Whether you are shopping for a new car, SUV, minivan, or pickup truck, one of the most important factors is the vehicle's reliability score. Higher reliability ratings typically translate to greater longevity and lower overall maintenance bills throughout your ownership. 

Every year, both Consumer Reports and J.D. Power release their own reliability ratings based on real-world consumer feedback. This allows buyers to get a glimpse of the most reliable cars on the market and helps you find the best one for your needs. 

Many traditional kinds of cars, such as sedans, are becoming less popular in favor of larger crossovers, SUVs, and trucks – and automakers such as Ford, Chrysler, Buick, and Chevrolet have already slashed several such models from their lots – there are still plenty of manufacturers that offer reliable new cars in all shapes and sizes. Read on to discover which models make the most reliable cars in 2024.

### 1. 2024 Toyota Camry/Toyota Camry Hybrid

![2024 Toyota Camry Hybrid Exterior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/3lVoUXHIV0ApWayQnhxy9O/58ead626669b1ea9bc5e122bd84a2184/2024_Toyota_Camry_Hybrid_Exterior.jpg)

The Toyota Camry is one of the most popular, well-respected, and reliable midsize family sedans around. The latest 2024 model year Camrys earned a high 5/5 predicted reliability score from Consumer Reports, and J.D. Power backs up those findings with an exceptional 88/100 reliable rating.

![2024 Toyota Camry Hybrid Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/3NyeN3UH2ufDDkilc25P3P/75040b6a032f8f1444c415c99fc3a93f/2024_Toyota_Camry_Hybrid_Interior.jpg)

In addition to its excellent reliability ratings, the Camry has also become more versatile in the past decade. Front- and all-wheel drive are both available. Most are equipped with a fuel-efficient 203-horsepower four-cylinder engine, but there's also a 301-horsepower V6. An even more fuel-efficient 208-horsepower hybrid powertrain is yet another option, providing fuel economy numbers of more than 50 MPG in both the city and highway.

If you can wait one more year, the 2025 Camry lineup will exclusively include a hybrid powertrain and exterior styling refresh. Fortunately, Consumer Reports has already given the 2025 Camry a 5/5 predicted reliability score as well.

### 2. 2024 Toyota Corolla/Toyota Corolla Hybrid

![2024 Toyota Corolla Exterior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/6OCFh1ELwLTNJALaFEr6LH/f25ddf5e4c9a80c1b75bb03a7b106e7b/2024_Toyota_Corolla_Exterior.jpg)

Much like its larger siblings, the Camry, the RAV4, and the Highlander, the 2024 Toyota Corolla and Corolla Hybrid offer a no-frills, practical, and affordable means of transportation. Although it does not earn as high a reliability rating as the Camry or the 4Runner SUV, the Corolla does its part to make Toyota one of the most reliable car brands of all, with a Consumer Reports predicted reliability rating of 4/5.

![2024 Toyota Corolla Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/5tki6dvA6STsy142JX1MP8/f44ae96582347834a894c32d44152e31/2024_Toyota_Corolla_Interior.jpg)

Sedan and hatchback models are both available with a non-hybrid powertrain. Each comes with a 169-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and a continuously variable transmission. Hybrid models are only available as sedans and feature a smaller 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine with 138 horsepower, but all-wheel-drive is available and a combined fuel economy estimate of up to 50 MPG is kind to your wallet. 

Nothing about the Corolla is exciting, but standard features such as wireless device connectivity, a Wi-Fi hotspot, automatic climate control, adaptive cruise control, pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assist, and automatic high beams ensure it gets the job done.

### 3. 2024 Toyota Prius

![2024 Toyota Prius Exterior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/1ZGifohQzieohrwDG2Acjj/42db5d5d634037c1ec2b31d4bec308d7/2024_Toyota_Prius_Exterior.jpg)

Even though the Toyota Prius was completely redesigned for the 2023 model year, its history of being one of Consumer Reports’ most reliable vehicles remains uninterrupted with a 5/5 reliability rating for the 2024 model year.

![2024 Toyota Prius Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/1WeZTmG01DYXxZ3BV1KCu1/20efe15857472b0a0d36238f42d328ee/2024_Toyota_Prius_Interior.jpg)

Its exterior styling is more exciting than it was before 2023, and its interior received a much-needed overhaul. It is still not the most exciting or stylish car on the road but features such as a seven-inch digital gauge cluster, wireless device connectivity, a Wi-Fi hotspot, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and lane-keep assist make it a repeat offender on most car-buying guides.

