We gathered a number of staffers who work behind the scenes at CR's Auto Test Center to share which are their picks for the best and worst cars that Consumer Reports tested in 2025! This team is a key part of CR's evaluation process, driving our test cars in their everyday lives to see which ones are the best to live with - and which ones they wouldn't recommend to friends and family.

We take an early look at the 2026 Toyota RAV4 Plug-In Hybrid XSE, which promises more power and a longer electric-only range than the previous versions called the RAV4 Plug-In Hybrid and RAV4 Prime. We discuss its EV capability, acceleration, interior feel, everyday usability, and where it is worth the $46,000 asking price. We also answer audience questions about how EVs balance horsepower and range, and whether smaller wheels are an effective way to deal with potholes.

Consumer Reports’ latest reliability findings are in, we share which brands deliver the most reliable cars, trucks, and SUVs in 2026—based on comprehensive survey data from hundreds of thousands of CR members. We break down how major automakers, including Toyota, Tesla, Subaru, Rivian, BMW, Mazda, and Honda, compare; how EVs and plug-in hybrids stack up against traditional gas models; which used cars offer the most dependable performance; and whether luxury brands truly provide an advantage over their mainstream counterparts. We also address why some automakers place the gas cap on the passenger side of their vehicles and offer advice on simple maintenance tasks you can perform yourself to help reduce car-related expenses.

Consumer Reports tests dozens of tire models every year across all types of weather and road conditions. Our expert evaluations cover key performance factors like grip, handling, braking, comfort, and tread life. In this episode, we explain everything you need to know before buying new tires—when to replace them, how to choose the best tires, and whether electric vehicles need special tires. You’ll learn how climate and driving style affect tire performance, and get insider insight into how our engineers test tires for safety and durability. We’ll also answer your top tire questions, from whether small rocks in the tread really matter to how all-wheel drive impacts winter traction.

CR has purchased a 2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid Premium for its test program! On this episode, we share our first impressions on how it is different than the recently updated gas model, the performance of the powertrain and how it feels to drive vs the standard version, our early fuel efficiency experiences in the real world, and how it compares to the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, Honda CR-V Hybrid, Hyundai Tucson Hybrid, and others in the crowded small SUV segment. We also give expert advice on whether adding premium fuel to your vehicle will deliver improved performance, and if buying a car from the 2010s will future proof a driver who wants to avoid too much tech behind the wheel.

Plus, we evaluate the redesigned touchscreen interface and assess whether BMW’s tech updates actually improve the driving experience.. We also answer viewer questions: Can different fuel grades mix at a single gas pump with one nozzle, how can you better compare car ratings on our website, and is a “better-than-average ride” in a sedan equivalent to the same rating in an SUV?

On this episode, we cover the 2025 GMC Terrain. Our experts discuss the redesigned compact SUV, its updated, truck-like styling, the new portrait-oriented infotainment system, and share driving impressions. We also debate whether GM is doing enough to stay competitive in the class and how the Terrain differs from mainstream vehicles offered by its sister company, Chevrolet. Plus, we answer audience questions about car buying tactics and faulty Honda Pilot transmissions.

CR has purchased a 2025 Audi Q6 e-tron Quattro Premium+ for our test program. The first of Audi's EVs to use their new Premium Platform Electric (PPE) architecture, the Q6 is designed to compete with the Lexus RZ, BMW iX, Genesis Electrified GV70, Rivian R1S, and Tesla Model Y. We share our first impressions on how the Q6 drives, its abundant safety features, range, and many, many, MANY controls, including its polarizing HUD display. We also discuss the most efficient way to drive a vehicle that can switch between EV and hybrid modes, how horsepower is calculated in a hybrid car, and a good replacement for a Mazda CX-5 for a family with many large dogs!

CR is testing the 2025 Buick Enclave Sport Touring, the new luxury 3-row SUV from GM positioned just below Cadillac. Built on the same platform as the Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia, the new Enclave aims to combine upscale comfort with family-friendly practicality. But does it deliver real value in a crowded segment? And how does it stack up against competitors like the Toyota Highlander, Grand Highlander, and the Honda Pilot? We also answer viewer questions about niche tire sizes on some Toyota and Lexus vehicles (like the Prius and Crown Signia), and is it worth keeping a 2009 Toyota Highlander with over 250k miles, or is it time to find a replacement?

We purchased a 2025 Kia K4 LXS for CR's test program. At $24,320, the K4 is priced surprisingly low for a new car. Does it deliver value for money? We break down the Kia K4’s features, tech, and performance, and compare it to compact rivals like the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, Hyundai Elantra, and the outgoing Kia Forte. What safety and convenience features are included—or left out? We also answer a question about EVs and cargo capacity and help a viewer choose a reliable, fuel-efficient new car, with a hitch for a bike rack, for under $28,000.

Volkswagen gives the 2025 Taos a fresh look and updated tech. We share our first impressions of its performance, redesigned interior, and revamped infotainment system—and whether this update is enough to keep the Taos competitive. We also answer audience questions, including: When is it okay to buy a first model year redesign vehicle? Why are EV charging networks—aside from Tesla’s Supercharger—so frustrating to use? And should buyers be concerned about the Hyundai Ioniq 5 due to issues with its Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU)?

In this episode, we dive into our first impressions of this reimagined vehicle, exploring its ride quality, hybrid powertrain, design, and functional shape. We also discuss how the Signia differentiates itself from the original Crown. Plus, we tackle audience questions, including: why EV batteries tend to drain faster in the winter than in the summer, and if you're only able to replace two tires on your car, which ones should you choose—front or rear?

We also address questions about whether it's still wise to purchase a Nissan, given its current financial issues, and whether Lexus is living up to its reputation as the most reliable automaker.
