Kelley Blue Book's 'Best Resale Value' award winners are all trucks, SUVs
I suppose it shouldn't come as a surprise that, as buyers keep moving toward and , the resale value of lightly used trucks and SUVs will likely rise. But it's still surprising that these two segments dominated Kelley Blue Book's top-10 list of future resale values.
Kelley Blue Book recently published its for the 2019 model year. All 10 vehicles in the top 10 for resale value are trucks and SUVs -- there are no to speak of whatsoever. The 2019 took the top spot, with the 2019 Jeep Wrangler, 2019 and 2019 GMC Sierra hot on its heels. You can check out the full list in the gallery at the bottom of this article.
There's even a in the mix. The 2019 Porsche Macan took the No. 10 spot on the list. While that might seem odd, it really isn't -- Porsche took home KBB's award for being the luxury brand with the best resale value ( won the mass-market category). It's the third year Porsche has occupied this slot.
Thankfully, KBB also breaks its Best Resale Value awards down by segments, so some sedans do end up getting love. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the 2019 took home the award in the compact-car segment, but the Legacy beat the august in the mid-size segment. The Shelby GT350 won the sports car segment, while the 2019 Audi A7 topped the luxury car segment.
Perhaps the most talked-about sedan at the moment, the , won the electric vehicle segment. The was hot on its tail, with the E-Tron taking a respectable third place.
While you might take a pause and wonder how this was all figured out, considering some cars on these lists aren't even on sale yet, there's all sorts of backroom math being done before every car goes on sale -- that's how lease prices and residuals are figured out for the earliest buyers.
