2-Line Blurb

140-Character Blurb

The Honda Civic is consistently one of our favorite compact cars, and that remains true with the outstanding 2026 model.

Cons

Power, Ride, and Handling

Driving Impressions

The 2026 Honda Civic is powered by a 150-horsepower 4-cylinder engine matched with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) and front-wheel drive. In our testing, we’ve found this base engine to be adequate for daily use in an affordable compact car, even with passengers aboard.
The engine doesn’t tell the whole Civic story, though, because we like its responsive nature, which makes it feel quicker than the numbers might suggest. The ride quality, meanwhile, is supple yet with a certain sportiness, in typical Honda fashion.
We’ve found that highway miles pass quickly in the Civic, particularly when the standard adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assistance take on some of the work. Although our owner reviews lean heavily toward the positive, some have mentioned road noise at highway speeds. <a href="https://www.kbb.com/honda/">Honda</a> has given the new hybrid Civic extra noise reduction measures, but not this combustion-only version.
The Civic is easy around town. Its small size and nimbleness allow it to slot into parking spaces that would be challenging for cars just one size class larger. Enthusiasts seeking greater thrills can choose either the 200-hp Civic Si or the 315-hp <a href="https://www.kbb.com/honda/civic-type-r/">Type R</a> with seriously impressive performance.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
The 2026 Honda Civic has an <a href="https://fueleconomy.gov/feg/make.shtml">EPA</a>-estimated fuel economy rating of up to 32 city/41 highway/36 combined in the base <a href="https://www.kbb.com/compare-cars/results?vehicleIds=477453|477436|477461/">LX trim</a>. The Sport trim, with its slightly larger wheels, gets 34 combined mpg. These mpg ratings are good for the class, and the even more efficient Civic Hybrid gets up to 49 mpg combined. The turbocharged Civic Si is still pretty efficient at 31 mpg combined, but its thirst for premium gas bumps up its fuel costs.

Subtle Exterior

Exterior

The Honda Civic has a mature style that reminds us of the larger Accord, which is no bad thing. Many buyers will gravitate toward the Civic sedan, but we think it’s wise to at least consider the hatchback. It offers attributes comparable to a compact SUV, like an already spacious cargo area that expands when the rear seats are folded down. Yet the hatchback retains a stylish exterior design that many of our reviewers prefer over the sedan. Whichever you choose, we love that the Civic still offers a choice of a sedan or hatchback body.

FAQs

Our Favorite Features and Tech

Favorite Features

Two body styles 
The Honda Civic is available as a traditional sedan or a highly versatile hatchback, with the cargo flexibility to accommodate an adult-sized bicycle.
Honda Sensing 
Every Civic comes standard with this array of tech features, making every drive a little safer and more relaxed. These include automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, and traffic sign recognition.
Sport trim 
Upgrading to the Sport trim makes the Civic a little more stylish and high-tech while keeping the price reasonable. A few of its features that you don’t get on the LX trim include 8-speaker audio, blind-spot monitoring, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with paddle shifters, Sport mode, a rear center armrest, and more.
USB-C ports 
We appreciate that Honda equips every Civic with USB-C ports in front and in back. You and your passengers will be glad they&#8217;re there on long trips.
Android Auto and Apple CarPlay 
Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are handy phone connectivity features that bring apps, maps, music, and more into the car’s infotainment system. They both come as standard in every Civic.
Performance models 
Every Honda Civic is enjoyable to drive, but the sporty Civic Si and ferocious Civic Type R pump up the adrenaline. The Civic Si is affordable fun, and the Type R is a track-ready blast.

