QUICK WHICH SUV do you think is the least reliable: an Acura MDX, a BMW X3, or a Chevrolet Tahoe? In order to answer that, you’ll need data—lots of data— from people who own those cars. Fortunately for you, we have that data. And a lot of it. Our one-of-a-kind, real-world reliability ratings are based on members’ experiences with more than 500,000 vehicles reported in the latest Annual Auto Survey. From this, we can provide detailed reliability histories and predict which models are most likely to be trouble-free—or trouble-prone. Whether you’re buying or leasing, you can rely on CR’s ratings and reviews to steer you in the right direction and put the odds in your favor that your car won’t leave you stranded—no matter how long you plan to own it. Our ratings are based on the most comprehensive independent auto-testing program and reliability survey of any U.S. publication or website. What makes them so unique? We buy what we test. Other magazines and websites write about vehicles they’ve borrowed from an automaker’s press eet. We don’t take shortcuts. We put every car through more than 50 individual tests and evaluations, both at our 327acre Auto Test Center and on public roads. We don’t accept outside advertising, which means we don’t pull punches. You can trust that our reviews tell it like it is, without glossing over shortcomings that might upset car companies or advertisers. After a comprehensive test drive, you should be able to tell whether a new car’s seats are comfortable, the visibility is good, the car is noisy, and the controls are easy to master. But what a test drive can’t tell you is how reliable it’s going to be over time. By giving you the straight scoop, we can help you to make the smartest choice on which car is best for you. Oh, and the answer to the least-reliable SUV question? Turn to our in-depth reliability report, starting on page 8, to nd out!

Q . I bought a 2017 Subaru Crosstrek. On the dashboard, there is a button labeled “ES C ” that turns electronic stability control on and off. When should I turn it on, and when should I turn it off? Is it safe to leave it on all the time? Electronic stability control selectively applies the brakes to keep a car from sliding out of control when it detects a loss of traction. It signi cantly reduces Lane-departure warning is just that: It alerts drivers when they either drive on or cross over a lane line. Both lanekeeping assist and centering include some automated steering. If a driver crosses over a painted line, lane-keeping assist may actively steer the car back between the lines. Lane centering uses the steering to keep a car centered in its lane. Each automaker’s system can work di erently, so try them out during a test drive.

Q. What’s the di erence between lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and lane centering? I’m confused because I’ve seen all three terms used in advertising. Which one sounds an alert, and which one actually takes control of the car? work in stop-and-go tra c as well. Check the owner’s manual to see what the system’s limitations are.

51% The amount by which ESC reduces the risk of singlevehicle crashes, according to IIHS. Our Experts

Q . A car I want to buy advertises “adaptive cruise control.” Is this different from the cruise control I have on my 2005 car? Yes. Adaptive cruise control will apply light braking as drivers approach a vehicle traveling in the same lane in front of them. The car will then automatically accelerate back to the speed set by the driver if the car ahead either changes lanes or speeds up. Some systems work only at highway speeds, and others single-vehicle and rollover crashes, and has been required on all new vehicles since 2012. There are very few scenarios in which you would turn ESC o such as when a vehicle is stuck in mud or fresh snow. In everyday driving, always leave it on.

Q How do I know if my car has Android Auto or Apple CarPlay? Android Auto and Apple CarPlay mirror some smartphone apps— such as voice recognition, music, podcasts, and navigation—on a vehicle’s touch screen, and usually start automatically if you plug an unlocked phone into the vehicle’s USB charging port. Wireless connections are typically not supported, with a few exceptions. Some cars require a few more steps, so be sure to check your owner’s manual. Several newer cars with touch screens can be upgraded to include Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, either remotely or at a dealer. Check the Android or Apple websites or call your dealer to nd out more.

CR members ask the experts at our Auto Test Center about new safety technology, and how to tell if their car has Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. C

4 Starting Up Our experts answer your questions, leasing explained, and CR’s latest reliability survey Is a Lease Right for You? Leasing can get you a better car and a lower monthly payment, but it could also cost you more in the long run. Our experts help you decide whether you should lease or buy.

Monthly payment$419$346

wn payment/Cash due$2,000$2,000 Interest rate3.49% 2.208% (Money factor 0.00092) Amount paid af ter 3 years$16,665$14,266 Amount paid af ter 6 years$31,749 $27,937

BUYING A VEHICLE with a conventional car loan is pretty straightforward: You borrow money from a bank, credit union, or other lending institution and make monthly payments for some number of years. A chunk of each payment is interest, and the rest is principal. The higher the interest rate, the higher the payment. As you repay the principal, you build equity until—by the end of the loan—the car is all yours.

C R ORG/C ARS NEW CARS 5

As car prices rise and buyers start to demand the latest safety features that are available only on newer cars, leasing a vehicle has become a mainstream alternative to buying. In a lease, buyers make a monthly payment to drive a new car for a set term. That payment is often less than the monthly cost of nancing a new vehicle, but buyers must return the car at the end of the lease term. To nd out whether leasing is right for you, we take a look at the pros and cons. The U pside of Leasing On the surface, leasing can be more appealing than buying. Monthly payments are usually lower because you’re not paying back any principal. Instead, you’re just borrowing and repaying the di erence between the car’s value when new and the car’s residual— its expected value when the lease ends—plus nance charges. Here are the major advantages of leasing: You drive the car during its most trouble-free years. You’re always driving a late-model vehicle that’s covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, which may include free oil changes and other scheduled maintenance. A predictable monthly payment with no surprise repair costs can make it easier to stick to a household budget. You can drive a higher-priced, betterequipped vehicle than you might otherwise be able to a ord. This may allow you to opt for life-saving safety features that aren’t available on lower trims or used cars. You don’t have to worry about uctuations in the car’s trade-in value or go through the hassle of selling it when it’s time to move on. There could be signi cant tax advantages for business owners. At the end of the lease, you just drop o the car at the dealer. The Downside of Leasing As attractive as a lease may appear, there are a number of disadvantages: In the end, leasing usually costs you more than an equivalent loan, if only because you are always driving a rapidly depreciating asset. If you lease one car after another, monthly payments go on forever. By contrast, the longer you keep a vehicle after a loan is paid o , the more value you get out of it. Over the long term, the cheapest way to drive is to buy a car and Loan3-Yea Lease(s) Do ($595 acq trade-in)$27,937

D iff icu l t Co mp a rison It’s very di cult to make a fair headto-head comparison between, say, a six-year loan and the standard threeyear lease. At the point the lease ends, the bank borrower still has three years of payments to go, but the lessee has to look for another car—or perhaps take the lease’s buyout o er. A lease can also be subsidized, or “subvented.” The automaker either takes money o the top with an extra rebate just for lease deals, or it can raise the residual, or both.

An automaker may also kick in extra rebates on a lease deal—ones not available to a loan customer. In addition, the “money factor” (interest rate) on a lease may be di erent from the interest rate o ered on a loan, making an apples-toapples comparison almost impossible. If a lease’s limitations put you o , consider buying a less expensive new car or a well-maintained used car, such as a “certi ed pre-owned” vehicle from a franchised dealer, or getting a longer loan term. Last, whether you get your new car with cash, a loan, or a lease, you can save by choosing one that holds its value well, stays reliable, and gets good fuel economy.

6 NEW CARS C R ORG/C ARS Starting Up IsaLeaseRightforYou? keep it until it’s uneconomical to repair. Lease contracts specify a limited number of miles. If you go over that limit, you’ll have to pay an excess mileage penalty. That can range from 10 cents to as much as 50 cents for every additional mile, so be sure to calculate how much you plan to drive. Unfortunately, you don’t get a credit for unused miles. If you don’t maintain the vehicle in good condition, you’ll have to pay excess wear-and-tear charges when you turn it in. So if your kids are apt to go wild with the magic markers or you are a magnet for parking lot dents and dings, be prepared to pay extra. If you decide that you don’t like the car or if you can’t a ord the payments, it might cost you. You will probably be stuck with thousands of dollars in early termination fees and penalties if you get out of a lease early—and they’ll all be due at once. Those charges could equal the amount of the lease for its entireWithterm.afew exceptions, such as professional window tinting, you need to bring back the car in “as it left the showroom” condition, minus usual wear and tear, and con gured like it was when you leased it. You’re still on the hook for expendable items such as tires, which can be more expensive to replace on a better-equipped vehicle with premium wheels. An Al te rna tive to Long Loans

Some car buyers opt for longer-term car loans of six to eight years in order to get a lower monthly payment. But long loans can be risky, and these buyers might nd leasing to be a better option. Longer loans make it easy to get “upside down”—where you owe more than the vehicle is worth—and stay that way for a long time. If you need to get rid of the car early on, or if it’s destroyed or stolen, the trade-in, resale, or insurance value is likely to be less than you still owe. Indeed, buying a car with a loan is not the way to go if you want to drive a new car every couple of years.

