It doesn’t have to be hard to find a car that’s quiet, regardless of your ideal style.
U.S. News & World Report released its list of the Quietest Cars, SUVs and Trucks in 2024. When determining the rankings, U.S. News looked at which sedans, SUVs, and hybrid and electric cars have “hushed cabins and refined rides.”
Many of the vehicles they named, however, were luxury vehicles. To highlight more affordable options, our list includes those that have a starting retail price below $75,000. The following are the top-rated vehicles, from most to least expensive.
1. Genesis Electrified G80
Model year recognized for quietness: 2024
Starting price for the base model: $74,375
The G80 has an EPA-estimated 282-mile range. It can charge from 10% to 80% in about 22 minutes, according to Genesis, using a 350kW/800V DC Ultra-Fast Charger. The brand also teamed up with Electrify America to provide three years of complimentary 30-minute DC charging sessions to Electrified G80 owners.

The Rivian R1T’s “well-built cabin” and “more refined on-road driving manners” are a couple of factors behind its quieter ride. But its quiet interior doesn’t mean this truck is delicate. It can drive through more than 3 feet of water, rock crawl a 100% grade and tow up to 11,000 pounds.