Spacious Interior

Interior

The Honda Civic’s interior is tasteful and simple. The understated design uses clean lines and a handsome honeycomb-style mesh strip across the dash. We like how it all works ergonomically. Cabin materials are impressive for an affordable compact. One feature we found particularly useful in our long-term test model is the storage pad in front of the gear shifter, where we were able to conveniently set and charge a phone.
One small gripe is that only a 7-inch infotainment screen is available in the non-hybrid Civic. A bigger 9-inch screen (with Google Maps and Alexa built-in), a 10.2-inch digital gauge cluster, and Bose audio are limited to the Sport Touring trim in the Civic Hybrid. This screen is small by today’s standards, but it gets the job done. The good news is that climate controls are handled by satisfyingly tactile knobs and buttons.
The front seats are roomy, even for taller adults, but we do wish there were adjustable lumbar support. There’s enough space for adults in the back as well, with near-class-leading legroom of 37.4 inches. It would be better if those rear passengers had climate vents, but those aren’t available even in the highest trim.
The sedan’s trunk is the biggest in its class (14.8 cubic feet), and the wide opening makes it easy to load and unload. The Civic hatchback has almost 10 cubic feet of extra cargo space compared with the sedan, and even more when the back seats are folded down. For example, in our long-term hatchback test model, we were able to fit a mountain bike in the back without detaching the front wheel.

Engine and Transmission

Under the Hood

The 2026 Honda Civic&#8217;s LX and Sport trims employ a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine mated to a CVT automatic transmission, routing power to the front wheels. This powertrain produces 150 hp and 133 lb-ft of torque. The livelier Civic Si uses a turbo version of this engine, producing 200 hp and 195 lb-ft of torque. To the delight of enthusiasts, it comes exclusively with a manual transmission.
Hybrid and Type R versions of the Civic are available, which we review separately.
<h3>3-Year/36,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
Honda’s new-vehicle warranty lasts three years or 36,000 miles, whichever happens first. Powertrains are covered for five years or 60,000 miles. These terms are typical among mainstream manufacturers. Free scheduled maintenance for two years or 24,000 miles is also included.
<h3>Safety Ratings</h3>
This generation of Civic Sedan has earned a Top Safety Pick rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>) and a 5-Star overall score from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NHTSA</a>). The Civic Hatchback is even safer; it earns the IIHS&#8217;s Top Safety Pick+ award.

The fast and fantastic 2026 BMW M3 compact luxury sport sedan represents a high point in automotive artistry.

<ul>
<li>Only the base model offers a manual</li>
</ul>

Power, Ride and Handling

The M3 has always been so much more than just a fast 3 Series. In our opinion, it’s one of the finest creations a car company has ever built. Anyone who loves driving needs to own one at least once in their lives.
The regular M3 is propelled by 473 hp going to the rear wheels and its transmission is a 6-speed manual. That sentence in itself signals nirvana for a section of the driving enthusiast community. According to BMW, the sprint from standstill to 60 mph takes just 4.1 seconds. Then again, BMW tends to understate and over-deliver rather than the other way around. Let’s just say it’s wonderfully quick. The Mercedes-AMG C 43 (402 hp) has the advantage of a tenth or two, however. Not that it really matters. After all, it’s the way the M3 balances power with precise handling that seals the deal.
The M3 Competition ups the muscle to 503 hp, while the all-wheel-drive M3 Competition xDrive is boosted to 523 horses and hits 60 mph in a fleeting 3.4 seconds. These two come with an 8-speed automatic transmission exclusively. It is tuned by the M division, though, and has paddle shifters. The xDrive system includes a setting for rear-wheel drive (RWD) and no traction control, for some track-day power-sliding. If we had to choose, though, we might still go for a rear-drive M3 because it has less weight at the front end.
An M-tuned adaptive suspension is standard <a href="https://www.kbb.com/compare-cars/results?vehicleIds=477290|477241|477338/">across the board</a>, while the optional carbon ceramic brakes can withstand all sorts of fast-lap punishment and they’re lighter than the usual metal items.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
The M3 achieves 19 mpg in combined city/highway driving, or 18 mpg combined if it’s an M3 Competition xDrive model. We don’t think that’s a negative, given the power numbers involved. For reference, the Mercedes-AMG C 43 (with all-wheel drive) returns 23 mpg combined.

Sport-Focused Exterior

The M3 sits low on its suspension, wearing aerodynamic additions for efficient cooling and downforce. It also has a carbon fiber roof to lower the center of gravity and save weight (the enemy of performance) as well as an aluminum hood. Previous M3 generations were coupes, until BMW created the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/bmw/4-series/">4 Series</a>. Anyone seeking a 2-door equivalent should check out the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/bmw/m4/">M4</a>.

