Honda and Subaru have tied for No. 1 on Consumer Report’s list of the Best All-Around Vehicles. This year made it the fourth year in a row that Honda has claimed the top spot on the list.
Consumer Reports scores the vehicles on their reliability and their scores from a road test. At least five models from an automaker must be submitted in order to be considered. The road test includes testing the car’s braking, acceleration, controls, fuel economy, emergency handling, off-road capability, safety features, trunk and cargo space and other thorough tests.
Honda and Subaru were tied with a score of 77 out of 100, followed by Toyota which received a 74. Hyundai took fourth place with a score of 73. Nissan and Volkswagen tied for fifth place, both automakers earned a score of 72. Chrysler placed last, earning a lower score than its previous year on the list. It was the only automaker on the list that had a lower score. Only one of Chrysler’s vehicles made it on Consumer Reports Recommended list, the Ram 1500 pickup truck.
