Introducing…The Car Book 2020

For thirty-nine years, the Center for Auto Safety has published The Car Book, America’s Most Comprehensive Car-Buying Guide. The Car Book is now even more convenient and accessible—we’ve made it available online. Now, you can have all the most important make and model information at your disposal with just a click of the mouse—or fingertip.

Each year, the Center collaborates with the legendary Jack Gillis to provide a thorough look at everything—the good and the bad—that each year’s fleet has to offer. The Car Book Online is full of all the facts that you need to make an informed purchase of a vehicle this year, including:

crash test ratings;
rollover ratings;
maintenance costs;
fuel economy information;

lemon ratings;
reliability by make and model;
insights on the best safety and electronic add-ons;
ratings on used car models for the past five years;
and information about lots electric vehicle options.
