When choosing to buy a car, in addition to financial ability, resale value after use is also an important factor. According to Kelley Blue Book, a new car can lose nearly 58% of its value after five years. However, some budget brands still maintain good value after this time.
Toyota ranks first with the ability to retain nearly 70% of value after 5 years of use. Models like the 4Runner, Tacoma and Highlander stand out for their outstanding performance. Toyota is a safe choice whether it's a new or used car. Car models of this brand often maintain higher prices than many other brands.
Mazda also has the ability to keep prices well, behind Toyota with a rate of 65% of car resale value. Car models like the MX-5 and CX-3 are typical examples of value preservation. Mazda does not have a very outstanding car model, but is still highly appreciated for its quality and reliability.
Honda is also a reliable choice with a 5-year price retention rate of about 65%. Models like the Civic and CR-V often hold their prices the best. Honda is known for its durability and high resale value, making it a popular choice for those looking for durable and reliable cars.
Subaru is also on the list with its impressive ability to maintain prices, especially the BRZ, Impreza and Outback models. Subaru combines reliability and safety, helping the brand retain its value after many years of use.
Jeep, specifically the Wrangler, is the only non-Japanese brand on the list. The Jeep Wrangler stands out for its ability to hold its value well, although other models like the Cherokee and Compass don't hold their value as well.
