The annual Edmunds Top Rated Awards recognize the best cars of the year across every major category. But we consider many new cars to be excellent choices, even if they've never won a Top Rated Award. To this end, we maintain a library of articles that identify the best cars for a wide variety of purposes. In all of our content, we ground ourselves in the Edmunds expert vehicle testing program, which leverages our private test track and applies a series of rigorous evaluations to more than 200 new vehicles every year.