Infotainment system 
We’ve found the infotainment system in the M3 easy to use. The standard navigation system includes BMW Maps, and the voice command feature can obey spoken requests to open (or close) the sunroof, for example. BMW has refined the operating system to reduce the number of actions required to access and change a function. Augmented Reality is also available for the navigation feature, with superimposed direction arrows that help at things like confusing intersections.
Manual transmission 
Science has progressed to the point of particle accelerators and gene splicing, and here we are still yammering on about stick shifts. Because it’s yet another way of engaging with the M3, putting more attention into the driving experience. And one thing we’re sure will never change is that the more you put into something, the more you get out of it.
Harman Kardon audio 
There will be times when the M3 can’t make its own music, which is when this standard 16-speaker/464-watt surround-sound system becomes especially welcome.
All-wheel drive 
A popular option with M3 buyers, all-wheel drive helps apply the power to the road, as well as providing confidence in tricky conditions. Naturally, this system has been tuned by the M engineers.
Carbon Package 
This bundle includes carbon ceramic brakes, an M Track driving mode with a drift analyzer and lap timer, carbon fiber sport front seats, and a day’s high-performance driving tuition.
Parking Assistance package 
As well as steering the M3 into and out of parking spaces, this optional bundle also includes automatic reverse emergency braking, and a 360-degree camera system.

High-Quality Interior

We like the flat-bottomed steering wheel in the 2026 M3, making it easy to slide our knees under. And the red marker at the 12 o’clock position is cool. Having the wheel wrapped in suede-like Alcantara material is also a tempting option. The M3 comes with sport front seats (with the option of lighter, sportier versions) covered in standard leather upholstery, while there’s still a lot of the regular 3 Series in the cabin.
The quality of materials and how they’ve been put together is at the usual top-notch BMW level. The impressive Curved Display is a standard feature in the 2026 M3. It’s a frameless glass-covered unit housing a 12.3-inch instrument cluster and an expansive 14.9-inch touchscreen for the infotainment system, each with high-resolution graphics.
Although the overall 3 Series falls into the category of compact luxury sedan, each generation has been bigger than the one before. So this M3 variant is relatively spacious. Rear legroom is 35.2 inches — not ideal for average-sized adults or bigger, but pretty much as good as anything else in this class. Behind the 40/20/40 split/folding rear seats, trunk space measures a generous 16.9 cubic feet.

A truly great driver’s car can’t be too big. Size often means weight and compromised agility. Thing is, if it’s on the small side, it’s not so usable in everyday situations. Enter the 2026 BMW M3, based on the 3 Series compact luxury sedan.
The M3’s attributes are a blend of thrilling and functional. Imagine something close to the driving experience of a Porsche 911 sports car (which is much more expensive) with engineering and tech all at high levels, then add more convenience features like passenger and cargo space, plus an adaptive suspension. With the M3, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/bmw/">BMW</a> has created something incredibly special.
We’ve logged hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/cars/best-luxury-compact-cars/">compact luxury cars</a>, including the BMW M3.

The 2026 BMW M3 has a starting sticker price of $79,575, with the range-topping M3 Competition xDrive kicking off at $88,875.

</tbody>
</table>
&nbsp;

We can see why the M3 Competition xDrive is a popular choice among M3 buyers — that ultimate grip and traction as well as the extra power is a heady combination. Even so, this is a car for enthusiast drivers and the base model’s manual transmission brings another level of engagement. We’ve also found 473 hp to be more than enough.
Rivals are few. The two <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mercedes-benz/mercedes-amg-c-class/">AMG C-Class</a> cars from Mercedes-Benz either come in below the M3 muscle-wise and price-wise (the C 43) or appreciably above (the C 63 S E Performance). The 472-hp <a href="https://www.kbb.com/cadillac/ct4-v/">Cadillac CT4-V</a> Blackwing comes in below the base M3. It’s good, but doesn’t have the prestige or the heritage of a BMW M3.
Before buying a new M3 luxury sport sedan, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should be paying. Because it’s so desirable, the M3 enjoys above-average resale values. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

