ALG, an analytics subsidiary of TrueCar, recently named Land Rover with top Overall Brand Honours in ALG’s 9th Annual Canadian Residual Value Awards (RVA) within the Premium Brand sector.
“Residual values are a key indicator of the overall market success and health of a vehicle and brand. Whether a consumer is looking to purchase or lease a vehicle, the largest cost consideration is how much a vehicle will retain its value over time,” said Jim Nguyen, president of ALG. “And with vehicle leasing on the rise, resale values have never been more important to both consumers and automakers.”

RVA forecasts brands and models that will most likely retain highest average values when compared to their original Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) after three years.

Discovery Sport and full-size Range Rover recognized within their respective categories.
The 2017 recipients were presented their awards at the Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto last week.
On another note, Canadian Black Book recognized Land Rover’s Range Rover for its strong resale performance within the “Full-Size Luxury SUV” category in the third-party analytical firm’s 2017 Best Retained Value Awards program.
These awards are given to vehicles after four years of study, in which CBB claims their analysts scour “hundreds of thousands of sales transactions and other data points from live auctions, online auctions, dealership and other proprietary sources.” Prizes get awarded to vehicles that maintain the highest percentage value when compared against their original Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price (MSRP).
Both the CBB and ALG awards put Land Rover in a very good light when it comes to long-term retained value, making the brand an intelligent choice as well as an aspirational one.
