Edmunds Top Rated 2024 | The Best Cars, Trucks and SUVs for 2024

[@edmundscars]

Which one of this year's winners would be your choice? Do you agree with our picks? Let us know in the comments and check out our full write-up at edmunds.com/toprated

[@CesarMadrigalmusic]

This is an add, not a real ranking.

[@rkalla]

What I'm realizing listening to this is that unless you know the due diligence that was done to pick these winners, this whole video just views like a company listing off their random pics for each segment for the year. So many cars on this list that have reliability issues or are so new to the market that there may not have even been a hundred of them sold yet. This just sounds like a marketing heads-up list more than anything

[@williamrumsey6717]

Exactly! Actual car people know that this list of car is not good from and ownership perspective. Prius isn’t too bad but how many recalls have Ford put out on the F-150 Lightning? Owning anything from Hyundai/Kia is going to be a journey to say the least.

[@BTC909]

2021 Tucson was a lemon for us and the service experience was a joke.@@williamrumsey6717

[@deuce24cuatro]

I agree, especially when they kicked off the best car for 2024 as the new Prius...seems like they're following fun trends (e.g., EVs being more prominent in conversations) more than actually defining "best" [vehicle].

[@JohnLee-db9zt]

Why are you watching this then? 🙄

[@RedRyz3n]

Sounds like you are bitter about their choices because YOU wanted something else. The real question is why do you care? Buy what you like and enjoy it. Doesn’t matter if it wins a reward that nobody cares about…

[@gene978]

Edmunds was my GO TO back in the 90’s and that’s where it belongs. Back in the 90’s. We don’t all live in California for perfect performing EV vehicles. Many of these cars are way to expensive even the KIA EV9 $80K, BMW I5, even at the high price they will leave you stranded in Sub Zero weather and don’t get me started on Battery Repair costs if you run over something that was in the road.

[@FullTimeGT]

Top rated awards. Small group of internal journalists shortlist. They had to justify several times how they rated the vehicules - eventually unequally. Take that list with a grain of salt. More a marketing stunt than anything else.

[@TheDanOsborne]

Having the 66k+ i5 as the top electric car (actually 84k+ for the m60i5 awd for ~50% of the world who actually experience winter driving) when there are so many cheaper options is certainly a choice.

[@TheDanOsborne]

I mean, the ioniq 6 (among others) charges faster and has more range for half the price? Doing the two things that are arguably most important to EV owners better than the i5. Maybe make seperate sections for "luxury" in the future if you wanna felatte gaudy, self-important money pits :)

[@DannyFyffe]

You picked the Lightning last year as your top pick and this year, it is dead. They slowed production, can't sell what's made and are losing a ton of money. So the EV9 will suffer that fate this time next year.

[@scottjacobs7720]

Applying the Madden Curse to this simile?

[@bmohre4784]

GM ditching Apple CarPlay and Android Auto means I can’t upgrade if I buy one of their vehicles. What are they thinking?

[@Postingam2]

It’s because their infotainment systems suck ass. My dad has a 2019 sierra and the CarPlay almost never worked and was always glitchy as shit. Sometimes the screen would just randomly push buttons for you and call random people in your contacts

[@razorseal]

@@Postingam2 I once had my apple carplay call and charter a jet for me in mexico and it used my black amex. that silly thing. Yeah it has to go.

[@amazingjason455]

Prius, electric BMW, hybrid Kia, electric Kia SUV. What a time to be alive.

[@kevinsullivan7831]

Ask the slave labor mining the lithium for them about that.

[@toeknee5777]

😅😅😅😅😅😅

[@rrad8106]

Apparently, Edmunds did not take into consideration overall reliability. "Bright and Shiny" seems to be the criteria.

[@naveenthemachine]

Reliability isn’t important anymore. Every cars reliable these days

[@uludak8468]

how do you count in reliability?

[@h79guf]

Great to see Prius back getting noticed

[@KNRS927]

I used to love Edmunds but this list is just way far from reality, and makes no sense for me.