The most fuel-efficient front-wheel drive Prius models come with a 194-horsepower hybrid powertrain that returns fuel economy estimates of 57 MPG in the city and 56 MPG on the highway. All-wheel drive models have a slightly more powerful 196 horsepower, thanks to two electric motors rather than one. Fuel economy estimates fall slightly to 53 MPG in the city and 54 MPG on the highway.

### 4. 2024 Lexus IS

![2024 Lexus IS Exterior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/2lEqBiJhBdCFIWHS7XGXYD/33f8ef997ae9defe00212ba3a5f6c20d/2024_Lexus_IS_Exterior.jpg)

The Lexus IS is a compact sports sedan. It may not be quite as engaging to drive as rival luxury cars such as the BMW 3-Series or the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, but it does have the reliability edge over most competitors from BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Cadillac, and Genesis. Consumer Reports gives it a 4/5 predicted reliability score, but J.D. Power’s excellent 88/100 reliability rating is enough for us to place it solidly in our top 10. 

![2024 Lexus IS Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/1wptVAUKk3B0Vw9mW8KwuH/bba83272243d19b822b8a1d6aa9b5ea1/2024_Lexus_IS_Interior.jpg)

Despite having a small rear seat, only decent technology, and powertrains less lively than rivals', the IS looks great and is available in both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel guises. A 241-horsepower turbo four serves as the base powerplant, while a more exciting 311-horsepower V6 or a burlier 472-horsepower naturally aspirated V8 engine exist as alternatives.

Alongside its sister company, Toyota, Lexus is consistently rated as one of the most reliable car brands year-over-year.

### 5. 2024 Kia Forte

![2024 Kia Forte Exterior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/2C1du3Z9tJo9jPPslqzolB/57e2d3f7b94895cae8e4bca82fd315cf/2024_Kia_Forte_Exterior.jpg)

The Kia Forte is the first car on our list not from a Japanese automaker. It takes its place here because of its higher-than-average predicted reliability score from Consumer Reports and its stellar 87/100 reliability score from J.D. Power. Despite not being as well known for its reliability as its Japanese competitors, the Forte’s excellent 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty only boosts its solid reputation. 

![2024 Kia Forte Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/6mtJBFBMfVhdi4yJ3i7kEG/1f89f36eadaf9f76440338c78811762d/2024_Kia_Forte_Interior.jpg)

Features such as an eight-inch touchscreen, wireless device connectivity, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, a rear-seat alert system, driver attention monitoring, and 15.3 cubic feet of trunk space are all included in its near-$20,000 starting MSRP. Even though competitors such as the Honda Civic and the Mazda3 look and feel a little more premium, the Forte offers incredible value over its chief competitors.

Under the hood of most trim levels lives a 147-horsepower four-cylinder engine and continuously variable automatic transmission. Buyers can opt for the GT trim level, though. It still comes standard with front-wheel drive, but you get a 201-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder engine with either a six-speed manual transmission or a quick-shifting seven-speed dual-clutch automatic.

<a name="6-2024-lexus-es-lexus-es-hybrid"></a>
### 6. 2024 Lexus ES/Lexus ES Hybrid

![2024 Lexus ES 350 Exterior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/GtrkDpomq4bq61Pwwrers/1792e7349465526afaa0d06bba9cc788/2024_Lexus_ES_350_Exterior.jpg)

The Lexus ES is the IS’ bigger and more luxury-focused sibling. It shares its platform with the Toyota Camry, so it's not surprising that it is on our list. It offers a spacious interior, high build quality, a comprehensive suite of safety features, and a wide variety of standard tech that should be enough to appease the entry-level midsize luxury car crowd. 

![2024 Lexus ES 350 Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/3iWmw2gPGQdjDVA2CL2gND/dc3eda7f81125ff2a2a4777e51495ae1/2024_Lexus_ES_350_Interior.jpg)

A 203-horsepower four-cylinder engine drives ES 250 models. All-wheel drive is standard, bringing fuel economy numbers down to 25 MPG in the city and 34 MPG on the highway. ES 350 models come with front-wheel-drive but come with a 302-horsepower V6 engine. Finally, 300h ES Hybrid models produce 215 horsepower, come with front-wheel drive, and earn a combined fuel economy rating of 44 MPG. 

