With the Los Angeles Auto Show in high gear this week and new models launching, ALG — the analytics division of TrueCar — has shared some data and analysis on how well these vehicles may hold their respective values.

Below is ALG’s data as well as thoughts from vice president of industry insights Eric Lyman on more than a dozen different models.

Note, per ALG: Residual values are on 2015 model-year vehicles, based on the November/December edition and are trim mix weighted. 

Infiniti Q80 Inspiration Concept

On average, 2015 model-year vehicles in the premium executive segment command a residual value of 44.0 percent. The ALG Residual Value Award winner in the segment, the Porsche Panamera, is at 47.1 percent.

As for the Infiniti Q80 Inspiration Concept, Lyman said: “Infiniti has been pondering a return to the premium executive segment for a while, and the brand views it as a way to match the cachet of the leaders from Germany and Lexus.

 “It’s a very tough competitive set, but Infiniti maybe have a chance to make an impact with innovative thinking on powertrains and autonomous driving capability, with advanced technology being one of the best ways to honor the legacy of the Q45,” he said.

Scion iM Concept

The average residual value for the subcompact utility segment is at 50.2 percent, with the ALG RVA winner (MINI Countryman) at 51.7 percent. The Scion xB is at 52.1 percent.

“While the first generation xB was a surprise hit, the follow-up never really caught on,”  Lyman said. “In fact, Scion has been in need of a brand overhaul, and the original pattern of bringing over Japanese market cars for U.S. consumption has fizzled.

“It looks like Toyota may be trying this tack with its European products, which has worked well for some brands, particularly Ford.”

Volvo XC90 (Model-Year 2015)

This model is projected to command a 43.1 percent residual value, compared to a 53.5 percent average for the premium midsize utility three-row segment and 58.2-percent residual value for the Lexus GX, the RVA winner.

“The original XC90 was a roaring success when it debuted in a relatively young midsize luxury crossover segment,” Lyman said.  “This second-generation will serve as Volvo’s new flagship, with a fresh design language — especially on the inside — and infotainment and safety equipment that will set the tone for the Volvo brand going forward.”

Kia Sorento (Model-Year 2016)

Next up, the Kia Sorento’s latest iteration is expected to have a 46.8 percent residual value, versus the midsize utility third-row seating average of 51.3 percent and a 58.9 percent value for the RVA winning Toyota Highlander.

“Kia’s Sorento has been stuck in between segments for its entire life, but that’s about to change with the latest version, which is set to compete as a real midsizer,” said Lyman. “While the second generation was a big leap forward in terms of styling, this latest model combines know-how from three different continents to create one of the most compelling styling statements we’ve seen from Kia.”

Mercedes-AMG GT (Model-Year 2016)

In the Mercedes-AMG GT’s segment (premium sports car), the average residual value is 49.5 percent and the RVA winner (Audi TT) had a 54.4 percent residual.

Lyman said: “The SLS Gullwing is a particularly tough act to follow, but if the AMG GT is truly meant to be a 911 competitor, then its significantly lower pricing will be its ace in the hole. The GT further refines the cab-rearward styling language of the SLS, and introduces the new 4.0L turbo engine, which is the next generation core powertrain for AMG, so it will be a great flagship for the new Mercedes-AMG lineup.”

Jaguar XE (Model-Year 2017)

Next up, the premium midsize segment had an residual of 47.8 percent, with the RVA-winning Lexus IS at 51.6 percent.

So what about the Jaguar XE?

“In contrast to some other brands which have difficulty sustaining viable flagship models, Jaguar has had a tough time playing at the lower end of the market,” Lyman said. “Its average transaction price is above $80,000, so its center of gravity is significantly higher than other luxury brands, even top-tier marques like Mercedes.

“When Jaguar shifts it focus with the new XE, it’ll settle the question of whether the Brits can play in the most competitive segment in the luxury sector,” he added.

Land Rover Discovery Sport (Model-Year 2015)

ALG’s analysis indicates that the premium compact utility segment has an average residual of 49.9 percent, with the RVA-winning Porsche Macan at 55.4 percent. The Land Rover LR 2 is at 48.1 percent.

