Consumer Reports Names Most Reliable Car Brand, Surprising Toyota and Honda

Subaru has been ranked the most reliable car brand for 2025 by Consumer Reports, surpassing Toyota and Honda, due to its conservative redesign approach, smaller model lineup, and shared components that reduce issues. While Toyota and Lexus also perform well, Toyota's broader model range and recent issues with certain trucks have impacted its ranking. The reliability scores are based on consumer feedback and data from over 300,000 vehicles.
