Subaru has ascended to the top of our brand rankings, supplanting Lexus and Toyota, which have traded the two top spots for many years.

Of Subaru's seven models in our survey, two-the Forester and Impreza-have well-above-average reliability scores, while the Crosstrek, Legacy, Outback, and Ascent rate above average and average.

"Subaru's cars share many reliable components," says Steven Elek, who oversees auto data analytics at Consumer Reports. "This commonality means that when Subaru redesigns a vehicle, it can make fewer incremental changes by carrying over dependable systems. This reduces the risk of new problems."
