February 4, 2016
Land Rover and Subaru won top honors in this year's annual Residual Value Awards.
Presented by ALG -- the analytics division of TrueCar -- the Residual Value Awards recognizes vehicles in 26 categories that are forecast to retain the highest percentage of MSRP value after three years. This year's winners were chosen among 2016 models.Land Rover was named overall brand winner for the Premium segment, while Subaru won for the Mainstream brand segment. Other winning models within the 26 categories include the Audi A7, Toyota Tacoma, Honda Pilot, Dodge Charger, and Mini Cooper. Read below for the full list of winners.
And if you're thinking about adding one of these vehicles to your garage, I recommend TrueCar No Haggle and CarsDirect to help you get the lowest price in your local area.