Don’ t Fo r get to Negotia te

Taking out long-term loans and trading in early will leave you having paid so much in nance charges compared with principal that you’d be better o leasing. If you can’t pay o the di erence on an upside-down loan, you can often roll the amount you still owe into the new loan. But then you end up nancing both the new car and the remainder of your old car. If your goal is to have both low monthly payments and to drive a new vehicle every few years with little hassle, then leasing may be worth the additional cost. Be sure, however, that you can live with all of the limitations on mileage, wear and tear, and the like.

Many people assume that the monthly payment printed in a leasing ad is etched in stone. But that gure may be based on the manufacturer’s suggested retail price, which can be negotiated downward just as if you were buying theBevehicle.aware, though, that the best lease deals are available only to those with superb credit, and may only be cheap because the automaker is trying to clear the decks of slow-selling cars.

You’ll have to deal with selling or trading in your car when you decide you want a different one. Vehicle return You return the vehicle at lease-end, pay any end-of-lease costs, and walk away.

How Loans and Leases Differ Below are some of the major differences between buying and leasing. To calculate the financial difference between a loan and a lease deal, use the calculators in the Cars area of CR.org.

C R ORG/C ARS NEW CARS 7

Loan payments are usually higher than lease payments because you’re paying off the entire purchase price of the vehicle, plus interest and other finance charges, taxes, and fees. Monthly payment s Lease payments are almost always lower than loan payments because you’re paying only for the vehicle’ s depreciation during the lease term, plus interest charges (called rent charges), taxes, and fees.

The vehicle will depreciate, but its cash value is yours to use as you like. Future value On the plus side, its future value doesn’t affect you financially. On the negative side, you don’t have any equity in the vehicle.

You own the vehicle and get to keep it as long as you want it. Ownership You don’t own the vehicle. You must return it at the end of the lease, unless you decide to buy it. They include the cash price or a down payment, taxes, registration, and other fees. Up-front cost s They can include the first month’ s payment, a refund able security deposit, an acquisition fee, a down payment, taxes, registration, and other fees.

You can sell or trade in your vehicle at any time. If necessar y, money from the sale can be used to pay off any loan balance. Early termination If you end the lease early, charges can be as costly as sticking with the contract. On occasion a dealer may buy the car from the leasing company as a trade-in, letting you off the hook.

You don’t have to worr y about wear and tear, but it could lower the vehicle’s trade-in or resale value. Excessive wear and tear Most leases hold you responsible. You’ll have to pay extra charges for exceeding what is considered normal wear and tear At the end of the loan term, you have no fur ther payments and you have built equity to help pay for your next vehicle. End of term At the end of the lease (usually two to three years), you can finance the purchase of the car, or lease or buy another car.

BUYING LEASING

The vehicle is yours to modif y or customize as you like, although doing so may void your warranty. Customizing Because you must return the vehicle in salable condition, any modifications or custom parts you add have to be removed. If there is any residual damage, you’ll have to pay to have it fixed or you’ll need to file an insurance claim and pay a deductible.

You’re free to drive as many miles as you want. But keep in mind that higher mileage lowers the vehicle’ s trade-in or resale value. Mileage Most leases limit the number of miles you may drive, of ten 10,000 to 12,000 per year. (You can negotiate a higher mileage limit.) You’ll have to pay charges for exceeding your limits.

8 All-new cars and SUVs are enticing, but their reliability may leave you wincing How to Avoid the First-Year Blues Starting Up

Toyota: Lexus and Toyota again lead in CR’s predicted reliability ranking— the sixth year in a row. This year all Lexus models with su cient data were rated average or above. (We did not have su cient data on the redesigned LS sedan.) The Toyota Tacoma, however, continues to have problems with the driver system and in the transmission minor trouble spots. The redesigned 2018 Camry saw a slight drop in reliability—but only to better than average. Members said they had some problems with the Entune infotainment system, and rough shifting from the eight-speed automatic transmission. This shows that even a reliable brand such as Toyota has to work out bugs after a redesign.

Continued on page 13IMAGESGETTYPHOTO:

Genesis: The G80 had aboveaverage reliability, and the G90 was below average, with reported problems in the areas of body hardware and power equipment.

Hyundai: The Tucson SUV’s 1.6-liter turbo four-cylinder engine and sevenspeed dual-clutch transmission have been a signi cant source of trouble. The transmission su ered from rough shifting, computer problems, and slipping. The Ioniq hybrid came in below average, with owners noting rough shifts from the six-speed transmission, and engine problems.

Kia: The Sportage SUV is similar to the Tucson, but it has been much more reliable. Likewise, the Niro hybrid is similar to the Ioniq but has aboveaverage predicted reliability.

Mazda: The automaker worked out problems that plagued the CX 9 SUV and MX 5 Miata convertible. However, the CX 3 SUV is rated below average because of climate system problems.

Honda: The past few years have seen Acura —Honda’s luxury brand—add new automatic transmissions and infotainment systems, and they caused reliability headaches. These problems have been worked out on most models, although the MDX is still below average in these two areas. On the other hand, Honda’s reliability is bogged down by some of its new and redesigned models. The Odyssey minivan had much-worsethan-average reliability, with problems including the infotainment system, and door locking and unlocking. The CR V SUV and the new Accord dropped to average, with problems including the infotainment system and interior rattles.

THE RATIONALE FOR buying a new car is fairly simple: You get a vehicle that is more dependable than your old car and has the newest technolo g y and advanced safety features. But the results from Consumer Reports’ exclusive Annual Auto Survey again show that this thinking can back re if shoppers choose the wrong models. Our newest survey collected data on more than 500,000 vehicles from CR’s members, and from this data, we can let shoppers know which vehicles are likely to have troublesome turbocharged engines, infuriating infotainment systems, and taxing transmissions, among other problems. The survey reinforces our recommendation that consumers should avoid brand-new or redesigned models and wait a year or two until the automaker has had the chance to work out the kinks and headaches that often arise. Here are how the automakers performed, grouped by their traditional regions. As i an A ut o m ake r s

Subaru: The redesigned Impreza small car had problems last year, but it has rebounded with better-thanaverage reliability. The redesigned Crosstrek SUV has much-better-thanaverage rst-year reliability. The WRX sports car was the only Subaru with below-average reliability because of transmission problems.

Do m es ti c A ut o m ake r s

Ford: This brand was the best of all the domestics. The Taurus, the oldest model in Ford’s lineup, had much-better-than-average reliability. But the usually reliable Fusion dropped to below average, mainly because of problems with the Sync 3 infotainment system screen freezing. The Mustang and Explorer were worse

Nissan: The In niti brand also rebounded, with the Q50 sedan and QX60 SUV improving to average. The redesigned 2018 Nissan Leaf electric car and Maxima sedan rated above average. Two models were below average: the Titan pickup and the Versa Note. The Note’s problems included engine issues.

The new-for-2018 Stinger hatchback is average, while the Cadenza sedan came in as much worse than average, with owners reporting faulty thermostat sensors, problems with the climate system, and engine cooling.

Honda’s Clarity line of alternativefuel cars had much-worse-thanaverage reliability. Reported problems included electronic glitches.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles: Of the FCA brands, Dodge was the best. Reliability of the Charger sedan improved to better than average, and the Grand Caravan minivan was average. The Challenger coupe had problems with the transmission. The Durango and Journey SUVs had multiple problem areas. All three remained below average. Jeep had mixed results. The Grand Cherokee and Renegade SUVs improved to average, and the Cherokee and Compass SUVs had below-average reliability. While the Chrysler 300 sedan’s reliability improved to average, the Paci ca minivan fell to below average. Top issues were a frozen or blank display screen, navigation and radio problems.

Volkswagen: All the Audi models that we have su cient reliability data for rated average or better, although the scores were not as high as they’ve been in previous years. This includes the 2018 Q5 SUV, and the A5 coupe and convertible. A number of Audi sedans and SUV are being redesigned for 2019.

Tesla: The Model S sedan has dropped to below average, with suspension problems and other issues that included the extending door handle. The rst-year Model 3 sedan had average reliability, while the Model X SUV stayed much worse than average, with problems including the falcon doors and center display screen.

Cadillac remains troubled, with only the XTS sedan coming in with better-than-average reliability. The other models stayed below average, with issues related to rough shifting on the CT6 sedan and Escalade SUV, and in-car electronics on other models.

General Motors: Buick’s redesigned Enclave SUV had a much-worse-thanaverage rating, with owners reporting problems related to the new ninespeed transmission: rough shifts, the transmission computer, and the torque converter. The LaCrosse sedan, and the Encore and Envision SUVs were average.

