Subaru Awarded Second-Place for Consumer Reports’ Annual Automaker Brand Rankings

Following Subaru’s recognition as the Top Mainstream Brand and Best Subcompact SUV in Consumer Reports’ 2024 Top Auto Rankings during April of this year, Subaru of America has continued receiving acknowledgements of manufacturing the safest, most impressive Subaru vehicles over the years. Excitedly, Subaru continues 2024 by receiving additional accolades and Subaru was awarded Second-Place in Consumer Reports’ Annual Automaker Brand Rankings!

With a unique selection of both new and Certified Pre-Owned vehicles, it is no surprise the Subaru brand has continued receiving their metaphorical flowers. With achievements continuously building behind the brand, such as honoring 2021 Subaru Forester as a prestigious Top Safety Pick+ Award from IIHS, being awarded 2022 Best Reputation in the US Mass-Market for Auto Brands by Reputation, or awarded Top Mainstream Brand AND Best Subcompact SUV in Consumer Reports’ 2024 Top Auto Rankings, it’s clear that Subaru’s commitment to safety, quality, and customer satisfaction continues to resonate with drivers and critics alike. 

The 2021 Subaru Forester

Consumer Reports’ prestigious ranking of 34 different car brands is based on Consumer Reports’ rigorous testing, which combines road-test scores, predicted reliability, and owner satisfaction for all models from each automaker. Subaru’s ability to consistently deliver exceptional performance across its lineup—from the adventurous Subaru Outback to the family-friendly Forester—is what makes us proud to call Subaru our brand. With a remarkable overall score of 80, Subaru continues to be an automotive leader. 

Only one brand surpassed Subaru this year: BMW, with a score of 82. However, as the highest-ranking mainstream brand, Subaru proves that it provides incredible value, durability, and performance without the premium price tag.

Here’s what made Subaru stand out:

1. High Road-Test Scores: Whether you’re off-roading in the wilderness or commuting through town, Subaru vehicles are engineered to handle it all with ease.
2. Exceptional Reliability: Subaru’s reputation for building cars that last continues to earn the trust of drivers everywhere.
3. Safety First: Every Subaru is equipped with cutting-edge safety features, they perform exceptionally well in safety tests year after year.

Consumer Reports’ rankings reaffirm what Subaru drivers have known for years: Subaru delivers an unbeatable combination of quality, performance, and reliability that keeps our customers coming back time and time again.
