The Canadian Black Book has revealed the passenger cars and trucks under $70,000 that retain the highest value after four years. It goes without saying that the Canadian Black Book evaluated the residual value of 2005 model years.
In previous years, awards were given to the brands with the best performance. This year, the organization was much more selective, singling out individual models. Each automaker has models that perform better than others and that retain a higher residual value after four years.
The Canadian Black Book also recognized Japanese manufacturer Toyota, who succeeded in placing five models among the top ten. The top ten models are:
Toyota RAV4
Dodge Sprinter
MINI Cooper
Toyota Echo
smart fortwo
Honda Civic
Toyota Tacoma
Toyota Corolla
Toyota Matrix
Mazda3
The following five vehicles are those that increased their residual value percentage the most since last year:
Ford Focus
Honda Civic
Kia Spectra
Nissan Sentra
Toyota Echo
