Editors' Picks August 2021 | Honda Civic, Mercedes S - Class And More
This month of Editors' Picks saw us award the honor to a couple of redesigned stalwarts like the Honda Civic and Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Plus, a new crossover that splits the difference between the compact and subcompact class takes home the prize. On top of this, we'll introduce you to a new term: midcompact. We'll be using this to describe those in-between crossovers that are a tad too small to be considered compact, but too large to neatly fit into the subcompact class. For a few examples of these "midcompact" cars, we'll point you to the Ford Bronco Sport, Kia Seltos and VW Seltos.
In case you missed our previous Editors' Picks posts, here's a quick refresher on what's going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get Editors' Pick status. Those are the ones we'd recommend to our friends, family and anybody who's curious and asks the question. The list that you'll find below consists of every car we rated in August that earned an Editors' Pick.
