    The Best Way to Buy Your Next Car

CR Recommended is a clear indication that the car you're considering meets or surpasses our industry-defining standards across performance, safety, reliability, and owner satisfaction.

    CR's auto experts use our state-of-the-art 327-acre Auto Test Center to test over 50 points of evaluation—everything from acceleration, braking, and handling to category-defining EV battery range and hands-free driver assistance platforms. If performance, safety, reliability, and satisfaction matter to you, make sure your next car is CR Recommended.
