SANTA MONICA, Calif. -

On Tuesday, Edmunds.com released its third annual Best Retained Value Awards, which recognize the brands and new models that have the highest projected residual values after five years based on their average True Market Value price when sold new.

The site highlighted that Jeep won in the non-luxury division with a projected 50.6 percent residual value after five years, and Acura took the luxury crown with a projected five-year residual value of 45.1 percent.

“Jeep’s small lineup is led by two popular models — Wrangler and Grand Cherokee — that deliver big residual value for their owners. The Wrangler is especially vital to the brand because its retained value sits at an elite level matched by few other vehicles in any segment,” said Edmunds.com director of remarketing Joe Spina.

“Meanwhile, 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,” Spina continued.

In addition to these brand-level awards, Edmunds.com issued model-level awards in 22 separate categories.

Ford and Toyota tied for the most model winners with four apiece. The site picked three models apiece from both Chevrolet and Honda.

All vehicle badges 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 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.
