The last Consumer Reports survey was published in November 2022. According to the report, the most reliable car brands are Toyota, Lexus, BMW, Mazda, Honda, Audi, Subaru, Acura, and Kia.
The most reliable vehicles are the Toyota Corolla Hybrid, Lexus GX (not the all-new model), Mini Cooper, Toyota Prius, Mazda MX-5 Miata, Lincoln Corsair, Toyota Corolla, Subaru Crosstrek, BMW 3 Series, and the Toyota Prius Prime. No electric vehicles were on the list, and only two hybrid cars made the cut. All but the Miata and Prius Prime were 2023 model years. This suggests Toyota leads the pack in reliability as far as the hybrid powertrain is concerned.
Asian automakers also score high, but that’s to be expected. That’s the reputation built over time we were referring to earlier.
