Cars 3: Driven to Win received "mixed or average" reviews from critics, according to review aggregator Metacritic.[6][7][8]
IGN España said "Cars 3: Driven to Win is a fun game to play with our children, using a Mario Kart style control, but simplifying it rightly. A good number of hours of play to unlock all its contents make the purchase worthwhile if you have children fans of the Pixar film."[11]
