Rocket League has one of the highest rankings on all platforms, making it a fan-favorite worldwide. Fans who already play the game know that the game offers a myriad of cars to browse and collect, and some don' quite know where to start or what to look for. Here to help is this handy list of the best-ranked cars in the game.

10 Twin Mill III

Because of its gimmicky Hot Wheels design, this is not a popular choice for many. But in reality, this car can come in handy in any match. For those who prefer a defensive role throughout the game, the length and width of the car are perfect for deflecting hits from the sidelines or pass.

But for the more aggressive players, the Twin Mill III's flat, wide, and short "nose" is perfect for ball control and straight-on hits. Players have to get used to the feel and style of this car, but that can be said for any other car in the game. For the players who don't mind, or are a fan of the Hot Wheels design, this could be a favorite.

9 Bone Shaker

This beast is another representative of the Hot Wheels squad. Once again, an overlooked vehicle because of its gimmicky look, but in fact, it's a real asset and functions very well. Because of the Bone Shaker's massive size and flat top, it's a great car for those aggressive plays and impressive passes.

Its stats are surprisingly close to the Octane's, which is one of the best cars in the game, if not the best. It truly looks like a toy and fits right in with the game's style. Plus, the Bone Shaker is actually a great addition to the game.

8 Breakout

The Breakout is one of the three default cars in Rocket League, alongside Octane and Merc. Although it's not as popular as the Octane, it's a close second for many. It's a great choice for players who are just starting out.

Breakout is great at leading balls, passing, and its flat top allows a lot of impressive maneuvers. The only big downside to this vehicle is its clumsiness in the air, but once a player gets used to the funky handling, it can hold its own mid-air as well.

7 Endo

The Endo in design is a bit boxier than other popular cars in the game. While it lacks in cornering, Endo is one of the best cars for those mid-air handling. In width and height, Endo is similar to Octane, but its length gives it a true advantage in the game, as it's visibly longer.

Players love to play with this car, as the handling feels great, and those mid-air moments are fantastic and a great asset throughout the game. It also looks awesomely elegant, with its lean but strong exterior ruling the stadion.

6 Aftershock

A lot of fans love this little powerhouse. It looks like a hyperactive child and acts like it too. Its incredible speed and reaction to strong turns are absolutely flawless, making the Aftershock one of the best cars when it comes to handling.

Handling-wise it's similar to the Dominus, so people who use one usually can easily switch to the other. While this little car looks like a cardboard box on wheels, it does have a little heavy feel when driving, but that only makes it seem more stable and grounded.

5 Marauder

The Marauder is another underrated choice, and it being a part of Rocket League's DLC package doesn't help its cause. But while the exterior doesn't give it away, this car has very close relations to the Octane, one of the best cars in the game.

This monstrosity of a machine is perfect for defensive plays and more of a goalie role, passing shots back before it's too late. The Marauder's enormous and intimidating look is off-putting for some, and the handling is not as smooth because of it, but because it's so massive, it can serve hits like no other and is perfect for defending the goal. A true asset, a true beast, this car is definitely one to look out for.

4 Mantis

The Mantis' design is incredible. Its length is perfect for players to defend the ball for a long amount of time, but it's not too long, making its handling amazing. It has the best boosting and turning in the entire game, and because of its lean design, its mid-air handling is great as well.

Because of its mid-air performance, easy handling, and design, the Mantis is great for more defensive gameplay. It's also a very fun car to drive, players who've tried it fall in love in a heartbeat.

3 Batmobile

The Batmobile is the chef's kiss of cars in Rocket League. The design is immaculate, giving perfect Dark Knight chills. Players will see a lot of Batmobiles in higher levels and is a very popular choice for a number of reasons.

It's the longest car in the game and has an angular design that allows players to make precise shots like a dream. The Batmobile's wide and flat body makes this car perform very well in the air as well. A few cars that are most similar to this beast therefore honorable mentions: the Artemis, Centio, and Sentinel.

2 Dominus

After the Octane, this is the most popular car that is seen in high levels. It's very easy to handle, performs great mid-air, and handles corners perfectly. It's the best of both worlds, performing like a dream both on the ground and in the air.

Other than that, Dominus looks absolutely flawless. That elongated front, with the little details and the colors, the Dominus gives classic muscle car vibes and makes any player feel like a million dollars. A true asset throughout the gameplay, great for offense and defense, players stay loyal to this gem.

1 Octane

The Octane is the number one favorite car of almost all players, and the only reason that's surprising is because it's one of the default cars in the game. Amateurs and pros enjoy this car the same, staying loyal to it almost throughout their time in Rocket League. The reason the Octane is the most popular choice is that it's literally flawless. It has an immaculate design, handles like a dream, and fits every sharp corner like a glove.

The Octane's design is thought out very well, making the car to be able to maneuver with the ball both on the ground and in the air effortlessly. Although most players like to switch around and experiment with various vehicles, most people turn back right to where they started. It's one of those rare moments when a car is a jack of all and also a king of all.
