This graphic, via Visual Capitalist’s Marcus Lu, visualizes data from recent Consumer Reports surveys on car brand satisfaction and reliability.
Rivian, BMW, and Tesla were the three most satisfying brands in 2024, but far from the most reliable. In terms of reliability, Japanese brands like Subaru, Lexus, and Toyota came out on top.

The underlying data behind these rankings is listed in the tables below.