Consumer Reports gives both the standard and the hybrid ES models a higher-than-average predicted reliability rating. J.D. Power also gives the ES a stellar 85/100 reliability score.

### 7. 2024 Kia K5

![2024 Kia K5 Exterior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/zW2HEVh7ZqHaf8n17koq8/558b1cb9f914f57183d6c6cd248b5e11/2024_Kia_K5_Exterior.jpg)

The Kia K5 is a stylish and affordable alternative to the Toyota Camry, the Honda Accord, the Subaru Legacy, and the Nissan Altima. If it is not already on your radar, it should be for its excellent warranty, affordable price tag, 4/5 Consumer Reports reliability rating, and excellent J.D. Power reliability score of 85/100. 

![2024 Kia K5 Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/6GKSctv12XtefWWQXothGx/7d0542c7a88ebc2ccb9eb051dbe4e5db/2024_Kia_K5_Interior.jpg)

Most models are fitted with a 180-horsepower four-cylinder turbo engine. Front-wheel drive is standard, but all-wheel drive is available on the GT-Line trim level. For a more raucous experience, the K5 GT comes with a larger four-cylinder turbo that produces 290. It is quick, but the front wheels have to work hard for grip. 

Most buyers will be content with the K5’s fuel-efficient standard engine, which generates a combined 31 MPG at its most efficient. Standard features are plentiful and include an eight-inch touchscreen, wireless smartphone connectivity, dual-zone climate control, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, and driver attention monitoring.

<a name="8-2024-porsche-911"></a>
### 8. 2024 Porsche 911

![2024 Porsche 911 Exterior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/7lsuxtwGKCPU1xRXaW66jV/2962ce738c0a5a17300468aa0b0dcf3d/2024_Porsche_911_Exterior.jpg)

There is no rule that says a high-performance sports car has to be unreliable. The Porsche 911 may be known to cost a pretty penny when it comes to maintenance, but it might take a while to get there, thanks to its 4/5 Consumer Reports predicted reliability rating and sky-high 91/100 reliability score from J.D. Power.

![2024 Porsche 911 Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/gy2R9v7fZm9K1zYj7YYOJ/69ae0624424d43cec2b360c34d4a60e1/2024_Porsche_911_Interior.jpg)

With well over 10 different 911 models to choose from and with a host of flat-six powertrains putting out ratings between 379 and 640 horsepower, buyers will not want for options. There is even the off-road-ready Dakar trim level, sporting rear-axle steering, extra ground clearance, and all-terrain tires.

Starting prices range from around $115,000 to around $290,000. Cabriolet, Targa, and coupe body styles are all available as well as both automatic and manual transmissions. Finally, rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive are on the table to further diversify the lineup.

### 9. 2024 Porsche 718 Cayman

![2024 Porsche 718 Cayman Exterior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/7DOxTf3y9lcRt8YK2wBdYT/ac7489ba6e39d07e2c244fb78aec20a8/2024_Porsche_718_Cayman_Exterior.jpg)

If you can't quite afford a 911, the 2024 Porsche 718 Cayman is far from a bad consolation prize. Base models start around $70,000 though top-of-the-line models will still exceed the six-digit price tag. Instead of a rear-mounted engine, the 718 Cayman sports a mid-mounted engine, comes exclusively with rear-wheel drive, and offers an exquisitely balanced driving experience. 

![2024 Porsche 718 Cayman Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/4JvqAU6488B7Glq9uv1LGu/d606956b50db9e6a55f6ee4d985a3a9a/2024_Porsche_718_Cayman_Interior.jpg)

Like the 911, Consumer Reports has given the 718 Cayman a 4/5 predicted reliability score, and J.D. Power followed that up with a 90/100 rating. Unlike the 911, the convertible version of the Cayman goes by a different name: The 718 Boxster. If you decide to forgo the coupe body style for some open-air fun, the Boxster earns an equally high CR predicted reliability score, even though it lacks a rating from J.D. Power. 

718 Cayman models come with the choice of a 300-horsepower flat-four, a 350-horsepower flat-four, a 394-horsepower flat-six, or a 493-horsepower flat-six powerplant. The more powerful you go, the more you can expect to spend, but any Cayman is sure to put a smile on your face.

