Looking for Best Retained Value? Think Honda

Posted on April 20, 2018

When you buy a car, you aren’t always thinking about its future value. You can have regret in a few years when it’s time to change cars again, and you discover your vehicle isn’t worth much at all. But smart car shoppers know that one of the best criteria to look at is a car’s retained value. For 2018, there are three Honda models that have been recognized by Edmunds with the Best Retained Value in their class.

What Does Best Retained Value Mean?

It helps to understand what the Edmunds Best Retained Value Award is all about. As everyone knows, cars depreciate in value over time. But you also know that some depreciate more than others. The Edmunds Best Retained Value Awards highlight models that are projected to depreciate the least. It’s a projection for a vehicle’s five-year residual value. That means that vehicles with the best retained value will keep more of their worth five years down the road.

Which Honda Models Won 2018 Edmunds Best Retained Value Awards?

This year, three Honda models took home top honors in their categories for amazing retained value.
  • Honda Civic is the winner in the compact car segment. It’s a very efficient model with coupe, sedan, hatchback, and high-performance trims in its repertoire. Due to its reliability, popularity, and its awesome looks, the Honda Civic will hold its value incredibly well over five years.
