Best New Cars to Consider for 2017
January 5, 2017
This week, Cars.com released a list of 2017 Car of the Year nominees. These are what they consider the best vehicles within six different categories.
If you're shopping for a vehicle within these categories, I urge you to test-drive the recommended vehicle. For example, in the compact SUV category, Cars.com feels the Kia Sportage is best, but a lot of car shoppers ignore this particular model.
I recommend using TrueCar No Haggle and CarsDirect to see the lowest prices dealers are willing to offer in your local area.
Top Nominated Vehicles for 2017
| Category | Vehicle |
|---|---|
| Best Electric Vehicle | 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV |
| Best Minivan | 2017 Chrysler Pacifica |
| Best Convertible | 2017 FIAT 124 Spider |
| Best Luxury Sedan | 2017 Genesis G90 |
| Best Mid-Size SUV | 2017 GMC Acadia |
| Best Compact SUV | 2017 Kia Sportage |