<ul>
<li>Formidable package</li>
<li>Track-worthy precision</li>
<li>Road-worthy refinement</li>
</ul>

At its entry level, the M3 has a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter 6-cylinder engine developing a gorgeous 473 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque going to the rear wheels. Or, in the case of the M3 Competition, 503 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque. Those 503 horses are boosted to 523 in the 2026 M3 Competition xDrive with all-wheel drive. The regular M3 has a 6-speed manual transmission. Competition variants come with an M-tuned 8-speed automatic.
The rest of the superb <a href="https://www.kbb.com/bmw/3-series/">2026 BMW 3 Series</a> lineup is reviewed separately.
<h3>4-Year/50,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
BMW’s new-vehicle and powertrain warranties last four years or 50,000 miles, whichever happens first. This is typical among European luxury car marques. Roadside assistance is included for that period, with unlimited mileage. Scheduled maintenance is free for three years or 36,000 miles, which is not so typical.
<h3>Safety Ratings</h3>
The 3 Series (on which the M3 is based) hasn’t been tested fully by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>) although it did take top scores in various impact scenarios. The car also earned a maximum of five stars overall from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings">NHTSA</a>). Standard driver aids include forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, as well as blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert.

What's new for

There are no major changes to the M3 this time around. This might be the final year of production for the current generation. We’re expecting an all-new 3 Series lineup for the 2027 model year.

The high-performance 2026 BMW M2 coupe intrigues and excites in ways that only a BMW M car can.

<ul>
<li>Not particularly versatile</li>
</ul>

<a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/driving-the-2025-bmw-m2/">We think the 2026 M2 is an awesome machine</a>, with a wonderful 473 hp erupting under that little hood to enable a standstill-to-60 mph time of 4.1 seconds. To lose a couple more tenths, choose the automatic transmission. Even so, we reckon a lot of M2 buyers are willing to forgo that eye-blink duration in favor of the stick-shift’s greater involvement. We should also mention that BMW tends to be conservative with its official output and acceleration figures. However things might pan out in the real world, the M2 is indisputably quick and powerful.
The Audi RS 3 has 401 hp and hits 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds, but we love the precision and balance of this rear-drive M2. These two cars are different enough to have their own appeal.
The thing about any 2 Series is that it’s poised and nimble, as if it was made especially for canyon roads, with quick steering and confidence-inspiring brakes. That’s especially true of the M2, made all the more capable by an adaptive M suspension as standard.
The car feels agile, grippy and incredibly capable. Putting the power down early at a corner’s exit is exhilarating, because of the responsive engine in tandem with the M Sport rear differential with continuously variable electronic locking. The front tires stick to the intended line and the tail follows them so sweetly.
This year marks the debut of the limited-edition 2026 <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/2026-bmw-m2-cs-lighter-more-powerful-pricey/">M2 CS</a>, developing 523 hp and lighter by 97 pounds. It comes solely with an automatic transmission — not that we consider this a bad thing, especially since the M2 CS is the most powerful rear-wheel-drive M car. Compared with the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/compare-cars/results?vehicleIds=477297|477364/">regular M2</a>, the CS also has its own suspension setup and various aerodynamic differences. BMW claims a rapid zero-to-60 mph time of 3.7 seconds.
The rest of the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/bmw/2-series/">2026 BMW 2 Series</a> lineup is reviewed separately.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
The regular 2026 M2 manages 19 mpg in combined city/highway driving, regardless of transmission. For some vague context, the Audi RS 3 achieves 23 mpg.

Special Exterior

The M2 has its own special spin on the classic coupe look (of a relatively long nose and short tail), which we find captivating. That kind of squared-off treatment to the grille and front air intakes is like nothing else. The M2 is also eligible for a roof made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP), shaving off weight and lowering the car’s center of gravity. We like the standard quad tailpipes finished in black, with the same treatment (plus a silver border) for the M2 badges on the grille and trunk lid. This year adds new wheel designs with staggered widths (wider rubber at the back).
The M2 CS adds a CFRP rear diffuser, as well as the CFRP roof as standard, plus a CFRP trunk lid with an integrated ducktail spoiler. No-cost metallic paint finishes for the M2 CS are Black Sapphire, Brooklyn Grey, or Portimao Blue. Individual Velvet Blue Metallic is a $3,000 option.

