Best Cars of 2024

Ranked by our critic's grades, best first.

  1. Tesla Model 3 Long Range2024Still the efficiency benchmark, and the Highland update finally fixed the ride without touching what worked.Read the review
  2. Porsche 911 S/T2024The GT3 RS engine with a manual gearbox and no wing makes the lightest 992 the most rewarding road 911 of its generation.
  3. Mazda MX-5 Miata2024Thirty-five years of getting one idea right, and it is still the most fun per dollar on sale anywhere.
  4. Lexus LC 500 (2024)2024One of the most beautiful cars of the century, attached to the last great naturally aspirated V8, and not remotely a sports car.
  5. Lexus GX 550 (2024)2024A twin turbo V8 replacement with real off road hardware, a Land Cruiser chassis and fifteen miles per gallon in town.
  6. Lexus ES 300h (2024)2024Forty four miles per gallon, a silent cabin, and the lowest ownership risk of any luxury sedan sold.
  7. Kia EV92024The first three row electric SUV a family can actually use, and it undercut everything German by tens of thousands.
  8. Toyota Land Cruiser (2024)2024The nameplate came back at half the old price, with a hybrid four cylinder and a boot compromised by its own battery.
  9. Lamborghini Revuelto2024A naturally aspirated V12 kept alive by three electric motors, which is a paradox that works.
  10. BMW i4 M502024An electric 3 Series in everything but name, which is both the highest compliment and the whole limitation.
