U.S. News assesses quality based on the vehicle's overall score in the U.S. News Best Car Rankings, which are built on a combination of data points like safety and reliability ratings, as well as U.S. News’ in-house experience and the collective opinion of the automotive press. Value is measured by evaluating transaction price data and projected five-year ownership costs.
