General Motors (GM) is taking center stage in Car and Driver’s 2025 10Best competition, securing four spots across two categories—more than any other automaker. The Chevrolet Corvette, Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing, and CT5-V Blackwing all earned repeat recognition, and the Chevy Trax made its second consecutive appearance on the 10Best Trucks and SUVs list.
GM’s 2025 recognition underscores its continued dominance in both performance vehicles and affordable options. The Chevy Corvette, now with its 26th 10Best award, remains a force in the sports car segment. This year, both the classic Stingray and the E-Ray, an electrified, all-wheel-drive model, earned the nod. The E-Ray, in particular, stands out as the quickest accelerating Corvette to date, marking a new chapter in the brand’s performance legacy.
Meanwhile, Cadillac’s performance lineup continues to impress. The CT4-V and CT5-V Blackwing have both secured their fourth consecutive 10Best titles, a testament to their power and precision. The CT4-V boasts a 472-horsepower twin-turbo V6 engine, while the CT5-V Blackwing roars with 668 horsepower from a supercharged V8. Both vehicles combine thrilling driving dynamics with updated styling for 2025, making them even more desirable.
The Chevy Trax, now in its second year on the 10Best Trucks and SUVs list, offers an affordable yet versatile option. With starting prices under $26,000, the Trax delivers impressive cargo space, standard safety features, and five trim options, making it a compelling choice for budget-conscious buyers.
While GM’s 2025 10Best recognition highlights the automaker’s strength, it also reflects its ongoing ability to deliver both high-performance vehicles and practical options that cater to a wide range of consumers.
