Toyota and Acura retain their original value the most of any other brands after 5 years of ownership, according to the Edmunds.com annual Best Retained Value awards.
Toyota won in the non-luxury division with a projected 52.4 percent residual value after 5 years. Acura won in the luxury division with a projected 5-year value of 46.9 percent.
Of the 24 segment awards, Toyota had the most wins — the Tacoma, Avalon, Tundra and Highlander. The GS 350 and GX 460 won for its Lexus brand.
General Motors Co. had 3 segment winners — the GMC Acadia, GMC Yukon and Chevrolet Corvette. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles also had 3 — the Dodge Challenger, Jeep Wrangler and Ram Promaster. Ford Motor Co. had 2 — the F-350 Super Duty and Transit Connect.
“Smart-car shoppers who are likely to sell their car within 5 years should always stop and consider projected residual values before making a new car purchase,” Edmunds.com consumer advice editor Carroll Lachnit said.
