The 10 best auto brands for 2024 in Consumer Reports' rankings

Consumer Reports recently released its list of recommended vehicles for 2024, with electrified vehicles taking seven out of the top ten spots. The publication also ranks automotive brands using those scores and several other factors. To be eligible for a ranking, CR has to have tested at least two models from the automaker, with Lucid, Polestar and Ram being left off the scoreboard.

Many brands made significant moves this year, but not all were positive. Tesla dropped a spot, while Cadillac climbed 11 places to 14th, and Ford moved up six positions to 17th.
