Acura took home one of the top prizes in Edmunds.com’s third annual Best Retained Value® Awards, which recognizes the brands and new car models that have the highest projected residual values after five years based on their average True Market Value® (TMV®) price when sold new. Acura won the luxury crown with a projected five-year residual value of 45.1 percent.
“[...] This is the second year in a row that Acura has won, and the brand clearly has done a great job distinguishing its value in a hypercompetitive luxury market," says Edmunds.com Director of Auto Remarketing Joe Spina.
All vehicle makes with more than 100,000 unit sales in the U.S. in 2012 were eligible for this year’s brand-level Best Retained Value® Awards. All model-year 2013 vehicles that were launched by the end of 2012 and had unit sales in March 2013 that were at least 20 percent of the average unit sales for the models in its segment were eligible for this year’s model-level Best Retained Value® Awards. Edmunds determined each model’s competitive segment based on its body type and the sales-weighted average MSRP of all available styles (excluding destination charges) of that model’s body type.