Infotainment system 
We’ve found the infotainment system in the M2 easy to use, allowing voice control of several functions such as cabin temperature and ventilation, and even the heated steering wheel (when fitted). This has enabled BMW to reduce the number of physical controls. Augmented reality for the navigation system is optional.
BMW Curved Display 
This standard feature includes a 12.3-inch configurable driver information display and a 14.9-inch infotainment touchscreen — all in one curved unit. We think it brings a great high-tech feel to the cabin. A head-up display is on the options list.
Harman Kardon surround-sound system 
Although the M2’s engine and exhaust system make their own sweet music together, we like this standard audio setup a lot.
Engine 
We hold most BMW engines in high esteem, while keeping a special place in our collective heart for the company’s smooth 6-cylinder creations. It isn’t just the power they make or their relatively good fuel efficiency, it’s also how they respond to inputs from the accelerator pedal — lively and eager, exactly how we would describe the M2’s engine.
Manual transmission 
Yes, we know, only rabid enthusiasts go for manual transmissions. But the M2 is definitely an enthusiast’s car and a stick shift provides another level of engagement. Plus, it has a rev-matching feature on the downshifts, blipping the throttle automatically, which we think is cool.
M Driver’s package 
This is an option with the M2 and well worth considering, in our opinion. It’s a day’s tuition in high-performance driving on a track.

Upscale Interior

Like the rest of the 2 Series, the 2026 M2 has an upscale cabin with quality materials and what we think is a well-considered layout. Space up front is fine. The seats are comfortable, bringing plenty of support for the sides and under the thighs. The lightweight M Carbon front seats are available as an individual option as well as part of a Carbon Package. The steering wheel comes with a flat bottom (easier to slide the knees under), and offers the option of Alcantara (simulated suede) covering.
There are four seats in the M2. Unsurprisingly, rear legroom of 35 inches is tight for adults of average size and above, while the coupe roof line has an impact on rear headroom. Trunk space of 13.8 cubic feet is decent, a fraction larger than a Toyota Corolla compact sedan’s.

Based on the regular BMW 2 Series Coupe, the M2 comes with a set of talents designed to inspire and engage the enthusiast driver. It has a fantastic combination of power, agility, technology, and relative lightness. On top of that, it’s the most affordable BMW M car. Giving this luxury subcompact coupe the high-performance M treatment allows <a href="https://www.kbb.com/bmw/">BMW</a> to indulge in the more purist traits such as rear-wheel drive and the availability of a manual transmission. It’s probably not most people’s idea of a suitable commuter car, but for track-day blasts and weekend jaunts, the M2 can be truly exciting.
We’ve logged hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/cars/highest-horsepower-coupes/">high horsepower coupes</a>, including the BMW M2.

The 2026 BMW M2 has a starting sticker price of $69,375, with the range-topping 2026 M2 CS kicking off at $99,775.

Even though the idea of a small, nimble and powerful front-engined/rear-drive coupe sounds like a surefire recipe for driving thrills, there isn’t anything else that matches up to the M2 directly. The 401-hp <a href="https://www.kbb.com/audi/rs-3/">Audi RS 3</a> has four doors and all-wheel drive, and begins a little below the M2. AMG versions of the 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLA look like being hybrids. As a 2-seater/2-door coupe, the mid-engined <a href="https://www.kbb.com/chevrolet/corvette/">Chevrolet Corvette</a> starts out a little higher than the M2. Or the bargain of this crowd could be the Austrian-made <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/gr-supra/">Toyota GR Supra</a>, starting below $60K. If an M2 is just too small, the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/bmw/m4/">BMW M4</a> begins a smidge over $80K.
Before buying a new M2 subcompact luxury sports coupe, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should be paying. Resale values are about average for the class. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

