CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -

On Friday, CarGurus named the recipients of its inaugural Best Used Car Awards, which recognize the best recent-year used-car models across seven body style categories.

CarGurus’ new award considers each vehicle’s long-term value retention projections along with driver satisfaction based on both consumer and expert reviews.

“Vehicle generations which include the 2013 model year were considered in their entirety when evaluating nominees,” the car shopping and research site said in a news release.

Nominees were selected from late model cars initially available for sale in the U.S.

The model with the highest overall score was determined to be the winner for each category.

“Most car shoppers are looking for quality and reliability in a used vehicle, as well as some assurance that the car they are buying is worth the investment,” CarGurus.com editor Matt Smith said. “To arrive at our list of award winners, we combed through thousands of expert and user reviews for hundreds of vehicles, and also compared long-term value retention projections. The winning models certainly have a lot to offer drivers once they get behind the wheel.”