[@MTreddevil12]

My fiancee has the Sportage Hybrid in the exact color. It's a great SUV, however, it doesn't get close to it's claimed MPG. The awd is rated at 38/38. We have never seen over 35, and on long road trips, it's been as low as 30mpg. There needs to be a lawsuit over this as many online have complained of the same issue.

[@rereichel]

That exact scenario is happening to many. If it doesn't get the mileage, why bother with the added tech and complexity? You might not remember, but Hyundai has a history of overstating fuel economy, and as such, has had to pay their customers in one way or another.

[@MTreddevil12]

@rereichel yes and not that long ago. You would think they'd learn their lesson. I wouldn't care if we were talking about averaging 35-36. But it's not even close.

[@kevinsullivan7831]

The US govt has been caught overestimating the mileage for hybrids because they have an agenda.@@rereichel

[@bho6486]

That is why we went with the Toyota Venza. We're averaging 41.1 mpg after 2 years...better than it's EPA numbers.

[@kevinsullivan7831]

try watching some reviews of the venza, oh and most people cannot afford a $40k car@@bho6486

[@randygt9027]

Price should be a consideration. Even though everything is over priced, especially in Canada.

[@docholliday7548]

For me it came down to the Taco or Colorado. I went with the Colorado ZR2 without a second thought. THOROUGHLY impressed with the look, fit/finish and performance both on and off road.

[@gerardogalicia9292]

wooooow, what a video! nice!

[@TinoMiller]

Whoever comes here to listen to Edmunds on their top picks have no brian of their own .. Cause how are you rating a Kia EV9 when that vehicle hasn’t even been on the market for a month .. Plus most of these vehicles are top trims that most dealers dont have available

[@lennexUtube]

I feel like Im watching a commercial. 11:11

[@BUKARADAMUBARE]

So amazing 😍

[@superior54]

Thanks Edmund

[@darylburks7889]

5:45 Yes, even for a woman, that is one high-pitched voice. But hey, when you are that good looking...pitch as high as you like! ❤👍

[@Blacksharq]

The real winner for me is the Ford Maverick hybrid

[@JohnLee-db9zt]

Not in reliability

[@deplorablechump8758]

Forget what Edmunds says. Choose Toyota/Honda for ICE & hybrid vehicles. Choose Tesla for EVs.

[@EDBPVIDEO]

What about the best selling vehicle in 2023? Or that new stainless steel truck with steer by wire technology?

[@BBingo-v5i]

Well done. I actually would have chosen the exact same vehicles.

[@cmecre8629]

y'all do a great service/job

[@siyamthandaquvana6378]

Hybrid car fast and very comfortable ....very fast on speed

[@garyclark6747]

Two and Three rows competing is an interesting dynamic. Congratulations to KIA for delivering. I personally don’t need or want a third row so the IONIQ 5 AWD Limited edges out the IONIQ 6 in space practicality and looks. A few road trips a year makes me desire a cosmetically overhauled RWD IONIQ 6 for another choice of rapid charging EV’s in a moderate price point.🤔

[@grandmastert01]

They love trying to convince us that electric is the way to go when sales say different. Last year Edmunds said best vehicle was ford lighting and now ford is shutting down the lighting plant because no one’s buying them

[@LagunaOba]

🙄🙄🙄 wow!! ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️🔋🔋🔋🔋 ….. come on guys

[@coachd7846]

Not having the Model Y in there is insanity!

[@THE_BLACKMAN]

Bro you heard of TATA Punch?

[@nickallen1850]

Confused how a Corvette and a Prius are lumped into the same category, but… mmmk

[@Nick-qx1vf]

They are cars

[@ucsdvc]

The BMW i5 is the sweet spot for luxury electric sedan! Only cars look better are Audi etron GT and Porsche Tycan but they are way more expensive.

[@igorcvetkovic2112]

seems vague. top rated based on what criteria? reliability, looks, performance or manufacturers giveaways and sponsorships for advertisements?

[@jeffbrittig5413]

Edmunds is just an advertiser

[@toeknee5777]

Well the cars in 2024 look sharp, all tha bells and whistles, great looks and body shape. So if you buy one, enjoy it. Al 40,000 miles of it- because thats about what youre gonna get...then watch your bank account drop due to whats not covered on your warranty...SAD BUT TRUE

[@Albanianguy9]

lol This is detached from reality and what people are buying. If you watched this you’d think everyone is buying a truck

[@scottjacobs7720]

have you looked at the top selling vehicles in the US? 1, 2 & 3 are trucks.

