Outstanding.<\/p>\n

The word could be used over and over again for 47 of the top-rated cars for 2020 at Edmunds.com, ranging from extra-small sedans to exotic sport coupes and electric vehicles.<\/p>\n

It might be just the place to start if you\u2019re shopping for a new car.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe hottest new vehicles of the year tend to get all the buzz, but newer doesn’t always equal better,\u201d said\u00a0Alistair Weaver, editor-in-chief at Edmunds.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Edmunds Top Rated Awards honor the best vehicles on sale today and are the result of thousands of hours of testing both on the track and in the real world. We believe our process is one of the most rigorous and empirical in the industry, which makes these awards a true measure of excellence.\u201d<\/p>\n

Edmunds ranked the cars based on data collected on its test track and \u201cusing a 115-mile real-world test loop of city streets, freeways and winding canyons.\u201d<\/p>\n

The rankings use 30-plus scores on performance, comfort, interior, technology, utility and value.<\/p>\n

Sedans<\/h3>\n
