If you’re thinking of buying a new vehicle this year, you might be interested in knowing that the Toyota RAV4, Sienna, Prius and Lexus LS460L captured four of 10 Top Picks categories in a ranking announced Thursday by a leading consumer magazine. Additionally, the magazine’s editors found that our vehicles continue to rank in the top tier of overall reliability.
The Toyota and Lexus vehicles selected for the honor sweep across almost the entire spectrum of vehicle sizes, from small SUV to large luxury sedan. There’s something here for almost everyone.
For the Small SUV Top Pick, the magazine’s editors selected the Toyota RAV4, calling it versatile, comfortable, and roomy enough for a small third-row seat. They noted that the V6 version accelerates quickly and still delivers 22 mpg overall.
The Toyota Sienna is the magazine’s Top Pick in the Minivan category, with the editors finding that in terms of roominess and quiet, its interior is on a par with that of some luxury sedans. They also found its V6 engine to be powerful and fuel-efficient, and they noted that Sienna is the only minivan available with all-wheel drive.
For the fifth year in a row, the Toyota Prius was named Top Pick in the Green Car category. In spite of that fact that many new hybrid models have become available, the magazine’s editors said, at 44 mpg overall, the Prius still delivers the best fuel economy the magazine has measured in any five-passenger car. They noted that the Prius’ interior is roomy and versatile, and they said that the Prius sets high reliability standards.