Hyundai Santa Fe

Safet y

How I t D rives Like many vehicles equipped with four-cylinder turbo engines, the Hyundai tends to hesitate when accelerating in stop-and-go tra c or at mild cruising speed before it delivers a burst of power. This unpredictability is exaggerated by an eight-speed automatic transmission that sometimes struggles to shift smoothly, especially during around-town drives. We also rented a Santa Fe from Hyundai with a 2.4-liter engine, which we drove extensively. This less expensive nonturbo version feels smoother and has an EPA fueleconomy rating that’s 2 mpg better. We didn’t miss the turbo’s extra 50 hp in realworld driving. A diesel engine becomes available in 2019. The Santa Fe feels more taut and agile than most SUVs, with limited body roll in turns and a prompt steering response that inspires driver con dence. The ride is a touch rm, though it absorbs impacts well enough. Inside t he C a bin Unlike its predecessor, the new Santa Fe is available only as a two-row SUV. Large doors and a hip-height seat make it easy to get into. The modern interior makes use of unique materials— including a stylish headliner— that o er an upscale air. Typical of a Hyundai, the Santa Fe’s controls are simple to interpret and use. We like that the intuitive infotainment system has separate volume and tuning knobs, and that the touch screen is quick to respond to user inputs. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay come standard. Drivers of all sizes liked the wide, comfortable front seats. The backseat provides plenty of space for adults. The current three-row, longwheelbase SUV with room for seven will remain on sale and will be called the Santa Fe XL. Those who need more space can wait for the larger, eightpassenger SUV that Hyundai says will debut soon.

The Santa Fe comes with a robust list of standard advanced safety equipment, including forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot warning, rear cross-tra c warning, and lane-keeping assist. In addition, the Sante Fe o ers some unique safety features. Driver attention warning looks for signs of drowsy or distracted driving, safe exit assist warns of an approaching vehicle when opening a rear door, and rear occupant alert uses ultrasonic sensors to set o an alarm if a pet or child is left in the car.

B otto m Line The practical Santa Fe stands out thanks to new safety technolo g y, a stylish interior, and agile handling. Buyers may want to skip the turbocharged engine, however.

A compelling choice for buyers looking for small or midsized SUVs WITH ITS PRACTICAL proportions, re ned interior, and rich roster of safety equipment, the new Santa Fe is a compelling choice among two-row SUVs. We bought a 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine and all-wheel drive for testing. These are our rst impressions.

B otto m Line Although updates give the Chevy responsive acceleration, a sti ride and an uninspired interior don’t do the new Silverado any favors in its battle against the best-selling Ford F 150 and newly redesigned Ram 1500.

16 NEW CARS C R ORG/C ARS On the Road AttheTrack Once inside, we found the cabin’s t and nish to be largely ordinary, bordering on Spartan in our LT. For example, the gear selector, which is mounted on the steering column, moves with a clunkySimilarly,action.the squishy, cloth front seats lost support over longer drives, and only have two-way lumbar support. Trucks don’t have to be fancy, but we think that a nearly-$50,000 model can do better. We did like the huge rear seat, which gives passengers plenty of room to stretch out. The truck we bought also came with a handy powered liftgate that can be lowered (but not raised) with a press of a button. Some drivers found it di cult to read the small text on our truck’s infotainment system. We also missed the expanded phone and entertainment features available on higher trim levels. We did appreciate the standard Android Auto and Apple CarPlay functionality. Safet y Available advanced safety equipment includes forwardcollision warning, low-speed automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist with lanedeparture warning, rear cross-tra c warning, and blindspot warning. In comparison, Ford announced that forwardcollision warning and automatic emergency braking are standard on the F 150 for 2019. GM should also make these essential features standard.

THE NEW 2019 Silverado brings some impressive hardware to battle in the ultra-competitive full-sized truck market. Case in point: Because of some updates and a new transmission, the 5.3-liter V8 makes the truck feel quick o the line, addressing one of our chief criticisms of the dull, at-footed previous generation. But some aspects of the redesign are disappointing, including a rough ride and a seemingly less advanced new infotainment system. We just bought our own for our test eet. We look forward to pitting the new Silverado against the new Ram and seeing how they fare against CR’s current top-rated full-sized pickup, the Ford F 150. How I t D rives The Silverado’s 5.3-liter V8 engine and new eight-speed automatic transmission work superbly together. Acceleration is crisp and satisfying. The new truck weighs over 400 pounds less than the outgoing model thanks to the use of aluminum and high-strength steel. Other engine choices include a 4.3-liter V6, a 2.7-liter turbo four-cylinder, a 3.0-liter diesel, and a 6.2-liter V8. The Silverado’s handling is responsive to driver inputs and is better than the clumsy F 150. But our LT trim had a sti and snappy ride, which left us unsatis ed—especially after driving it back-to-back with the comfortable new Ram 1500. The Chevy’s suspension produces quick, abrupt motions over bumps when the bed is empty. But drivers found that the ride settled down some once they hauled 300 to 400 pounds of cargo in the 6-foot, 6-inch-long bed. The basic four-wheel-drive Silverado lacks the low-range gearing needed for serious o roading duties, but it has an Auto mode that can be left engaged inde nitely for enhanced safety on slippery surfaces. Inside t he C a bin Buyers will want to consider the optional running boards. Without them, it’s a steep climb to get into the Silverado’s cab.

THE NEW HONDA Insight sedan features conventional sedan design and got a phenomenal 54 mpg overall in our testing. Although the Insight badge was applied to odd-looking hatchbacks in the past, this new model shares much of its DNA with the Civic sedan. (The current Civic never o ered a hybridHowever,version.)aconfusing gear selector, a lack of available blind-spot warning, and odd engine noises may chase away some buyers. We bought a 2019 Honda Insight EX for testing. How I t D rives The Insight features a 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine that works with an electric motor for a combined 151 hp. Overall, this gas-electric hybrid system works well and is e cient. Drivers feel strong initial acceleration from the electric drive system, which is typical of hybrids. But when the gas engine kicks in, it reveals a gravelly hum that disrupts the Insight’s otherwise quiet cabin. The Insight’s smooth ride absorbs bumps well. Handling was not sporty, but the car felt secure even when pushed in the corners on our test track. Inside t he C a bin Front seats lack lower-back support, and the car’s low stance makes it hard to get in and out. The Touring version gets leather seats, a moonroof, and larger wheels—extras that contribute to a lower EPA fuel-economy rating. The Insight gets Honda’s cumbersome, unintuitive push-button gear selector, but at least the touch-screen infotainment system has a rotary volume knob. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay come with the EX trim and up. The hybrid battery pack doesn’t intrude on overall cargo space, and the EX and Touring versions get a 60/40split folding rear seat. Safet y All trims get the comprehensive Honda Sensing suite Insight A hybrid that saves fuel without announcing it to the world of advanced safety features standard, including forwardcollision warning, automatic emergency braking, lanedeparture warning, and lanekeeping assist. But instead of a blind-spot warning system, the Insight has Honda LaneWatch, which only displays a camera view from the right side of the vehicle.

Hybrids of All Sizes Everyone knows the iconic Toyota Prius, which gets 52 mpg overall and earns our recommendation. But there are many kinds of hybrids out there, from posh sedans all the way to a minivan—and they all sip fuel with the help of electric power. From small to large, here are some of our favorites that shoppers may have overlooked.

BEST

THE NIRO IS a genre-splitting hybrid that combines impressive fuel economy with small-SUV looks. It doesn’t match the 52 mpg rating of the Toyota Prius or the Hyundai Ioniq (with which it shares a hybrid drivetrain), but the front-wheel-drive Niro’s 43 mpg overall beats most conventional hatchbacks and small SUVs. It can cruise up to about 40 mph on electric power alone, as long as drivers have a light right foot. The 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine and hybrid electric drive deliver a 9.9-second 0 60 mph performance. The powertrain has a distinct delay, particularly during rolling starts. Although its dual-clutch transmission feels more natural than a typical hybrid’s CVT, the Niro’s shifts lackThesmoothness.Nirolumbers its way around corners with vague steering, and the ride can be uncomfortable on rough roads. There’s also elevated wind and engine noise at highway speeds. In addition to long stopping distances, the pedal feels spon g y and requires more e ort than usual to stop smoothly.It’seasy to get into the cabin, and the upright driving position means the Niro feels more like an SUV than a car. Wide front seats accommodate most drivers, but only the optional 10-way power driver’s seat o ers two-way lumbar adjustment.

The rear seat has ample room. Climate and audio controls are easy to use, and there’s even a conventional shifter. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are both available. The Niro’s cargo area isn’t large, but it will hold a few suitcases. Bulky items t with the seats folded down. Forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, blind-spot warning, and rear cross-tra c warning are available on some trims, but those important safety features also tend to push up the price.

