These are the best cars, SUVs, and trucks with Android Auto based on iSeeCars' analysis of each vehicle's reliability, resale value and safety.
Best Cars with Android Auto by Vehicle Type
The ability to stream or mirror a smartphone’s interface onto the touchscreen of a vehicle has proven incredibly useful in recent years. This technology allows drivers to access all of their phone’s features and information without being distracted by holding the phone and staring at its screen. Android Auto is one of two popular technologies that makes this possible for Android-based smartphones (Apple CarPlay offers similar features for iPhone users).
Most new cars offer audio, navigation, text messaging, and hands-free phone calls through their infotainment systems when paired with a smartphone using Bluetooth technology. But the straightforward functionality of Android Auto makes it easy to access apps like Google Assistant, Google Maps, Spotify, Waze, and dozens of other popular programs through a car’s large infotainment screen.
While Android Auto originally required a cable between the smartphone and a car’s USB port, automakers began offering wireless Android Auto a few years ago, streamlining the process of connecting to the Android Auto App. This wireless connection works in conjunction with the wireless charging technology that has swept across the automotive industry, making smartphone use a cable-free experience in modern vehicles.
This type of technology was initially limited to premium cars from brands like Acura, Audi, BMW, Lexus, and Mercedes-Benz. It was also common on tech-oriented electric, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid models. But today shoppers can find wireless Android Auto offered by mainstream brands like Ford, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mazda, Nissan, Toyota and Volkswagen. And not just on top-of-line crossovers and SUVs, but also base trim level economy sedans and hatchbacks.

How We Rank These Cars
The Best Cars with Android Auto list ranks vehicles by their iSeeCars Score, which is based on our proprietary assessment of a vehicle’s reliability, resale value and safety (based on ratings from IIHS and NHTSA). The Android Auto feature is available either standard or optional on these cars.
The iSeeCars Score is an analysis of three factors: reliability, resale value and safety. It is calculated based on the latest research and analysis by our data science team. The data analysis comes from over 12 million new and used vehicles in our Longest-Lasting Cars and 5-Year Depreciation Studies, combined with NHTSA and IIHS Safety Ratings.
Vehicles are scored in three categories:
Reliability
The reliability score represents an analysis of iSeeCars' proprietary research on the longest-lasting vehicles.
Value Retention
The value retention score is based on our data science team's statistical analysis and prediction of 5-year depreciation from MSRP to determine which cars hold their value best, using US Bureau of Labor Statistics data to adjust for inflation.
Safety
The safety score is calculated based on the last five years of crash test ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and incorporates the latest Top Safety Pick information from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