[@johnadair6108]

I've never seen any Kia stand the test of time.

[@andrewsmactips]

...And THAT is the new iPhone 18. Combining sleek design with groundbreaking... Oh, sorry. I thought I was inside an Apple announcement video.

[@receivebacon]

lol Chevy Colorado. Don't listen to anything these people are saying in this review. It's so scripted it feels like they're reading off cue cards. This entire video consists of new cars they happen to like, while completely ignoring past model reliability. That being said, I'd like to know how much GM paid Edmunds to say they legitimately preferred the Chevy Colorado over the Tacoma. It's a nice looking truck, sure. But it'll fall apart in 3 years.

[@jacobbwalters8133]

Most of the automotive publications like the Colorado over the Tacoma. Motortrend and Car & Driver have reached the same conclusion.

[@jacobbwalters8133]

Also, duh they are scripted- they wrote the reviews for their magazine and website then adapted it into video format.

[@receivebacon]

What I meant was, their delivery doesn't feel natural.@@jacobbwalters8133

[@dtay8913]

​@@jacobbwalters8133 He's just one is these Internet fanboys who, for some reason, believe the winning vehicle in every conceivable segment should be a Toyota.

[@joeerau]

Did you not receive the memo? The public does not want and is in the process of turning away from EVs.

[@rickenbach2865]

Had hoped for some more in depth reviews, but found nothing of the sort. Pretty car pictures presented by pretty people. Fluff over substance.

[@JohnLee-db9zt]

For EVs, I can’t imagine anything better than offerings from Hyundai/Kia for performance, design, and fast charging. Tesla is an alternative only because of their supercharging network, but Tesla has significant build quality issues, expensive repair that can only be done by Tesla, and piss poor winter battery performance. I’m waiting for the Ioniq 5N.

[@hitmanLis]

No body cares about electrical cars that you shaw down our troats. Next time make all diesel or gas list please.

[@rereichel]

Look at international reviews of BMW's new electric 5, and you'll see that it's not great. Way overstated range, cheaper interior materials than the outgoing model, etc. More than 25% of electric vehicle owners would not buy one again. At the rental car companies, they are now the inexpensive option. I'll keep my fuel efficient ICE car as long as possible.

[@TacoTruck17]

The EV is being highlighted by Edmonds! Personally I wouldn't touch an Electric vehicle!

[@danmayberry1185]

Edmunds used to help with buying decisions. EVs: nothing on battery degradation or replacement costs, range variations, etc. Unhelpful.

[@juanmedinar20]

Thank god no one listens to what this people say. The sale numbers show that this picks are bad. The KIA EV9 is the only good one.

[@shawnstiles3943]

I think it's sad to listen to them talk like we all are made of money and want everything on a vehicle so I can go broke to drive. What about not having a tech heavy vehicle that is simple, efficient and inexpensive? Oh, wait the car manufactures won't give you kickbacks if you talk outside of what they have for sale. I think you guys are out of touch with a lot of folks who don't need tech or want to spend their whole paycheck to drive.

[@middler5212]

Agreed! The car market is focused on a small margin of buyers. Most of us will have to wait 5 years or more to even hope to afford some of these options, and by then the shininess will wear off and reliability will become a serious consideration.

[@jeffruebens8355]

A recent Consumer Reports video chose the Honda Hybrid new cars and SUVs for how they drive. I like the Mazda steering feel a lot, for price and reliability especially used with about 10 to 50 thousand miles. See the Carsthatlast videos for older vehicle reliabilty, and try to get one well maintained by the previous owners.

[@CMCNestT]

I'd take a G80 Electrified over an i5 all day every day and twice on Sunday.

[@NOXStellans]

The i5 choice challenges the long-term credibility of these ratings.

[@aconsideredmoment]

Numbers and test results people, otherwise you are just like so many hipster food channels where they gush, "It tastes amazing," which tells us next to nothing.

