The Best Car, Suv, and Truck Brands Ranked

Shopping for a new car can be daunting. What makes it even more difficult is the fact that there are a lot of great vehicles to choose from. We’ve put together a list of automakers known for the highest quality cars. So when you choose one of these, you’ll at least have some peace of mind.

Fiat

Though there are only two models available today – the 124 Spider and the 500L wagon, they’re both good cars. The 124 Spider is a fun sports car with great handling, and 500L offers a stylish option.

Nissan

Nissans midsize and large sedans are among the best cars in their class. Its total range of offerings ranges from the affordable Leaf EV to the 370Z and GT-R sports cars. Overall, Nissan cars offer good value, but the brand tends to go too long between redesigns.

Subaru

Subaru’s well-rounded lineup includes the difficult-to-beat Outback wagon. Subarus are known to be comfortable, practical, loaded with advanced safety features, and are solid performers. Subaru also offers all-wheel drive as standard across its range.

MINI

The Mini Cooper and the Cooper Clubman are the choices of vehicles for people that love cars that are fun to drive, have a unique design, and are loaded with personality. They’re both excellent subcompacts and have good reliability ratings. They are premium options in a segment mostly aimed at entry-level car buyers, though.

Dodge

If you want an essential car that’s also excessive, look no further. The Charger is a muscle car in a sedan guide that destroys its competition in terms of performance. But quality and practicality are limited. The Challenger, a true muscle car, is a blast to drive and makes for an excellent sports car.

Volkswagen

The Volkswagen lineup is filled with good cars. The best of the lot is the sporty, practical, and upscale compact GTI hatchback. There’s also the Golf, Jetta, and the midsize Passat to choose from.

RAM

Ram’s pickup trucks are among the best you can buy today, especially the Ram 1500. It features high-tech equipment like a hybrid powertrain. The 2500 and 3500 trucks also offer impressive heavy-duty performance. The Promaster van is an excellent choice for urban tradespeople.
