SANTA MONICA, Calif. -

In areas such as collective health of a brand, how well the brand manages new-vehicle transaction prices, and incentives against used-vehicle values and remarketing strategies, Subaru and Land Rover continue to perform well.

That is at least the case for ALG’s 2019 Canadian Residual Value Awards.

For the fifth year in a row, ALG recognized Subaru as the top mainstream brand. Land Rover won the Residual Value Award for Premium Brands for the fourth time.  

ALG, a future vehicle values forecasting company that is the analytics subsidiary of digital automotive marketplace, TrueCar, determined the award winners by analyzing used-vehicle performance, brand outlook and product competitiveness.

To be eligible for a brand award, a manufacturer must have vehicle entries in at least four different segments. The awards account for differences across trim levels, with model averages weighted based on percentage share relative to the entire model line.

Land Rover won an award in three of the premium segments with the Range Rover Sport, Range Rover and Discovery. For mainstream brand, Subaru captured awards in four vehicle segments with the Impreza, Crosstrek, Outback and WRX.
