man, I could not agree with you more. I just posted the same thing. It’s an absolute travesty what C/D has done and continues to do with this car.
Stupid!
In truth they had it 3x... The Accord, the Acura Integra and then the Civic lol Even with their "price ceiling" the Trucks and SUV category had the Maverick and RAM 1500, then 5 crossovers and 2 "SUVS" Yet their price ceiling didn't allow the higher trim Lucid but allowed the E-Ray? If its off of base price, then where's the Dark Horse or any of the Last calls from Dodge as their base trim is $35k-ish. Dark Horse was on sale before the E-Ray was
100%. Honda is WAY overrated by these guys. Sales numbers alone prove the point. For me, the accord has always had too much road noise compared to other better cars such as the Camry.
I don't think it is a scam. It is more like a habit.
Car and Driver ought to be posting these videos in 4k 'cause 1080p is behind the times. Lots of people have 4k monitors these days and as an alternative, viewing can be set to 1440p in cases where there is peak throttling. I'm surprised a prestigious gold standard outfit like this would fall a bit behind.
1:05 - Hahaha
Interesting how I have no desire for not one of these vehicles. I guess uninteresting is a big part of this list. 🥱
Vehicles should be offered without their badges (outside & inside). Then it would matter a whole lot less what “brand” someone drives. We’re paying way too much for luxury badges.
put a damn HONDA CIVIC and HONDA ACCORD on the top 10 best cars in 2024, this video is embarrassing
I won’t purchase a car until I read you reviews first.
it took them months to publish this, it looks like summer
F your car payments you can keep them!
The Honda 1.5 engine is not good , we’re is the Toyota RAV4?
Hankerd and Glenbrook Road! Such great SE Michigan backroads… erm, some of the only great SE MI backroads
Car and driver said back in the year 2000 that the Accord V6 was the best sedan that year. And i bought one. And it was the worst car i ever owned. I bought a 2001 EX-L V6 brand new and during ownership it has had 3 transmissions replaced, 2 of which during the 36,000 mile warrenty. The brakes were horrible and wooden feeling. I always felt that my brakes had such a hard time stopping that i had to start braking way ahead of time otherwise i would rear end someone. Not a confidence inspiring braking system. The brakes siezed up on me 5 times and it always happends during the winter time when there was snow on the ground. The transmission would slip even when brand new. The suspension was sloppy and handled like a dog. I was so glad i got rid of it. Every car i bought after that was way better than that piece of shitbox. Never bought another Honda again.
On the other hand, a whole lot further back when they first began the Top 10, they told me the VW Jetta was a good car (one I hadn't even considered when I went car shopping). So I test drove one and was immediately hooked. From that moment on there was never a time I'd drive the car and not end the trip with a smile on my face. I bought the GLI -- sedan version to GTI -- and driving it was so much fun.
In fact, that was back in the day when fuel was under a dollar, and people would still go out for Sunday drives. Sometimes I'd drive over a hundred miles just because it was so much darn fun. From Old Topanga canyon road on the west coast, to the Florida Keys Highway on the east coast.
Full disclosure: the fuel pump fail 6 months in, and was replaced under warranty. If they ever import an R SUV (performance R), I'll buy it.
VW is really underrated in the U.S. VW is the best seller in China for the last 40 years until Chinese manufacturer start producing so many cool EV’s lately that their sales has slumped big time.
This video looks like it is a commercial to Car and Driver instead of highlighting the driven cars best features.
No Mazda SUVs? 💩
Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro, simply the best
i think the lucid exterior actually looks worse with time.
Drives me nuts when people can’t just give objective anlysis. He said in the early days there were so few good American cars they had to do 5 domestic and 5 foreign. Thats wrong. Just list the best cars available. Don’t interfere with it. I want to know what cars are the best. And that begs the question…what editorial decisions are they making now that we are unaware of? I don’t trust their list fully honest and unbiased.
For me, Car and Drivers opinion doesnt hold the same weight anymore. Theres something about this list of cars that tells me they are not consistent with the rating criteria and not being honest with themselves. Lol
I bought a '23 Ram 1500 based on multiple positive reviews and one short test drive. Traded a flawless '08 Tundra owned from new. The Ram's only redeeming features were the side mirrors and console design. Its handling was horrible (wallowing pig comes to mind) and the "manual shifter" tiny button hidden on the steering wheel has to be the worst designed thing I've ever seen. And, even if you found the button, the transmission took about a minute to change gears. Mine was delivered with a defective 12" radio unit and it took almost 3 months to get a replacement. After 4 wasted months I traded it on a '24 Tundra which is better in every way (except the center console). Car and Driver drops a notch in my opinion after this one...
I was looking into Ram before I decided to go on the waiting list for 10 months to get my 22 Tundra hybrid.Love it.
Best vehicles: 1) Toyota, 2) Honda, 3) everybody else...
@@USMCAllTheWay
Not true. There are alternatives.
And also other segmants that
Toyota & Honda arent even
Competitive in. Like performance
Why would you buy it before getting into it? Hmmm
I test drove one and, compared to a 15 year old 100K mile Tundra, it seemed fine. So, I did get into one before buying it. And then got out of it as fast as I could. BTW, even though my brand new truck came with a defective radio, they waited months to replace it with a refurbished unit. I was actually waiting to get the radio repaired to get rid of the truck or it would have been gone sooner...@@HenryCalderonJr
Please stop adding static to the audio.
Let it make sense. The tesla model y became the best selling car. Not only ev. Car. How is such a car not on the list? Whats happening?
And where is the problem? They are talking about the best car and not the most selling car. Tesla Model Y is selling so well not because it's an amazing car. It's selling because it has an affordable price for the equipment you get.
@@andrzejmnich1285 It's the most amazing car I've owned and have owned many. The real answer is: Tesla doesn't advertise in their mag.
No mention of the Lexus GX550 or the new Toyota Land Cruiser? Hmmm.
Neither were available for evaluation. They will be part of the test next year.
Plus neither of them are very competitive tbh
How is the dude driving an Accord not wearing a seatbelt? It always feel so weird to me.
I don’t trust the reviewers who only drove the cars but never worked on the cars. Stay away from turbo engines and CVT like Accords. Accords with Turbo is reliable? The guy has no clue about fixing a car. You cannot trust them.
Why is C/D not publishing fuel mileage in most of their ICE articles? At times they are being vague about this. Example; between the M3 and Darkhorse comparison, they just give mpg stats over a given distance but do not publish the actual fuel mileage of either car. Tread carefully,
C/D, don’t feed into the big “E” propaganda or your publication will see fewer and fewer subscribers.
Toyota 4runner ??
Domestic cars weren't very good??
You just admitted to being biased
Plenty of EU & Asian vehicles were
Not very good in the last 15 years
Aswell. You guys show favortism 😅
