New Cars and Trucks with the Highest Residual Value in 2020
ALG, which specializes in forecasting future vehicle values, announced the winners of its 2020 Canadian Residual Value Awards just before the start of the Montreal Auto Show last week.
“For consumers, since a vehicle’s depreciation is the single costliest aspect of car ownership, a strong residual value is an indicator of how well that vehicle will hold its value for future resale consideration,” said Michelle MacDonald, Senior Manager, Industry Solutions at ALG.

Award winners are determined through careful analysis of used vehicle performance, brand outlook and product competitiveness. Eligibility for a brand award requires a manufacturer to have vehicle entries in at least four different segments. To account for differences across trim levels, model averages are weighted based on percentage share relative to the entire model line.
Overall, Toyota led the way with the most segment wins in the Mainstream Brand category, taking home six trophies. Porsche, meanwhile, was named the top Premium Brand.
