The least reliable models are the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Mazda CX-70, Mazda CX-70 Plug-in Hybrid, Nissan Murano, and Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport. This supports the argument that electric vehicles, with simpler powertrains, tend to be more reliable and cheaper to maintain."

# Consumer Reports’ List of 5 Least Reliable Midsize SUVs Includes 0 EVs

Consumer Reports has revealed the five (5) least reliable midsize SUVs in the United States. Interestingly, shockingly … well, completely unsurprisingly actually, there are no electric vehicles on the list.

The five most unreliable midsize SUVs are the following:

1.  Jeep Grand Cherokee (29/100 reliability rating)
2.  Mazda CX-70 (32/100 reliability rating)
3.  Mazda CX-70 Plug-in Hybrid (32/100 reliability rating)
4.  Nissan Murano (41/100 reliability rating)
5.  Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport (43/100 reliability rating)

One of the key arguments for electric vehicles has long been that they use much simpler powertrains with many fewer moving parts, and should thus be much more reliable and cheaper to maintain. Here’s a real-world case backing up that argument, to some extent at least.

The Consumer Reports research uses owner feedback — surveys of hundreds of thousands of vehicle owners. The company is not influenced by auto company sponsorships (it doesn’t accept those), advertising, or hype. It finds what goes wrong with different vehicle models year after year.

Scanning through the various categories, electric vehicles did seem to perform very well on Consumer Reports’ reliability rankings in several vehicle classes. I’m shocked.