For a modest price premium over the gas-only car, drivers get a whopping 16 mpg improvement.TheHybrid accelerates from a stop smoothly, and it’s slightly quicker to 60 mph than the standard model. Although it drives calmly around town, push the gas pedal hard and you’ll get a loud response from the fourcylinder gas engine as it revs, seemingly out of sync with the car’s actual speed. Just as with the gas-only Accord, the Hybrid strikes a happy compromise between capable handling and familyfriendly ride comfort. Its steering is well-weighted, and the suspension nicely controls body lean through corners. Other than some tire noise over coarse pavement, it’s quiet inside the cabin. And the brakes—typically grabby in hybrids—feel almost as natural as in the regular Accord. The sedan’s low stance makes it a bit hard to get in and out, but the front seats are roomy and comfortable with four-way power lumbar support standard on all but the base trim. The rear seat has plenty of legroom, but the sloping roo ine compromises headroom for taller folks.

THE AVALON HYBRID boasts unrivaled fuel e ciency and ride quality among large sedans. A 2019 redesign moves the Avalon upscale, and it’s now a practical alternative to higher-priced luxury cars. The hybrid powertrain delivers an impressive 42 mpg overall, and that electric assist helps the Avalon accelerate immediately from a stop. Merging and passing maneuvers cause the engine to work hard, however, and those revs are accompanied by a boisterous soundtrack. The Avalon’s ride absorbs road imperfections and coddles passengers in ways that some more expensive luxury models can’t match. But the car is still agile, with limited body lean and responsive steering when takingDespitecorners.theAvalon’s size, it can be a challenge to get in because of the car’s low roof and oor. Pampering touches, such as soft materials, wood trim accents, and detailed stitching, help distinguish the spacious cabin. The front seats are roomy and supportive, and the left footrest and padded armrests contribute to comfort. The low dash aids forward visibility. Some taller drivers wished for more steeringwheel telescope range. The backseat has generous legroom, but our taller testers found their headroom limited. Rear passengers in high-end trims get heated seats and two USB ports. The Avalon’s user-friendly controls may be reason enough to choose it over a Lexus, though the touch screen is too far away for some drivers to reach.

THE PACIFICA HYBRID is the rst and only electri ed minivan sold in the U.S. In our tests, this plug-in hybrid van delivered 29 miles of electric-only driving. Once the initial charge is gone, it reverts to standard hybrid operation, which we measured at 27 mpg overall. Power delivery is smooth and pleasant. The welltuned suspension keeps the Hybrid’s body from bobbing up and down, and insulates passengers from most bumps. We enjoyed the quiet interior, with the only blemish being the coarse engine sound under heavy acceleration. The Hybrid seats only seven passengers, and it doesn’t get Chrysler’s slick Stow ‘n Go second-row seating, which allows the seats to fold into the oor. Owners have to remove the second-row captain’s chairs instead to expand cargo room. However, those seats are far more comfortable than the Stow ’n Go ones. And having only two secondrow seats creates a handy aisle to get to the third row. Passengers taking refuge back there won’t mind sitting on the wide, roomy bench. There is abundant storage space, with drawers and cubbies lling the center console, plenty of cup holders for the rear passengers, and ample room for luggage behind the raised third row. The Touring L and Limited have swanky stitched, padded materials and leather. A large panoramic sunroof is optional on the Limited. The optional Uconnect 8.4 touch-screen infotainment system remains a benchmark for ease of use. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are available. But the Paci ca’s reliability rating has dropped to below average, which prevents us from recommending it. We dislike that only the top Limited trim can be tted with the optional forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking. This forces buyers to spend nearly $46,000 to get that vital safety equipment.

27 New Small SUVs Move over, sedans—buyers have been flocking to SUVs. These latest compact versions may appear to offer the space, practicality, and ride height drivers love, but when we put them to the test, we found some small SUVs that are a lot better than others. IMAGESGETTYPHOTO:

THE KONA IS playful and inexpensive, which makes it one of the more appealing subcompact SUVs. Snazzy styling helps the Kona stand out from its more drab rivals, and smart packaging allows a versatile interior despite its smallThesize.Kona is more fun to drive than many of its competitors, thanks to sharp re exes and responsive handling, although it su ers from many problems that plague other subcompact SUVs. It has a sti ride and a loud cabin, and the engine makes a noisy protest when pushed to accelerate. We opted for the standard 2.0-liter engine and sixspeed automatic transmission. In most situations this combination delivered adequate power, but accelerating from 0 to 60 mph took a long 11 seconds, which means highway merges and passing maneuvers will require some forethought. We measured 26 mpg overall in our fuel-economy tests typical for this class. An available 1.6-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder is more powerful, but acceleration feels uneven, and there can be some hesitation when pulling away from a stop. It’s easy for drivers to enter the cabin and settle into the Kona’s comfortable front seats. An a ordable option package adds a power driver’s seat with two-way adjustable lumbar support. Although room in back is tight, the rear seat can t two adults. The cabin’s ambience is rather basic, which is to be expected at the Kona’s low base price, but panels and trim pieces feel sturdy and well put together. We like the easy-to-use climate controls, and the infotainment system comes with a large screen and welllabeled buttons. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility are standard. For 2019, forward-collision warning and automatic emergency braking are standard across all trims.

The Kicks is pleasant to drive around town, and its CVT mimics the feel of a traditional automatic transmission. Overall fuel economy is a superb 32 However,mpg.the Kicks doesn’t live up to its sporty name. Our testers complained that its 125-hp engine felt strained when passing and merging, and unleashed unpleasantly loud noises under heavy acceleration. Its handling was mushy in corners, with noticeable body lean. Steering felt vague and imprecise. Although the ride gets choppy on rough roads, the Kicks’ overall comfort is on a par with similarly priced vehicles. For those who live in the snow belt, the Kicks’ biggest drawback is that it comes with front-wheel drive only. The a ordable Kicks may lack the personality of the funky-looking Juke that it replaces, but its practicality shines. Even though the exterior dimensions are small, there’s plenty of room inside—especially in the Kicks’ rear seat and cargo area. Wind and road noise are minimal.

JEEP REFRESHED THE Cherokee for 2019, giving it new headlights, additional creature comforts, and an optional turbocharged fourcylinder engine. Although the updates may look great on paper, the compact Jeep doesn’t do so well on asphalt. The Cherokee is available with all-wheel drive and comes with three engine options. The base 2.4-liter four-cylinder is slow and returns lousy fuel economy for the class. A new 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine was good for swift acceleration during our track tests, but it feels hesitant in real-world driving, especially in stop-and-go tra c. The V6 engine costs $400 less than the turbo four, and is quieter and more re ned. No matter which engine you choose, the Cherokee’s standard nine-speed automatic transmission isn’t smooth when it shifts, and it’s slow to react when the driver demands more power. Handling isn’t particularly responsive. The Cherokee is slow to react to steeringwheel inputs, and the ride is sti over bumps. The rear seat is especially roomy, and an updated center console opens up more storage space up front. The cabin also got more premium materials for 2019. We like Jeep’s intuitive and well-labeled climate and audio function controls. The Uconnect touch-screen infotainment system is especially easy to use, and Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are standard. Various adjustable modes can alter the AWD system for better traction on various surfaces, such as mud and snow. The Trailhawk version has a raised ride height and added visual e ects. However, the Cherokee is not the kind of Jeep that’s designed for rock climbing. Unfortunately, buyers can get important safety equipment such as automatic emergency braking only if they opt for a top-level trim and add an option package.

MITSUBISHI’S LATEST SUV, the Eclipse Cross, sits between the automaker’s Outlander Sport and the larger Outlander. Although it has eye-catchingly angular styling, compact SUV shoppers should check out other new and used SUVs before considering this unre ned o ering. The 1.5-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder has enough power around town, but it feels overworked and sounds loud when climbing hills or merging onto highways. The continuously variable transmission (CVT) attempts to mimic the operation of a traditional automatic with faux “shifts,” but those can feelTherough.Eclipse Cross isn’t an agile handler, either, lumbering through turns with considerable body lean and overly light steering. The suspension absorbs most bumps pretty well, but the small SUV can get unsettled on uneven roads. The squishy front seats lacked comfort on long drives, and adjustable lumbar support isn’t available. The rear seat can slide forward or back and has plenty of room for adults, but cargo space is small for the class. The driver sits high, with a commanding view forward. However, the SUV’s sloped hatch and thick back pillars limit visibility out the sides and back, which make lane-change and parking maneuvers di cult.

The nicky infotainment system is distracting to use. Whether drivers use the faraway touch screen or the nicky touchpad, they must navigate small text menus and multistep processes to complete even basic tasks.

Speed Rating denotes a tire ’ s maximum speed when carr ying the load defined by the load index. Braking tests on ice are from 10 mph; on dr y and wet pavement, from 60 mph. Handling for many tires combines how well a tire performed in wet and dr y cornering grip or the wet-handling test, steering feel, and an emergency handling maneuver Hydroplaning resistance denotes a tire ’ s ability to resist skimming along the surface of standing water Snow traction tests denote how far a vehicle has to travel to accelerate from 5 to 20 mph on flat, packed snow Ride and Noise are evaluated subjectively on rough and smooth roads. Rolling resistance, as measured by a dynamometer, is a factor in fuel economy. Tested tread life indicates wear potential based on our 16,000or 20,000-mile vehicle driving test.

