There's more to the car buying process than practicality and fuel economy.
Sometimes you just want something good-looking, and that can be hard to come by.
That's why we voted on the best-looking — and worst-looking — new cars on sale right now. Check out the video for our thoughts!

At Edmunds, we test everything. And while a car's looks don't factor into a vehicle's final rating as heavily as its practicality, how good it drives or how much helpful tech is packed inside, this time, just for fun, we decided to rate some new 2025 models simply based on their designs.

We looked at every new car on sale and, frankly, some of them didn't stir us one way or the other, but at least 10 did. We sent out a poll to our staffers and let them democratically elect what cars were the five best-looking and five worst-looking new cars on sale. There were some pretty hot takes. So, what do we think about car design and how do we feel about the prettiest and ugliest new cars on sale? You'll just have to watch our video to find out.

Consider These Recommendations