The engine in the regular 2026 M2 is a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline 6-cylinder unit developing 473 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque, a glorious amount of power for such a small car. This energy goes solely to the rear wheels &#8212; there’s no option for all-wheel drive. A 6-speed manual transmission is standard, while an 8-speed automatic transmission is offered as a no-cost option, bringing peak torque up to 443 lb-ft.
The 2026 M2 CS has essentially the same engine, automatic transmission and rear-drive configuration, with output boosted to an epic 523 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque.
<h3>4-Year/50,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
BMW’s new-vehicle and powertrain warranties last four years or 50,000 miles, whichever happens first. This is typical for European luxury car makers. Roadside assistance is included for that period, but with unlimited mileage. Scheduled maintenance is free for three years or 36,000 miles, which is less typical.
<h3>Safety</h3>
The M2 Coupe hasn’t been crash-tested by any agencies in the United States. This generation of 2 Series Coupe earned four stars out of a possible five from the Euro NCAP program. Standard safety equipment includes forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, and blind-spot monitoring.

The big story this year is the 523-horsepower 2026 BMW M2 CS — the most powerful M car on the market with rear-wheel drive, and available in a limited run. The regular 2026 M2 gains new designs for its alloy wheels and a new digital key (using a phone app) as standard.

Beneath the 2025 Tesla Cybertruck’s distinctive sheet metal lies a capable electric pickup with excellent towing and payload capacity.

<ul>

<li>Polarizing styling</li>
<li>Inconsistent build quality</li>
</ul>

The Cybertruck is incredibly quick, with acceleration as good as zero-to-60 mph in 2.6 seconds. That’s something you would expect to hear about in a supercar, not a truck that can tow 11,000 pounds. Even if you don’t opt for the fastest triple-motor Cyberbeast, all <a href="https://www.kbb.com/compare-cars/results?vehicleIds=476834|475797|475862">Cybertruck trims</a> are highly responsive off the line.
There are some driving functions that are different from other trucks, but the learning curve isn’t too steep. Steering by wire allows you to turn corners without having to go “hand over hand” or take your hands off the wheel at all. The turn signals are buttons on the left side of the steering wheel instead of on a stalk. And there are no gauges in front of you; everything is within the large center screen and easy to see at a glance. Also, the truck’s unique exterior styling creates some blind spots when driving.
It has a decent ride, not cushy like the Ram 1500, but comfortable enough day to day. Its available adaptive air suspension provides a range of settings from sporty to soft. It also allows 12 inches of suspension travel and 16 inches of ground clearance, so it can definitely go off-road. For greater maneuverability, the Cybertruck also offers rear-wheel steering.

Tough Exterior

Tesla employs a unibody construction for the Cybertruck, as opposed to the traditional body-on-frame arrangement. It’s going to take a lot to dent a Cybertruck and the stainless steel is rust resistant. The glass is likewise ultra strong and armored with polymer-layered composite.
According to Tesla, the 6.5-foot composite bed supplies 100 cubic feet of lockable storage. It can also take 4×8 plywood sheets. The roller-shutter tonneau cover is strong enough for someone to stand on. You can even fit an ATV in the open bed, and Tesla offers an optional ramp. The bed houses 120-volt and 240-volt outlets, and an air compressor is available.
The Cybertruck looks bigger than it actually is. At 223.7 inches long, it’s 8 inches shorter than a typical Ford F-150.

Supercar Acceleration 
The top-of-the-line Cyberbeast can go from 0 to 60 mph in 2.6 seconds. That&#8217;s McLaren and Ferrari territory.
Excellent Range 
Getting up to 354 miles on a single charge makes it easier to get more work done during the day without range anxiety.
Legit Truck Capability 
With 11,000 pounds of towing capacity and an integrated trailer brake controller, 2,500 pounds of payload capacity, and up to 16 inches of ground clearance, the Cybertruck is set up to do real truck work.
Additional Charge Ports 
Three 3-prong outlets along the side of the Cybertruck&#8217;s bed make it easy to power tools or other gear while away from home.
Adaptive Air Suspension 
In addition to the generous ground clearance, the adaptive suspension has a wade mode for water crossings. It also has different comfort settings for highway driving.
Handy Touchscreens 
Almost all the controls you need are in one easy-to-reach central location.

