“Honda vehicles are engineered to provide a fun-to-drive experience as well as overall value for the money,” said Michael Accavitti, senior vice president of automobile operations at American Honda. “With a continued focus on quality, fuel efficiency and premium content, we have always believed that a Honda provides every buyer with added value, and we are honored to be recognized for our efforts by valuation leader Kelley Blue Book.”
Kelley Blue Book’s Best Resale Value Awards are based on projections from the Kelley Blue Book® Official Residual Value Guide. These prestigious awards honor vehicles expected to maintain the greatest proportion of their original Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) after five years of ownership. Since depreciation (or loss of value) is typically a car buyer’s primary expense during ownership, these awards are designed to help consumers make more informed car-buying decisions.
“Honda earns three segment awards this year and a seat in the Top 10 with its impressive lineup,” said Eric Ibara, director of residual consulting for Kelley Blue Book. “Repeating their category wins for the 2014 model year, Honda Accord, CR-V and Civic Si live up to its high expectations, continuing to dominate among competitors.”