Batteries are grouped by physical size, type and placement of the terminals, and mounting style. The batter y will fit its tray and the leads will connect properly if you replace your batter y with one from the same group. Group numbers are usually printed on the batteries themselves. A used car may have the wrong size installed, so check your owner’s manual.

For information on safety and crash tests, see page 190. Survey results include predicted reliability, our forecast of how well a new car is likely to hold up based on its recent history from our Annual Auto Survey. The survey includes owner satisfaction, which is based on the percentage of CR members who say they would de nitely buy or lease their vehicle again. Reliability and owner satisfaction predictions for new or redesigned models are based on history from the manufacturer and the previous generation, as well as our knowledge of similar models. To learn more, go to CR.org/reliability. Road-test score is based on results from more than 50 objective and subjective tests and evaluations per formed at our 327-acre Auto Test Center in central Connecticut. Overall mpg is the overall miles per gallon a vehicle achieved in Consumer Reports’ fuel-economy tests, re ecting a mix of city and highway driving. High and lows give a quick summary of a model’s notable strengths and weaknesses.

Key to the Ratings Vehicles are divided by category and ranked according to their Overall Score. Some models are included in multiple categories, as appropriate. Sometimes we also include vehicles that are viable alternatives to those in a speci c category. Recommended vehicles are those that meet Consumer Reports’ stringent testing, reliability, and safety standards. To earn our recommendation, noted with a !, vehicles must do well in our Overall Score within their category. LABS

1 . Reco mm ended Veh i cles These are the vehicles that did well in CR’s Overall Score within their category. The score includes Consumer Reports’ stringent testing, reliability, and safety standards. These vehicles must perform well in our testing, have average or better reliability, and perform adequately if included in safety tests conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration 2 . Model-L i ne Info rm a ti on Base price is the range of the manufacturer’s base suggested retail price (MSRP) without options or destination charge for all versions of the model. An “E” indicates the price is estimated Models often come in various body styles and trim lines, which are versions that differ mainly in standard equipment, available options, and price. A dash (—) means that only one trim line was available. Pickup trucks are listed by available cab configurations. Drive wheels tells you whether the model is available with front-, rear-, all-wheel drive (AWD), or four wheel drive (4WD). Seating is the max number of passengers who can be accommodated. Some models are available with different seating configurations; this figure is for the version with the most passenger capacity. Engines and transmissions show the different drivetrain choices. 3 . Fac t s and F i g ur es Exterior dimensions are the vehicle’ s basic measurements. Length is measured from bumper to bumper Width is measured from the outermost side of one fender to the opposite fender Height is measured from the top of the inside door frame to the ground Wheelbase is the distance from the center of the front wheel to the center of the rear Weight and % weight front/rear are measured on our scales. Some data come from manufacturers. Max load includes occupants Ratings Key 1 3 4 2 and luggage, and is specified by the manufacturer or calculated from the difference between the manufacturer’s specified gross vehicle weight and our tested vehicle weight. Cargo volume for minivans, SUVs, and wagons is the maximum usable cargo volume, measured using an expandable pipe-frame box that’ s adjusted to fit the cargo area with rear seats folded down or removed. Data for models with a trunk come from government figures. No volume is given for pickup trucks. Towing capacity is the maximum weight our tested vehicle can pull on a trailer or a typical weight. Fuel gives the recommended types for all the models’ engines. CR overall mpg is the mileage from our tested engines for a mix of city and highway driving, given in a range if there are multiple versions tested EPA combined mpg is the mix of city and highway mileage figures issued by the Environmental Protection Agency for a typical engine. It is used if CR has not tested that model. 4 . Ove r all Sco r e This accounts for a vehicle’ s performance in our road tests, results from our reliability and owner-satisfaction surveys, the availability of a frontalcrash prevention system, and, if applicable, results from crash tests by government and insuranceindustry test facilities. We deduct points from the Overall Score if a vehicle’s transmission gear selector lacks fail-safes. A range of scores indicates that we have tested several versions. Untested vehicles will have an NA for overall score. Predicted reliability is our forecast of how well a model is likely to hold up, derived from CR’ s Annual Auto Survey, which garnered responses on more than half a million vehicles. Owner satisfaction also comes from CR’s Annual Auto Survey, in which we asked owners whether they would definitely buy or lease their particular vehicle again Road-test score is the final tally from our more than 50 tests. Some tests—such as those for acceleration, braking, and fuel economy—are objective, instrumented tests. Subjective tests, which are graded by our experts, evaluate seat comfort, ride quality, and ease of use of controls. Front-crash prevention identifies whether a vehicle has frontalcrash prevention features, such as forward-collision warning and automatic emergency braking at city and/or highway speeds. NA means no such system is offered, and Opt. means it’ s available on some versions but not necessarily on the one we tested. Models with standard systems are rated from 3 to 5 based on how many of these features are standard

The chart here shows the average rates of problems in each trouble spot by model year for all vehicles in CR’s Annual Auto Survey. This is the basis for the Reliability History charts. For example, in 2016, 3 percent of vehicles had In-Car Electronics problems on average. The 2016 Ford Edge (facing page), scores a 1 (Much Worse Than Average), because 6.2 percent of them had a problem in this area. In 2016, the average rate of problems in the Paint/Trim trouble spot was 1 percent. Since 0.5 percent of 2016 Edges were reported to have a problem in this category, it has a score of 5 (Much Better Than Aver Becaage).se high-mileage cars tend to encounter more problems than low mileage cars, problem rates are standardized to C ars ude Engine, major Engine rebuild or replacement, cylinder head, head gasket, turbo or supercharger, timing chain or timing belt.

What the Trouble Spots Incl

To see how a 2019 model on sale is likely to hold up, look at the New Car Prediction at the bottom of each chart. For this Rating, we averaged a model’s Used Car Verdict for the newest three years, provided the vehicle did not change signi cantly in that time and hasn’t been redesigned for 2019. Several model years’ data are a better predictor than the single most recent model year. One or two years’ data may be used if the model was redesigned in 2018 or 2017, or if there were insu cient data for more years. We include a prediction for a new or redesigned model based on its reliability history or the manufacturer’s track record. To see a model’s individual strengths and weaknesses, look at the scores in the Trouble Spots, which are based on the percentage of respondents who reported problems in each trouble spot compared with the average model for that year. Models that score a 1 are not necessarily unreliable, but have a higher rate of problems than the average model. Similarly, models that score a 5 are not necessarily problem-free, but had relatively few problems compared with other models. Because problem rates in some trouble spots are very low, we do not assign a 1 or a 2 unless the model’s problem rate exceeds 3 percent. If a problem rate is below 2 or 1 percent, it will be assigned a 4 or a 5,

The 2.4-liter, four-cylinder engine, coupled to an eight-speed automated manual transmission, works well at full steam but suffers from frequent clunks and hesitations in ordinary drives. The transmission makes the car hesitate when starting up from a stop. Once underway, it is reluctant to downshift, making the car feel lethargic when you need power. The stiff, jumpy ride, and mundane, though secure, handling aren’t be f itting of a luxury compact sedan. Road noise is incessant. The infotainment system is convoluted and overly distracting. Advanced safety features are standard but blind spot warning is optional. For 2019 Acura has dropped the price, updated the exterior styling, and switched to the dual-screen infotainment system.

The third-generation RDX has given up the previous model’s V6 engine in favor of a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. It’s an energetic pow ertrain once it gets past its initial hesitation. We got 22 mpg overall. The RDX is enjoyable to drive. It feels lively and engaging, and has nimble handling. We did, however, f ind the controls to be extremely distracting. They use a touch pad to interact with the center screen. That forces drivers to divert their attention from the road. The RDX is also saddled with a cumbersome push-button gear selector. The seats are comfortable and interior room is on par with the class. All RDXs come standard with the AcuraWatch safety system, which includes forward-collision warning and automatic emergency braking; blind-spot warning is optional. all Sco 77

Ac ura RLX Acura’s large sedan has been freshened recently, gaining a new 10-speed automatic and styling updates. Still, it falls well short of its competitors and misses some of the key attributes that make up a luxury sedan. The ride is unsettled, undermining the car’s main mission. Lack of handling agility makes the car feel ungainly. A high point is the smooth, responsive 310-hp V6 engine. Our tested frontwheel-drive model averaged 23 mpg overall with the old six-speed automatic transmission. The pricey all-wheel-drive hybrid gets an EPA-rated 28 mpg combined. The spacious cabin is well-made, but it isn’t particularly luxurious and the complicated controls serve as an ergonomics lesson in what not to do.

turbo four-cylinder engine is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and provides punchy acceleration even in the all-wheel-drive version. The f irm ride absorbs most bumps, but it’s less plush than many competitors. Fuel economy at 27 mpg overall is among the best in the class. The attractive interior has matte wood and nicely textured surfaces, but some switchgear is cheap. The convoluted infotainment system is distracting to use. Seat comfort is compromised by a short cushion and limited range of adjustments, and the cabin isn’t as quiet

Au d i A3 Audi’s A3 is a compelling entry-level luxury car, but it lacks some expected features for its price, and the interior, although well-made, feels austere. It’s solid and quiet, and has a drum-tight body structure. Crisp handling and a f irm, controlled ride make the A3 enjoyable to drive. We tested it with the now-discontinued 1.8liter engine, which delivered a respectable 27 mpg in our tests. The cabin is quiet, and the front seats are comfortable and supportive. The rear seat, however, is tight. It takes a bit of time to get used to the MMI infotainment system, but it ultimately proves to be logical. It’s easy to hit $40,000 with just a few options.

