The Honor Roll

Overall & category scores

Efficiency & Range is graded within powertrain class — a car’s economy and range are normalized against others that store energy the same way, since MPG and MPGe are not the same measurement. So it awards a winner each for gas, hybrid, plug-in and electric, and those four GPAs are not comparable with each other. How grading works →