Minimalist Interior

The 5-passenger Cybertruck comes only in one crew cab body style with four full-size doors. That triangular profile is something to look out for when getting into the back seats — watch your head — but there is room in the back for tall passengers.
The interior has a very clean design, which isn’t the current trend for trucks, but should absolutely appeal to minimalists. With the exception of the rectangular steering wheel, the biggest feature on the dashboard is the 17-inch touchscreen. That screen controls climate, audio, and navigation, as well as the truck-centric features like suspension, towing, hauling, opening/closing the tonneau, and off-roading.
There is an additional 9.4-inch touchscreen for rear passengers, for watching videos or to adjust temperature and fan speed. Under the rear seats is extra storage space, and the seat bottoms lift up and out of the way to open up cargo space when needed. Another storage area, a large frunk, is beneath the Cybertruck&#8217;s hood.

While its looks are polarizing, there is much more to the Cybertruck than what meets the eye. Beneath the angular cold-rolled steel body, there is an electric truck that’s very fast, very capable, and in some cases, very expensive. There is no doubt this truck turns heads, but setting that aside, the Cybertruck has the highest payload capacity, fastest zero-to-60 mph time, and near-best towing capacity in this small but growing segment. It competes with the Ford F-150 Lightning, Chevy Silverado EV, and GMC Sierra EV, plus the smaller Rivian R1T.
We’ve logged hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/electric-car/best-electric-trucks/">electric pickups</a>, including the Tesla Cybertruck.

For comparison, the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/ford/f150-lightning/">Ford F-150 Lightning</a> starts at $55K for the XLT (or $52K for the commercial Pro trim). The 2025 <a href="https://www.kbb.com/chevrolet/silverado-ev/">Chevrolet Silverado EV</a> starts at around $75K, with the closely related <a href="https://www.kbb.com/gmc/sierra-ev/">GMC Sierra EV</a> at about $92K because it launched in the top Denali trim. The <a href="https://www.kbb.com/gmc/hummer-ev-suv/">GMC Hummer EV</a> Pickup is more like $99K. The <a href="https://www.kbb.com/rivian/r1t/">Rivian R1T</a> starts in the $72K region.
Before buying a new Cybertruck electric pickup, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should be paying. We expect resale value to be above average for its segment.

Battery and Efficiency

The All-Wheel Drive version of the new Cybertruck has an EPA-rated range of 325 miles. Tesla estimates that the Long Range model will have a 354-mile range. The 3-motor Cyberbeast can run for 301 miles.
Looking at the maximum ranges of rival electric trucks, the Ford F-150 Lightning can run for 320 miles with its Extended package. The Chevy Silverado EV is capable of 408 miles, the Rivian R1T can manage 420 miles, and the GMC Hummer EV Pickup’s maximum range is 318 miles.
Using the network of Tesla Superchargers is the fastest way of recharging the Cybertruck, with about 136 miles of range added in 15 minutes at 250 kW. That’s quick. Once back at the ranch, it’s best to use a 240-volt charger (Tesla sells these things), but count on a full replenishment taking about 10 hours.
<h3>Payload and Towing</h3>
The Cybertruck has a 6’4” bed, and this truck’s maximum payload is 2,500 pounds. In tandem with its 11,000-pound towing ability, this pickup is extremely capable. Both the Cyberbeast and All-Wheel Drive trims can tow 11,000 pounds. The Ford F-150 Lightning manages 2,000 pounds and can tow up to 10,000 pounds. We’re looking at 1,485/12,000 pounds for the GMC Hummer EV Pickup. The Rivian R1T is rated at 1,760/11,000 pounds. And the Chevy Silverado EV can handle 1,800 pounds of payload and can tow 12,500 pounds.
<h3>4-Year/50,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
Tesla’s new-vehicle limited warranty lasts four years or 50,000 miles, whichever happens first. These terms are typical among luxury manufacturers. The battery is covered for eight years or 150,000 miles, which is a little better than most.
<h3>Safety</h3>
The Tesla Cybertruck earned a 5-Star rating from the National Highway Traffic Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NHTSA</a>).

What's new for 2025
