Curious about the best cars in 2024? Well, the short answer is that we continue to charge into our vehicular future. While solar-powered cars and flying cars received a fair share of attention in 2023, the real story was electrification. Electric cars were the fastest-growing segment in the American automotive marketplace last year, increasing by 47% to around 9% of total vehicle sales, with over one million vehicles sold. This rate of growth is even more startling in the luxury market, where fully electric vehicles accounted for one third of all sales in 2023.
So it makes sense that, unlike last year, this year’s installment of the best cars in 2024 consists entirely of battery-powered options (this includes a few hybrid gasoline/electric offerings.) And because of the proliferation of EV offerings, we can say proudly that there isn’t any overlap between this list and our recent rundown of our 11 Favorite Electric Vehicles of 2024.
Though we may not get to drive every one of these vehicles this year, we have a pretty good track record of getting behind the wheel of the cars on these lists. So continue to check this space to see if our anticipation aligns with our affection. (Base prices are listed.)
