Report says used Honda and Lexus vehicles are the most valuable
Used car prices are up across the industry
It's a seller's market for used cars, with short supplies sending prices to record highs, but what about in a few years?
The 2022 edition of the J.D. Power U.S. ALG Residual Value Awards determined that the Honda and Lexus lineups will have the highest average projected residual values after three years of ownership in the mainstream and luxury categories.
The Honda Civic, Passport and Odyssey received three segment awards, while Lexus won the Premium Compact Utility category with the Lexus NX, but took the overall brand award on consistency.
"The achievement of Lexus speaks to an impressive, industry-leading continuity of residual value across its entire lineup," ALG Vice President Eric Lyman said. "It’s like a decathlete who wins only one of the individual 10 events but scores enough points in each of them to stand atop the podium."