[@kurtr1870]

You guys lost all credibility when you picked Kia Sportage. It is a POS with many reliability issues.

[@kevinsullivan7831]

Raters have been gushing about the prius for years, but now you say it has really improved. Which means someone has been dishonest about the prius and for only one reason, because it was a hybrid and only because of that.

[@giggles1219]

You lost me at KIA..They have thousands of recalls right now.

[@kennedyracing7527]

Cybertruck is the best new EV truck

[@constantinedimopoulos1110]

Subjective at best. Paid advertising to promote these vehicles at worst. These results are shallow, showy, and meaningless. Consumers Reports does more real world analysis and testing.

[@uludak8468]

the only questionable point to me is prius and practical. yes if you are single or a childless couple. if not, no way

[@jjuhring1]

Wow! What an utterly worthless list.

[@receivebacon]

The F150 Lightning's range is such a disaster, Ford's own president acknowledged the Lightning has significant range issues. Ford said less than a week ago they're scaling back production due to waning demand. You cannot tow with it. You can't use it in freezing weather. Hoovie proved this in his tests. This is a $92,000 truck that's unusable. Most KZbin car reviewers hated living with it. Stop misleading people.

[@BBingo-v5i]

Lol, range is better than Cybertruck

[@receivebacon]

True. No one I know wants that monstrosity.@@BBingo-v5i

[@femaledeer]

Ford makes a modern all Electric Lightening and puts an ugly 1960's antenna post on it.

[@femaledeer]

How can Consumer Reports give Prius a bad rating and Edmunds give it a good rating ? One of them doesn't know what they are talking about.

[@middler5212]

They’re looking at different things. Also, CR is pretty weird with their hot takes these days imo. CR can definitely be slow to accept new changes, because they wait to see if the bugs can be worked out and how the vehicles do in consumers’ real world scenarios. Whereas Edmunds is hungry for new, even at the cost sometimes to reliability and availability. CR is asking, “what would the average owner actually use long term?” And Edmunds is saying, “what’s the coolest thing available today?” The average American isn’t going to go out and risk buying the coolest thing out there if they want to keep an affordable vehicle for 5 or 10 years. That’s why Toyotas and F-150s have been so popular. All that said, the perfect car for each person may lie somewhere in between what these two companies say. In my experience.

[@femaledeer]

Kia has not convinced me that they know how to make a quality vehicle. Unlike Toyota, I hardly see any older ones on the road. Also, in the past their engine reliability have been terrible.@@middler5212

[@BTC909]

Ride quality of a upper trim Prius isn't good. The cockpit layout was a mistake. Cargo area reduction. Low roof height.

[@je9237]

This a stupid list

[@Thunderbolt-ws7qm]

What are you reading? Consumer Reports gives the Prius a high score and recommends it.

[@adrianw3985]

It's hard to imagine that you guys have used the electric F150 the way most guys actually would. Those who have tried to use one to do truck things like going camping or hunting, etcetera, have found that the truck does not even come close to going the distance. Have you tried to tow anything with it? I bet not. You can't even go 100 miles towing a load with it. What a joke... get real, I can't take your evaluation seriously at all. It's seems you only took it down town to get coffee. The F150 Lightening is a joke. Even the CEO of Ford, Jim Farley, said he was disappointed in the truck.

[@831Adventures]

Shit my first and last ford was the 2021 f150

[@naveenthemachine]

At least none of them are Toyotas or Lexuses which is a good thing. After all they’re subpar compared to other brands

[@NOXStellans]

Prius is a what?

[@naveenthemachine]

@@NOXStellans a compact sedan that doesn’t belong here

[@kevij371]

​@@naveenthemachine watch the video again

[@cobra2079]

I want to know what they’re drinking at Edmunds, because these list are hot garbage 😂 besides the Prius.

[@farid7838]

Prius as number#1, no contest here. Sorry, but the Kia Sportage is one ugly car. Sure the BMW i5 looks and drives great, but at about $70k, there are better, more affordable options (Tesla, Mercedes EQE, Volkswagen ID7, etc.).

[@laserengraving6668]

What a joke of a rating....anyone there heard os TESLA. Wow
