Best New Cars of 2021
Autotrader.com
2021 is here and it brings with it a fresh batch of cars, trucks, and SUVs. No matter what kind of vehicle you have your eye on and no matter how much you’re looking to spend on a new vehicle, there are some new and updated entries this year that should be on your shopping list.
AUTOTRADER has evaluated the latest and greatest new cars to save you some of the homework that comes with shopping for a new ride. The panel deciding the best new cars of 2021 consists of Autotrader Executive Editor Brian Moody and Contributing Editors Eric Brandt, Jason Fogelson, Chris O’Neill, Andrew Ganz, and Autotrader Editor Rob Nestora.
To even be considered for the AUTOTRADER 2021 list, vehicles had to meet a few criteria. AUTOTRADER limited entry to cars, trucks and SUVs with a base price under $75,000; they had to be available for sale within 6-8 months from the time this list is published; include a diverse mix of prices and body styles, no more than two of any one brand with an emphasis on mainstream brands, and of course, it has to be all-new or updated for the 2021 model year. Finally, AUTOTRADER only picked from vehicles that received a score of 4.0 or higher on their 5-point rating scale.
This list includes practical cars and SUVs of all sizes, hybrids, an EV, a pickup, and a few luxury vehicles that are seriously competitive with more expensive rivals. In total, there are five vehicles on the list with electrification either as standard or as an option. And, for the first time since AUTOTRADER has been compiling this list, it has two brands that have two cars each, Ford and Kia. It’s worth noting as this shows just how competitive the new car arena has become.
