The Only American Car In Consumer Reports' 2022 Ten Best List Kicks Tesla From Top EV Spot | Carscoops carscoops
has won the top EV pick but this year things are different and the Ford Mustang Mach-E has taken its place. It stands alone as the only American vehicle included in the top ten.
CR’s overall rating takes into consideration their own personal testing, predicted reliability, owner satisfaction, and advanced safety features. Vehicles that don’t have forward-collision warning or automated emergency braking, including highway AEB as standard equipment across all trims aren’t even eligible for consideration.
That axes a whole group of American metal before the contest even begins and it’s one reason that the Mustang Mach-E was able to overtake the Tesla Model 3. This is the first year that CR has added two points to any vehicle with a driver monitoring system that its team deems ‘adequate’ and the Mach-E is the first to receive those points. They even say that in the future they’ll remove points for vehicles that don’t have this tech.
It’s notable to consider that the Model 3 is much smaller than the Mach-E so it can’t offer the same level of cargo space or the taller ride height that so many buyers seem to prefer today. The publication did not include the total scores for each vehicle considered in their testing so we don’t know how close any two vehicles might be to one another.