As for the Land Rover Discover Sport, Lyman had this to say: “Land Rover’s lineup is particularly strong with the Range Rover models, each of which finished on the podium in our Residual Value Awards, but the LR2 has been a laggard in this respect. The Discovery Sport reintroduces a great name to the lineup in the U.S., breaking the mold of luxury alphanumerics, and it gives Land Rover a chance to establish a second great sub-brand.”

MINI Hardtop 5-Door (Model-Year 2015)

In this segment (the premium compact), the average residual is 50.6 percent, but the MINI Hardtop led the pack at 52.8 percent, ALG indicated.

“Several years ago when Jeep introduced the Wrangler Unlimited, it was a natural extension of the nameplate that opened up an entire lifestyle to a new segment of the population,” Lyman noted. “While MINI has done that to some extent with variants like the Clubman and Countryman, this new 5-door keeps more of the classic MINI shape, while allowing for more usability, and it could be a dream come true for many buyers.”

Honda HR-V (Model-Year 2015)

Diving into the subcompact utility segment, this class had an average residual value of 50.2 percent. The MINI Countryman was the latest RVA winner (51.7 percent). The Honda Fit was at 57.1 percent.

“Like many small vehicle segments, subcompact utility is growing rapidly, and Honda’s brand is a perfect fit for a new entry,” Lyman said. “The Fit’s platform is a great place to start, with light weight, sporty handling and great utility, and the HR-V should kick that utility factor up a whole order of magnitude.”

Mazda MX-5 Miata (Model-Year 2016)

In the sports car class (which pulled in a 49.1 percent average residual), the leader was the Subaru WRX (57.7 percent). The Mazda Miata had a 51.1 percent residual.

“The MX-5 has long been one of the purest-driving cars on the road, and one of the secret loves of auto enthusiasts,” Lyman said. “But Mazda wants those buyers to go more public with their admiration, giving the latest model more masculine styling that will have broader appeal, while also giving it the tech and refinement that brings it up to speed with the rest of Mazda’s lineup.”

Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR (Model-Year 2015)

The premium midsize utility second-row seating segment had and average residual value of 48.6 percent, with the RVA winner being the Land Rover Range Rover Sport (55.9 percent).

“With nearly every luxury marque having a distinct performance unit now, Land Rover couldn’t resist jumping into the fray with the first of its SVR models,” Lyman said. “It’s good for the brand, helping to bolster its performance credentials just as it has for the Germans, and once JLR’s Special Vehicle Operations becomes established, these models will have big resale premiums.”

Tesla Model S D (Model-Year 2015)

Next up, the residual value average for the alternative-fuel segment was 46.4 percent, with the RVA-winning Toyota Prius v at 50.1 percent. 

Here’s what Lyman had to say about the Model S D:  “While the Model S’s performance was already impressive, Tesla has kicked it up to supercar levels for the P85D, with dual motors imparting AWD and a 3.2-second 0-60 time — the same as for a Porsche 911 Turbo! If the company continues to introduce advancements like this, the cult of Tesla will continue to grow.”

Mazda CX-3 (Model-Year 2015)

As mentioned earlier in the analysis, subcompact utilities pull an average residual value of 50.2 percent, and RVA winner MINI Countryman is at 51.7 percent.  The Mazda CX-5 had a residual of 49.0 percent.

In a segment Lyman said is “exploding,” here are his thoughts on the Mazda CX-3.

“The number of entries in the subcompact utility segment is exploding, with Jeep, Honda, Chevy, Fiat and Mazda all jumping in within the next year and a half,” he said. “Based on Mazda’s recent track record, though, the CX-3 should be one of the best entries in the category, with great styling and dynamics, and an efficient SkyActiv powertrain.”

Ford Explorer (Model-Year 2016)

In Lyman’s last bit of analysis, he looks at the Ford Explorer, which has a residual value of 51.2 percent. That compares evenly to a 51.3 percent average for the midsize utility third-row seating segment. As a comparison, the Toyota Highlander’s residual was at 58.9 percent.

“The Explorer is still selling like gangbusters, with nearly 200,000 sales last year,” Lyman noted. “Ford will try to keep this momentum up with a refresh for 2016, and they’re expected to upgrade the EcoBoost engine, in addition to the increased driver-assist equipment they’ve alluded to.”

Lastly, while there wasn’t commentary on the Fiat 500X, ALG’s analysis did note the Fiat 500L had 42.8 percent residuals, with subcompact utilities at 50.2 percent.
