Coming off a year when Subaru saw sales growth that outpaced the industry average, Subaru models are also expected to retain more of their value than any competitor. Kelly Blue Book has calculated that the average 2015 Subaru model, will retain 46.3 percent of its residual value five years from now. "Both Subaru and Lexus have kept their values high in the past, and will likely continue to do so in the future by limiting the number of vehicles they build while also increasing consumer demand with high quality models," said Eric Ibara, Director of Residual Value at Kelly Blue Book.
Subaru now holds the top spot on KBB's list after finishing third in 2014. Subaru values are expected to retain 5.3 percent more than the industry average. "The bottom line is that both of these brands make very good vehicles people want," Ibara said.