That, however, doesn’t mean it’s fun to live with on a daily basis. Positioned to compete with high-end and sporty SUVs such as the Audi Q5, BMW X3, and Porsche Macan, the Stelvio falls a bit short on the re f inement and luxury quotients. The standard engine is a punchy 280-hp, 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder that gets 24 mpg overall on premium. The ride is a bit jittery, but the suspension absorbs bumps rather well. Among constant annoyances are a driving position with a limited range of seat adjustments and controls that are not user-friendly enough. Like the Giulia, the parking sensors are too sensitive, going off constantly in an urban environment. Rear and side visibility are wanting, and the cargo hold is modest.

The TT coupe and convertible use a 220-hp, 2.0-liter fourcylinder engine, while the TTS features a 292-hp version. The six-speed automated manual transmission swaps gears quickly, but some vibration is noticeable at very low speeds. The car feels nimble and entertaining, diving into corners with enthusiasm and a dash of steering feedback. The ride is quite f irm but not punishing, and noise is kept at bay. Inside the snug interior is Audi’s digital instrument panel, which incorporates all gauges and displays, and eliminates the center-dash screen.

Lower and wider than the 3 Series, the plush and comfortable 4 Series is more of a grand touring car rather than a pure sports car. Yet it is quite capable. Handling is lithe, the ride is steady, and the interior is luxuriant. The turbocharged, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine is sparing with fuel; th e 3.0-liter, six-cylinder turbo is supersmooth and delivers effort less punch, which makes the 440i a treat to drive. All-wheel drive is optional. The convertible version uses a retractable hardtop that can be operated at slow speeds. The ultra-high-performance M4 is a track-ready version.

The China-built Envision uses a smooth and quiet 252-hp, 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder originally mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. For 2019 the turbo engine is paired to a nine-speed automatic. Handling is clumsy, but the Envision is ultimately secure when pushed to its limits. Oddly, the ride is a mixed bag, both soft and unsettled at the same time. The interior is well-f inished and features a relatively roomy rear seat. Buick’s optional suite of active safety equipment includes forward-collision warning and lane-departure mitigation systems, as well as automatic braking. A less-expensive 2.5-liter four-cylinder and front-wheel-drive versions are available. The Envision’s 2019 update addressed some of the SUV’s initial shortcomings.

It has a well-f inished, quiet cabin and a ride that’s better than a number of larger SUVs. On the downside, the Encore’s little 1.4-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine and six-speed automatic transmission combine to deliver plodding acceleration and just fair fuel economy. We got just 23 mpg overall in our tests. In addition, the Encore is expensive, making it a questionable value. The Encore’s tidy size makes it easy to maneuver, and its handling is sound but unexceptional. The interior is narrow and cramped, and the swoopy styling intrudes on the view out of the back.

Cadillac’s flagship large sedan got a facelift, new engines, and new infotainment for 2019. The CT6 is athletic and lively to drive. While the ride is f irm, the CT6 is steady and controlled, and the interior is very quiet. The base engine is a turbocharged four-cylinder. Most buyers will opt for the midlevel nonturbo V6. All-wheel drive is standard on versions with V6 and V8 engines. The interior is plush and roomy, but in-cabin storage is practically nonexistent. Front-seat comfort is superb, but the rear seat is short on thigh support. The CT6’s Super Cruise driver-assistance system operates on freeways and monitors the driver to make sure he or she is paying attention. New for 2019, the V Sport and Platinum trims get a V8 trims, and the Cue infotainment system gets updates that includes a rotary controller. A plug-in hybrid version with an estimated 30 miles of EV range is also available.

The XTS is roomy, luxurious, and quiet inside, with comfortable seats. It comes as either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. But the ride feels too ordinary for a luxury car, and handling isn’t sporty. The 3.6-liter V6 engine lacks f inesse, mostly because of its coarse sound when prodded. Still, it ultimately performs well and returned a respectable 22 mpg overall when we tested it with the six-speed automatic transmission. The unintuitive Cue infotainment system is frustrating to use, and the high rear deck impedes the view out the back. A V Sport version with a twin-turbo, 3.6-liter engine gives the XTS V8-like power.

With 200 electri f ied horses on tap, the Bolt accelerates with gusto. A full charge takes 10 hours on a 240-volt connector, but with a 250-mile range according to our measurement, you rarely have to fully charge the Bolt. The Bolt is very quiet, but the ride can get choppy. Controls take some getting used to, including the unintuitive gear selector.

The manual shifter has light, precise throws. Base models use a 275hp, turbo four-cylinder engine, and the 3.6-liter V6 makes 335 hp. For the SS, Chevrolet dropped in the ferocious 6.2-liter V8 from the Corvette. All use a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic (the SS gets a 10-speed auto for 2019). Visibility all around is atrocious, and rear-seat room is extremely tight.

In tests we found the sedan to be quiet, with a comfortable ride and responsive handling. Two four-cylinder turbo engines are offered: a 1.5-liter with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) for 2019. When we tested the 1.5liter turbo with a six-speed automatic, we got 29 mpg in our tests. The second more powerful and re f ined 2.0-liter turbo is backed by a nine-speed automatic. A hybrid, utilizing some of the Chevrolet Volt’s technolo g y, is also available. It got an impressive 41 mpg overall in our tests. Up front is a roomy, comfortable cockpit and an updated version of Chevrolet’s MyLink infotainment system. But the cloth seats are a bit short on support.

Yet the Spark isn’t very frugal at just 33 mpg overall. Handling is very responsive, but the overly sensitive steering makes the Spark a bit too responsive at highway speeds, and the ride is unyieldingly stiff. Inside, the driver has a commanding view out. But the rear seat is very tight and is best for just two occupants.

GM’s second-generation electric car with a backup gas engine is much improved. It is quicker and quieter, rides more comfortably, and has easier-to-use controls. It can run on electricity for only 50 miles, at which point the engine kicks in to extend the range. It takes 4.5 hours to recharge the car using a 240-volt connection. We got 38 mpg in gas mode. This 1.5-liter engine acts as a generator, which eliminates the range anxiety common to electric-only vehicles. Visibility remains limited, and the rear seat is cramped and awkward to get into. However, the infotainment system is among the best. The Volt’s tepid heat makes the heated seats and steering wheel must-have features. all

To its credit, this quasi-wagon responds eagerly in corners and handles securely at its limit, and provides impressive interior space for its size, along with good visibility, super-easy cabin access, and a commendable 27 mpg overall from the 1.4-liter turbo engine. Fortunately, Fiat has dropped the dual-clutch transmission we tested and now equips the 500L with a conventional six-speed automatic.

Both turbo V6s are quiet and effortless, lending themselves to towing. Fuel economy is commendable. In our tests the 2.7 got 19 mpg overall. The 2.7 is also surprisingly quick from 0 to 60 mph. A diesel engine is also available, and a hybrid is on the horizon. The cabin is very quiet, but the ride is stiff and jittery. Handling is ponderous but ultimately secure.

Power comes from a 5.3-liter V8 and a six-speed automatic that returns 16 mpg and feels slightly sluggish. It’s too bad that you have to opt for the expensive Denali version to get the Magnetic Ride Control suspension, which improves ride comfort and handling response.

The plug-In hybrid is the most practical version for everyday use, and has a 48-mile all-electric range before the gas engine kicks in. It takes 2.5 hours to recharge with a 240-volt charger, and 12 hours on 120 volts. The car works well in electriconly mode, but in hybrid mode, the engine makes a loud ruckus. The ride is comfortable, but its handling is rather clumsy. The cabin is roomy but the front seats are uncomfortable because of their short bottom cushion and lack of lower back support. Forward-collision warning and automatic emergency braking are standard, but there is no true blind spot detection system that covers both sides.

The Civic is a substantial and capable compact car. The base 2.0liter engine and optional 1.5-liter turbo both deliver good fuel economy, with the turbo bringing more oomph and readily available power. The continuously variable transmission ampli f ies the noise of the base engine; it works better with the turbo. The ride is comfortable, handling is precise, and the interior has a lot of storage space. However, the car’s low stance means occupants must do the limbo to get in and out. In addition, the front seats lack adjustable lumbar support, which could cause discomfort. We found Honda’s infotainment system to be unintuitive on most trims. The Sport version is available as a coupe or practical four-door hatchback; the Si version is a performance bargain. The 306-hp Type-R is a track-ready, highperformance version.

