Car DNA

Our proprietary multi-axis rating system — beyond a single star score.

What is Car DNA?

Car DNA scores each model on nine independent axes from 0–100. A high family score does not require high performance — so you can match cars to how you actually drive. Scores combine spec data, market feedback and historical trends.

Crash test scores, ADAS, build quality
Comfort
Ride, NVH, seats and cabin space
Performance
Power, handling, drivetrain response
Reliability
Long-term ownership track record
Family

City
Maneuverability, visibility, parking ease
Highway
Stability, cruising comfort, overtaking
Resale
Depreciation and demand in used market
Maintenance
