Which Brands Made the WardsAuto 10 Best Interiors List?

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich.––While we all care most about how a car gets us from A to B, looks and features play a big part in our satisfaction with our vehicles. Sometimes when shopping for a car, we can get lost in the exterior looks as it's a direct reflection of us as a person. What's even more important? The interior! So which brands made the WardsAuto 10 Best Interiors list? We're proud to announce we carry 4 out of the 10 brands that did!

The brands that made the list include Audi, BMW, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Honda, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, and Volvo. Most of the vehicles which made the list are considered to be luxury or at least lean towards the luxury side. Each brand had a specific car that made the list for various reasons including:

• aesthetics
• design harmony
• materials
• comfort
• ergonomics
• value
• safety
• fit & finish

 The vehicles which made the list from the 4 brands we carry include the following:

Cadillac XT5 - $63,845

Audi TTS - $58,500

Nissan Maxima - $38,750

Volvo XC90 - $84,005

There were 47 originally entered for evaluation, 19 of which come from premium brands. Each entry vehicle must have had an all-new or significantly updated or redesigned interior to be eligible and be considered affordable. Testers also made sure to play with the human-machine interface to check for user-friendliness and to see how the vehicle's information is communicated.

“It’s important that the Wards 10 Best Interiors list include mainstream, affordable vehicles,” says Drew Winter, director-content at WardsAuto. “But the average price of a new vehicle in the U.S. has risen past $33,000, which is forcing us to reconsider how we define mainstream, affordable vehicles.”
If you're interested in experiencing the most comfortable and stylish interiors of the year, we'd be happy to show you around these models and more!
