Consumer Reports’ driver satisfaction summary ranked Tesla, the electric vehicle (EV) brand, as the most satisfying regarding drivability. The ranking primarily emphasizes handling and acceleration speed. Tesla secured the top position, followed by Rivian in second place and BMW in third. A survey conducted in 2025, reviewing around 380,000 vehicles from the 2023 to 2026 model years, was utilized to formulate these rankings.
It’s noteworthy that Tesla holds the top spot for drivability according to this report, especially since Consumer Reports recently categorized Tesla as the least reliable used car brand. Nonetheless, EV technology is relatively nascent, the industry is constantly evolving, and the vehicles keep enhancing. Tesla, which currently manufactures the Model 3, Model S, Model X, Model Y, and Cybertruck, consistently expands the limits of what an EV can offer, making it intriguing to observe how these rankings develop in the future.
