Best American Cars, SUVs, and Trucks

All of the cars featured here are CR Recommended, but not all are built in the U.S.

Below we spotlight the highest-scoring American-branded vehicle for most of the categories we test. (With the shift in demand toward SUVs, small American cars are nearly extinct. We only included categories where an American-branded car qualified.)

There are many ways to sort and filter Consumer Reports’ ratings to find the best vehicle in a given category or price range, and you’re invited to explore using our A-to-Z ratings tool.
