Subaru Leads Reliability Rankings as EVs Improve but Lag Behind

Consumer Reports' latest study reveals that hybrids and gas-powered vehicles remain more reliable than electric vehicles (EVs), though EV reliability is improving. Subaru emerged as the most reliable brand, surpassing Toyota and Lexus. Despite reliability issues, Rivian topped owner satisfaction, indicating that consumers value aspects beyond reliability. The report highlights that while plug-in hybrids have more problems than pure hybrids, they are improving, and EVs still face challenges with powertrain and build quality.
