Not all cars, trucks and SUVs are created equal.<\/p>\n

Especially when it comes to new vehicles that hold their value best in the years after purchase.<\/p>\n

A study of more than 4.3 million new and used car sales by the shopping website iSeeCars.com identified 25 models that hold their value better than average. That is, depreciating less than the average new car, which loses 50.2 percent of value after five years.<\/p>\n

The No. 1 and No. 2 vehicles overall are the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and Jeep Wrangler, which depreciated just 27.3 percent \u2013 retaining 72.7 percent of their value \u2013 over five years. The Wrangler is considered a sport utility vehicle or SUV.<\/p>\n

The remainder of the top five and six of the top 10 vehicles that hold their value best are pickups.<\/p>\n

Here are the top 25 vehicles listed by category and including overall rank, depreciation and amount of retained value after five years, based on the iSeeCars.com study<\/a><\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Jeeps topped the list because they \u201care known for retaining their value due to their enduring popularity, as well as their durability and performance across all terrains,\u201d said Phong Ly of iSeeCars.com.<\/p>\n

The iSeeCars spokesman attributed the presence of multiple Toyotas (three) and Hondas (two) in the top 10 because they have \u201ca strong brand reputation for their reliability and durability, which helps contribute to their above-average value retention.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPickup trucks depreciate the least of any vehicle segment at 41.3 percent, while cars depreciate at 54.1 percent and SUVs at 51.9 percent,\u201d said Ly. \u201cThe\u00a0lower depreciation for pickup trucks is likely because it is a growing vehicle segment and their popularity is keeping values high.\u201d<\/p>\n

25. Toyota Sienna<\/strong> (minivan) \u2013 50.2 percent, 49.8 percent<\/strong><\/p>\n

Of the lone passenger car on the overall top-10 list, the compact Subaru Impreza, Ly said, \u201cThe Impreza is the only compact vehicle in its class to offer standard all-wheel drive, making it one of the most affordable vehicles with that option. Subarus are also known for their safety and durability, which help contribute to the Impreza\u2019s lower-than-average depreciation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The bottom line<\/h4>\n

\u201cFor consumers who buy new vehicles and sell them around the five-year mark, choosing a model that retains the most value is a smart economic decision,\u201d said Ly. Although, on average, new-car purchasers keep their vehicles about seven years.<\/p>\n

Understanding a vehicle\u2019s depreciation is an important factor in helping both new- and used-car shoppers make an informed purchase decision, according to iSeeCars.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you plan on trading in or selling your vehicle after a few years, a car that retains most of its value can put more money in your pocket for your next car purchase,\u201d said Ly. \u201cIf you are a used car shopper, choosing a car that has already taken a depreciation hit can provide you with a substantial deal.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
