Cars.com Awards

Welcome to Cars.com Awards

Cars.com's awards look at the best newly introduced models, the models that get the most interest from our millions of visitors, and the models that work best for a variety of different lifestyles, including family, work, play and eco-friendly drivers.

Best of 2012 Awards Every year, automakers roll out about 70 brand-new or redesigned cars. Our reviewers have spent hundreds of hours behind the wheels of those cars to pick the six best, and from those six, they chose our "Best Of" car. Learn More
Shoppers' Choice Award Millions upon millions of shoppers visit Cars.com every year, searching for cars, making contacts with and sending leads to dealers, and reviewing their own cars as well. From all of that activity (and a little online voting), we determine which car best represents the voice of our shoppers. Learn More
Lifestyle Awards We know not all car buyers choose their car simply by category. We know that many cross-shop, comparing that hybrid with this sedan with that crossover. Our team of reviewers drives dozens of cars every year and the awards are derived from that seat time. Learn More
