Car-shopping marketplace Cars.com Inc., announced the winners of its annual Best Of Awards, recognizing the top-rated 2026 vehicles across six categories.
“Each year, Cars.com editors carefully evaluate all new and redesigned vehicles to see how they measure up – our Best Of winners are those that truly exceed expectations,” said Mike Hanley, Cars.com senior road test editor. “Case in point, the Nissan Leaf is perhaps a surprising choice as the EV market recalibrates following the sunsetting of federal tax credits, but at a time when many shoppers assume affordable EVs are out of reach, the redesigned Leaf proves value, innovation and everyday usability can still coexist.”

- Best Car: 2026 Nissan Leaf.
- Best SUV: 2026 Nissan Armada.
- Best Family Car: 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe, Santa Fe Hybrid.
- Best Pickup Truck: 2026 Ram 1500.
- Best EV: 2026 Kia EV9.
