Autotrader’s list of best new cars, in alphabetical order, is:

“The VW ID. Buzz is about more than just its jaw-dropping design,” Autotrader’s Eric Brandt writes in his review. “To me, it’s exciting because the minivan segment finally has an EV. Although this will likely be driven as a fashion statement more than a family hauler, it’s still good to see my favorite segment get an all-electric option.”