### 10. 2024 BMW 4-Series

![2024 BMW 4-Series Exterior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/11uq7wLtO8am1X9gKSH05D/b2ba2a6ef9825f910f916c4b89b83f4b/2024_BMW_4-Series_Exterior.jpg)

The BMW 4-Series is the two-door coupe version of the four-door 3-Series and boasts a superb 4/5 predicted reliability rating from Consumer Reports, plus its equally impressive 85/100 score from J.D. Power. Even though two-door coupes are typically less practical than four-door family sedans, you still may want to give the 4-Series a look.

![2024 BMW 4-Series Interior](https://www.autolist.com/6tuem73u73an/2MaiXg8eK4b9GOB3ywf2Ch/2bb90bdf8967948fbf8972bb860a25c7/2024_BMW_4-Series_Interior.jpg)

Once you get past its polarizing grille, you should enjoy the base four-cylinder turbo engine. It sends 255 horsepower to the rear wheels. If that isn't enough, then you can upgrade to the mild-hybrid turbocharged inline-six with 382 horsepower. It features sportier suspension and sharper steering so its handling capability better complements its sportier styling.

A new infotainment system setup was added for the 2024 model year. BMW’s latest iDrive system utilizes a 14.9-inch touchscreen alongside a 12.3-inch driver information display. If you're worried about space, the rear seats can be used to haul small passengers. A combined fuel economy rating of 28 MPG isn't bad for a sports coupe, either, but you do have to go with the base model to hit that estimate.

### Honorable Mentions

As with all top 10 lists, there are a few outliers who barely missed out. It is important to mention them, because not all of the cars above will suit everyone’s needs and not every car that didn't quite make the cut is unreliable. 

The trend of Japanese automakers continues with Consumer Reports awarding a 4/5 score for every model outside of the top 10. Both the [Mazda Mazda3](https://www.autolist.com/mazda-mazda3) and [Subaru Impreza](https://www.autolist.com/subaru-impreza) stand in for those who don't need something as sporty. Those who do want the extra flash can go with the [Mazda MX-5 Miata](https://www.autolist.com/mazda-mx+5+miata), [Toyota GR Supra](https://www.autolist.com/toyota-gr+supra), [Toyota 86](https://www.autolist.com/toyota-86), [Subaru WRX](https://www.autolist.com/subaru-impreza+wrx), and [Subaru BRZ](https://www.autolist.com/subaru-brz). Japan finishes strong with the [Acura TLX](https://www.autolist.com/acura-tlx), an entry-level luxury sedan.

Germany fights back strong with several models of its own with a 4/5 predicted reliability rating from Consumer Reports. The [BMW 2-Series](https://www.autolist.com/bmw-2+series), [Mini Cooper](https://www.autolist.com/mini-cooper), and [Mini Cooper Clubman](https://www.autolist.com/mini-cooper+clubman) all provide some diversity to the list. [Audi’s A5](https://www.autolist.com/audi-a5) and [BMW’s Z4](https://www.autolist.com/bmw-z4) might fit the bill if you want some sportier German options. Finally, the [Porsche Taycan](https://www.autolist.com/porsche-taycan) steps in with the first electric option outside of the top ten. 

Korea also has a few models to offer. The [Hyundai Elantra](https://www.autolist.com/hyundai-elantra) narrowly missed the top ten with a 4/5 predicted reliability score from Consumer Reports and an 81/100 from J.D. Power. Even the new 2025 Kia K4 scored a 4/5 for Consumer Reports. The [Hyundai Ioniq 6](https://www.autolist.com/hyundai-ioniq+6) stands as another unique electric option. 

Japan is not done yet, though. The [Honda Accord Hybrid](https://www.autolist.com/honda-accord+hybrid) is an excellent choice for a midsize family sedan if you want reliability with fuel economy. Not to be outdone, the [Toyota Prius Prime](https://www.autolist.com/toyota-prius+prime) slots in as the only plug-in hybrid car in the honorable mention section. Finally, the spicy [Toyota GR Corolla](https://www.autolist.com/toyota-gr+corolla) holds the flag high for the hot hatchbacks.

Unfortunately, not a single American sedan, hatchback, or sports car is represented here for 2024.

A car's reliability is an essential consideration for shoppers of all stripes. But which ones are the most reliable? We compiled a list of the top 10 most reliable cars for 2024.