Honda Fit The Honda Fit subcompact hatchback has always been an appealing urban runabout. Thanks to its clever multi-con f igurable seating, the Fit delivers versatility similar to that of a small SUV. The Fit gets great fuel economy at 33 mpg overall. But that comes with excessive noise when the continuously variable transmission keeps the engine at high revs. Handling is responsive, but the Fit has a stiff ride. On top of that, the cabin is loud, making the Fit un f it for long drives. Opting for the EX brings a sunroof and paddle shifters; the EX L includes heated leather seats.

The uplevel 1.6-liter turbo is more powerful but power delivery is not as smooth or predictable. Nimble handling makes the Kona feel very responsive in corners. The ride, however, is stiff and the cabin gets loud due to road and engine noise. The controls are super easy to use.

Jag u a r F-Pace Jaguar’s compact SUV shares its rear-wheel-drive platform with the XE and XF. The F Pace is quick, thanks to its 340-hp, supercharged 3.0-liter V6, but the omnipresent engine drone quickly becomes tiring. The S uses a 380-hp version of this engine. A 2.0-liter turbo is now the base engine, and a diesel is also available. A smooth eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive are standard. The taut and nimble F Pace is one of the best-handling SUVs, contributing to the lively driving experience. However, the ride is stiff and choppy. The seats are comfortable, but interior quality doesn’t match some competitors. The infotainment system is behind the times, utilizing a slow and fussy touch screen.

The XF is the sportiest midsized luxury sedan. It’s taut and agile, with lively steering, yet possesses a supple and composed ride. The 340-hp supercharged V6 is punchy but may have too much of a growling sound for a luxury car. A more powerful 380-hp version is also available. We got 21 mpg overall with our all-wheel-drive XF. The front and rear seats are very comfortable, and the trunk is large. But interior ambience is a bit austere for a Jaguar, and the standard infotainment system is slow and somewhat fussy. The air-conditioning system is rather wimpy. Also available are a 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine, and a wagon version called Sportbrake with a 380-hp V6 supercharged engine and all-wheel drive. Automatic emergency braking and blind-spot warning are optional. all Sco 57

The freshened Jeep Cherokee SUV adds a new turbocharged fourcylinder engine in addition to the base underpowered and thirsty 2.4-liter and the smoother 3.2-liter V6. But that new turbo engine suffers from a signi f icant delay, particularly from a rolling start and the transmission is neither smooth nor responsive. We got 23 mpg overall with the new engine. Handling is cumbersome but the car remains under control when pushed. The ride is stiff and the coarse engine noise mars an otherwise quiet cabin. The rear seat is roomy, and controls are intuitive with the optional larger infotainment screen. Limited trims can be f itted with high-end amenities. The Trailhawk features off-road motifs mostly for looks. Available safety systems require buyers invest in an option package or step up a couple trim levels.

The Rio is one of the better subcompact cars, but it’s still basic transportation. It is a loud car, with a stiff ride and leisurely acceleration from its 1.6-liter engine. We got 33 mpg overall in our tests. That’s good, but many more-substantial compact cars also achieve that mileage. The Rio’s ride doesn’t soften most bumps, and the car moves in choppy motions over uneven roads. We found the Rio has safe, competent handling. The interior is basic, the front seats are short on support, and the rear seat is tight, but the easy to use controls are a high point. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility only comes on the EX trim, which is the only trim where the advanced safety features come standard (they’re not even available on other trims). Because the EX trim is close to the price of a compact car, it’s another reason not to buy the Rio.

Instead, the Discovery Sport struggles in comparisons against even mass-market small SUVs. Power delivery from the turbo four-cylinder is spiky, with either too little or too much acceleration, and the transmission is neither smooth nor responsive. The Sport proved capable off-road, commendably ascending our rock hill. But the on-road ride is stiff, and handling is far from sporty.

The IS interior is generally well-f inished, but it has room for improvement, especially the tight driver’s cockpit. All-wheel-drive versions have a pronounced hump by the driver’s right leg.

The 4.6liter V8 engine and six-speed automatic make for a slick powertrain but got a paltry 17 mpg overall. Handling is lumbering but ultimately secure. The ride is very comfortable, especially at low speeds, although the body tends to jostle when driving over uneven pavement. Inside, the cabin is plush and well-f inished. Drivers of almost any height should f ind a good driving position. There’s plenty of space all around and a commanding view out.

It gets a revamped grille that’s very similar to the brand’s flagship Continental sedan. Engine choices are both turbocharged: a 335-hp, 2.7-liter V6 or a 245-hp, 2.0-liter four-cylinder; both have standard stop/start functionality, An eight-speed automatic transmission is standard. The 3.7-liter V6 that the MKX used to offer is no longer available. Lincoln has added new safety features, including a lanecentering feature and evasive steer assist, which allows the SUV to steer around a vehicle stopped in front if the system determines a collision is likely and can’t be avoided by braking alone. The outgoing MKX is a quiet, re f ined, and high-tech vehicle that is fun to drive and has a composed ride. The biggest knock against the MKX is its rather unimpressive fuel economy of 18 mpg overall.

The Ferrari-developed V6 turbo is mated to an eight-speed automatic. We tested the S Q4 allwheel-drive version, which had a 404-hp V6. Handling is sporty and agile, the brakes are strong, and the engine emits a thrilling bark. But the stiff ride can grow fatiguing, the rear seat is cramped, and the Ghibli is louder than most sporty luxury sedans. Climbing into or out of this low-slung sports sedan can be a challenge. The interior is out f itted with high-quality leather and suede, and most controls are easy to use, except for the unintuitive shifter. Chrysler’s Uconnect touch screen is a plus, but it’s hard not to notice some cheap-looking switches, sourced from the Chrysler parts bins. The V6 turbo engine gained 20 hp recently.

Most mainstream sedans, let alone a typical Mercedes-Benz, deliver a better experience than the CLA. The engine and transmission lack re f inement. At f irst the powertrain feels unresponsive, then the power comes on abruptly. The ride is punishingly stiff, and the CLA is loud inside. Cabin access is dif f icult, and the well-appointed interior is cramped. The heavily promoted base price is something of a tease; buyers need to spend a lot on options to get the luxury features expected on a premium model. Prices can crest the $50,000 range for the 375-hp AMG CLA45 version, which sounds more exciting on paper than it feels behind the wheel. The CLA’s best attributes are its handling agility and the 28 mpg overall we got from the 2.0-liter, turbo fourcylinder engine.

Though it’s relatively roomy, the depressing cabin feels drab, cheap, and insubstantial. In the end, there is no compelling reason to buy a Mirage, and, for the money, there are many much better used cars for the same price.

For the f irst time, the Altima is offered with all-wheel drive. The base 2.5-liter engine sees power climb to 188 horses. The V6 has been supplanted by a new 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine rated at 248 hp. Both engines are coupled to a continuously variable transmission. The interior is dominated by a standard 8-inch touch screen, which includes Android Auto and Apple CarPlay capabilities. Owners can remote lock/unlock the car and start/stop the engine from their wrist with Android Wear and Apple Watch. The 2019 Altima comes equipped with standard forward-collision warning and automatic emergency braking. Other driver assist features, including ProPilot Assist, are optional.

Despite the name, when it comes to driving it’s not exactly a sporty SUV. Handling isn’t that nimble, and acceleration is just adequate. In addition to the 2.0-liter engine, a more powerful 2.4-liter, four-cylinder engine is available. The Sport’s choppy ride and very noisy cabin further detract from the driving experience. Still, it has a commanding seating position, as well as passenger and cargo versatility. Top-trim all-wheel-drive versions can get expensive enough that the Outlander Sport starts to compete with better SUVs.

N i ssan Fron ti e r Dating back to 2005, the compact Frontier pickup truck shares a platform with the discontinued Xterra SUV and the previousgeneration full-sized Titan pickup. In our tests we found the Frontier to be quick and relatively nimble, with a stiff though tolerable ride. The strong 4.0-liter V6 revved smoothly and felt very strong, but fuel economy was a decidedly unimpressive 15 mpg overall. A 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine powers base models. Only crew- and extendedcab body styles are offered, but rear-seat room is tight even in the crew cab. A model with a longer pickup bed is available, but the tailgate is very heavy.

Handling is clumsy, with slow steering and pronounced body roll, but it’s ultimately secure. Inside, the spacious cabin has a premium feel, particularly in Platinum trim.

The regular Titan is more pleasant to drive than the Titan XD (Extra Duty), which has a clumsy ride and the handling similar to a heavyduty pickup. The light-duty Titan comes with a smooth and punchy gas 5.6-liter V8 that is mated to a slick and responsive seven-speed automatic transmission, while the XD also offers a V8 Cummins diesel. The ride is more tolerable than the XD’s, and handling is less clumsy. The roomy cabin has a variety of handy storage places, and the rear tailgate is damped, which is a nice touch.

