The Car and Driver 10Best list is a yearly roundup of the top 10 new vehicles set to dominate the upcoming year. Vehicles earn their spot by demonstrating exceptional value, outstanding driving dynamics, and category-leading excellence. Eligible contenders include all-new models, those with substantial updates, and returning 10Best winners from the prior year. The evaluation spans cars, trucks, and SUVs, all of which must meet a base-MSRP cap of $110,000 and be available for sale in the U.S. by January 2025.

“The ID. Buzz snapped more pedestrian necks than any other car at 10Best by a country mile, but this isn’t just a show pony. The ID. Buzz’s electric powertrain makes it a joy to drive, and its boxy, retro shape provides passenger comfort and cargo-hauling practicality,” said Tony Quiroga, Editor-in-Chief, Car and Driver Magazine.
