Cars.com’s editorial team of automotive experts performs more than 100 in-depth reviews of new vehicles each year in addition to producing thousands of articles for car shoppers to navigate the purchase process. Each car represented on the Best of Awards list excels in three key criteria: quality, innovation and value. Pickup trucks are judged on power, capability and value. All vehicles are 2019 models, and Best of 2019 nominees must be all-new or fully redesigned. Winners in each category, as determined by Cars.com’s panel of vehicle and industry experts, are:

Best of 2019: Genesis G70
