Every year Consumer Reports, a nonprofit research and consumer advocacy organization, releases rankings for the most reliable vehicles based on information from car owners on more than 300,000 vehicles. The report for 2023 models are based on the overall reliability of the different brands and models over the past three years. It may come as no surprise to see a lot of hybrid, midsize, and large sedans to be at the top of the list. Based on Consumer Reports, more than one in three prospective buyers are considering a hybrid as their next vehicle, which is up from 2019.
Given today’s market, it may not be surprising that hybrid vehicles are on the rise. Today’s car market is extremely inflated, so people are looking to have a vehicle that they will be able to keep for a long period of time. In addition to providing many miles without any issues, they are also a great combatant against the high price of gas. The lower fuel costs are one of the major reasons for people to turn towards hybrid vehicles, along with the lower emission levels emitted from the vehicle.
