Which Cars Hold Their Value Best?

If resale value is a priority, some vehicles are simply better investments than others. Cars with the best resale value typically share a few common traits.

Strong reliability reputations, steady consumer demand, and lower production numbers relative to demand all help a vehicle hold its value over time. Trucks and SUVs from popular brands often depreciate slower than comparable sedans, partly due to sustained high demand in the used market.

Maintenance history also plays a role in resale value at the individual vehicle level — a well-documented service history can meaningfully boost what a specific car is worth compared to an otherwise identical model with unknown history.
