We aim to have every rating on Autos Community backed by our stringent, verified owner survey data. In cases with new vehicles, ratings are applied from previous model years, and these ratings are updated as soon as the new model year survey data is available. You can learn more about Autos Community’s rating methodology below.
Readers must use this rating with caution. The previous model year’s rating was applied to this redesigned vehicle. These vehicles have the latest styling, technology, and other components but are unproven in their first year and, commonly, less reliable than their predecessor.

Rating Methodology
At Autos Community, we base our independent and unbiased ratings, reviews, and awards on detailed survey feedback from verified car owners each year to uncover and understand their experiences over the first three months of ownership and, subsequently, their experiences over the first three years of ownership.
For actual insider knowledge, our surveys cover vehicle attributes such as quality and reliability, driving experience, and car dealership experience (buying and servicing the car). We even factor in resale value using our industry-leading valuation data. Every detail matters!
Once we’ve collected the feedback and categorized it into specific price ranges (luxury vs non-luxury) and car sizes (compact, small, midsize, and large), we start crunching the numbers.
The distance between the specific model attribute to the average Score of the same category or peer group calculates ratings.
From the collection, categorization, and formation of these scores comes the Autos Community Consumer Verified Ratings.
These ratings are given to each model per year, including an overall rating as well as sub-ratings for quality and reliability (40%), driving experience (20%), resale value (20%), and dealership experience (20%).

All ratings on the site (past and current) are updated when the new models are introduced to the market, as their data provides new baselines.
Older model ratings are subject to change as new models emerge. In the case of redesigned models with multiple all-new components and significant appearance changes versus its prior model year, the previous year’s rating is applied.
Model redesign ratings should be used with caution. These vehicles have the latest styling, technology and other components but are unproven in their first year and, commonly, less reliable than their predecessor.
For all-new models with an architecture new to the market and not sold under another name in the past, ratings are not available in their first year.
Autos Community ratings are based on real owners’ opinions, and enough people need to purchase this model to meet the rigorous survey standards behind the ratings.
Regardless, all-new models are exciting and worth considering if you want the most innovative styling and technology.