Po r sche 718 B oxs te r Porsche’s roadster offers turbocharged 2.0- and 2.5-liter four-cylinder engines, replacing the previous Sixes. Most 718s come with a seven-speed automated manual, which impersonates a manually shifted gearbox quite well. A manual transmission is also available. Chopping off two cylinders brought more readily available power and a throaty thrum, but at the expense of Porsche’s high-revving zing. Handling is superlative, with impressive grip and balance, which make the car super-responsive and fun to drive. The ride is very f irm but not too punishing. The cabin has a premium ambience, but the button overload takes getting used to. Opening or closing the well-insulated power top takes 10 seconds, even on the move up to 43 mph.

The Z’s well-f inished interior is cramped, and visibility is lousy. The radio and climate controls are very low, and their labels are small.

However, the ride is very stiff and choppy, and the rear seat sits uncomfortably low. The controls are very distracting, since many simple tasks, such as adjusting the mirrors, require spending time interacting with the large touch screen. The Autopilot suite of driver-assistance features can maintain the car’s speed and keep it in its lane, but it isn’t designed to react to all driving conditions, so drivers must remain constantly engaged.

It features rear doors that open up and out of the way, giving easy access to the second-row seats. But these massive doors take their time to open and close. The huge windshield extends up and over the frontseat occupants, making the cabin feel airy and futuristic. Buyers can opt for a f ive-, six-, or seven-passenger seating con f iguration, but unlike in every other SUV, the second row doesn’t fold if you have the two captain’s chairs, which compromises utility. Getting into the third-row is complicated by having to motor the middle seats forward, but at least the resulting entry path is decently sized. Like the S, the Model X is very quick and handles well.

Unlike other subcompact-SUV competitors, this genre-bending model has no all-wheel-drive option. Visibility is horrendous, and the C HR is tortoise-slow, taking more than 11 seconds to go from 0 to 60 mph. It does get a very good 29 mpg overall. The continuously variable transmission is mostly unobtrusive, but it ampli f ies engine noise. The ride is f irm and tightly controlled. Wind noise is pronounced at highway speeds. Hidden rear door handles give the impression of a two-door coupe, but they make it dif f icult for kids to open the doors. Although the rear seat is roomy, the small windows create a dark, cave-like cabin.

Toyo ta P riu s P rim e The Prime is a plug-in Prius that can usually drive about 23 miles on electricity only. But the gas engine tends to start up in cold weather and under full-throttle acceleration. It takes 2 hours to charge the Prime through a 240-volt connector and 5 hours on a regular 120-volt. When not running in EV mode, the Prime operates much like the regular Prius, alternating between electric and gas power, returning 50 mpg overall. With styling that’s slightly different from that of the regular Prius, the Prime can hold only four passengers, and it loses the rear wiper. The infotainment system, with its large touch screen, is unintuitive to use. The compliant ride and responsive handling are quite similar to those of the regular Prius.

The ride is a touch f irm but compliant. Expect 25 mpg overall from the 1.8-liter turbo four-cylinder engine. Great visibility, supportive seats, and simple controls are welcome, but modest dimensions limit rear-seat and cargo space, and desirable features such as automatic climate control and power seats come only on the top trim.

Braking is the distance in feet a vehicle took to stop from 60 mph on dry and wet pavement. Performance includes our emergencyhandling and turning-circle tests. AM speed is the speed at which the vehicle was able to successfully negotiate our avoidance-maneuver test course. The faster the speed, the better. Turning circle is the bumper clearance needed, in feet, for a U-turn to be completed.

CONSUMER REPORTS conducts more than 50 objective tests and subjective evaluations on every vehicle we rate. These charts list the results from CR’s testing. The information allows you to easily compare models. Here is an explanation about the criteria that appear in the charts: Make & Model speci es the make, model, and trim version of the vehicle Consumer Reports tested. We often test multiple versions of the same model, and each can yield di erent results depending on the trim and equipment level, body style, and engine type. Trans. indicates the transmission type and number of speeds. “Auto” is automatic; “CVT,” continuously variable transmission; “Man,” manual; “Seq,” sequential; and “1-spd. dir.,” one-speed direct drive. HP is the horsepower of the engine tested. Engine notes displacement, number of cylinders, and con guration we tested. CR’s Fuel Economy includes the tested Overall miles per gallon based on a realistic mix of highway and city driving. The gures for City and Highway driving are listed separately. Acceleration is based on how a vehicle performs in several tests. The 0 30 mph and 0 60 mph tests are conducted from a standstill with the engine idling, with the gures indicating the number of seconds needed to reach those speeds. The ¼ mile test is also done from a standing start, and the gures listed indicate the number of seconds needed to reach the quarter-mile mark as well as the speed the vehicle was traveling when it reached that distance.

Safety Update and Cr

G uide to t he Cha rt The charts on these pages are a comprehensive collection of data to help you compare the safety capabilities of di erent models. Because crash-test results can be compared only among vehicles of similar weight, we group models by category. Here is a guide to each column: Accident avoidance. A composite score derived from our track tests, including braking and emergency handling, and to a lesser extent driving position, visibility, acceleration, and seat comfort. If we tested multiple versions of the same model and the accident-avoidance scores di ered, we give the range of scores attained. Front-crash prevention. This indicates the availability of both city- and highwayspeed forward-collision warning (FCW) and automatic emergency braking (AEB) systems a model. Std. indicates the feature is standard, Opt. means it is available but might not be on all trims, and a dash (—) means the feature is not available. NA indicates that, at time of publication, there is no information on availability of the features. IIHS safety tests. These include the driver- and passenger-side smalloverlap, o set frontal, side-impact, and rear crash tests, and a roof-strength evaluation. IIHS scores are Good, Acceptable, Marginal, and Poor. The roof-strength test subjects a vehicle to a force equal to four times its weight for up to 5 inches of roof crush. NHTSA safety tests. These tests are conducted by the National Highway Tra c Safety Administration and measure fullfrontal and side-impact performance, and they are displayed as a combined overall and an overall front and side rating. The rollover rating denotes the risk of rollover in a single-vehicle crash. This score is largely based on a static measure of a vehicle’s center of gravity. A dynamic test is used for light trucks.

WHEN ASSESSING SAFETY, it’s important to compare vehicles in the same class. Models perform di erently in crashes based on their size and what they hit. Even a small car with top crash-test ratings will take the brunt of the impact if hit by a larger, heavier vehicle. As safety technolog y progresses rapidly, we’ve begun evaluating some active safety features as part of our test program. As part of our Overall Score, we give additional consideration to advanced safety systems— o ered as standard equipment across all trim levels of a particular model—that can help drivers avoid an accident or lessen the impact of a crash. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety conducts a front small-overlap crash test, which replicates a 40-mph crash in which 40 percent of the front of a car hits a rigid barrier. The test is done for both the driver and passenger sides. IIHS also conducts a frontal test that replicates hitting an oncoming vehicle straight on. Overall, newly introduced vehicles that were designed with the test in mind have performed better than older models.

Front, rear, and third-row shoulder room are either our mea sure ments or data from the manufacturer. For three adults to sit abreast comfortably, rear shoulder room should be 55 inches or more. Front legroom is the maximum distance from the heel point of the driver to the base of the seatback, with the seat adjusted as far back as it will go. Rear or third-row legroom is measured with the front seat adjusted to provide 40 inches of front legroom. Headroom is the clearance above a person 5 feet, 9 inches tall. NA means data are not available; we have been unable to measure the vehicle completely. A dash (—) means not applicable.

This gure is speci ed by the manufacturer or, in the case of some tested vehicles, calcu lated based on the di erence between our tested vehicle’s weight and the manufacturer’s speci ed gross weight. Cargo volume for wagons, minivans, and sport-utility vehicles is our measurement with the rear seats folded. We use an adjustable pipe-frame box and enlarge it until it no longer ts through the rear hatch. Data for cars come from the government. Towing capacity is the maximum for the vehicle we tested. For those we did not test, we have included the manu facturer’s tow rating for a typical model. NR denotes not recommended for towing.

THESE CHARTS ALLOW you to easily compare the interior and exterior dimensions of di erent models, along with cargo, load, and towing capacity. We have detailed data on 248 models, most of it compiled from measurements taken during our testing. Data for vehicles not tested by us or not yet on sale were provided by manufacturers.

Your actual savings may vary based on multiple factors, including the vehicle you select, region, dealer, and applicable vehicle-specific manufacturer incentives, which are subject to change. The MSRP is determined by the manufacturer and may not reflect the price at which vehicles are generally sold in the dealer’s trade area as not all vehicles are sold at MSRP. Each dealer sets its own pricing. Neither TrueCar nor Consumer Reports brokers, sells, or leases motor vehicles. NC28BBA
