Why it matters: CR's annual list of top picks is an influential guide for car shoppers.
State of play: Of the top 10, four were hybrids and three were plug-in hybrids.

Subaru Crosstrek, Subaru Forester, Toyota Highlander Hybrid, BMW X5/X5 PHEV, Ford Maverick/Maverick Hybrid, Toyota RAV4 Prime plug-in hybrid, Tesla Model Y, Mazda3, Toyota Camry Hybrid, and Toyota Prius/Prius Prime plug-in hybrid.
