Five Honda Models Earn 2019 KBB Best Resale Value Awards
Five Honda models were featured in the 2019 Kelley Blue Book Resale Value Awards, giving the automaker a win in every vehicle category it produces.
Every year, KBB recognizes the vehicles that best retain their value over the first five years of ownership, a strong indicator of their overall ability to maintain value.
The 2019 Honda HR-V was named the best subcompact SUV/crossover with 58.2% value retained after 36 months and 41% value retained after 60 months. “[It] may be the brand’s smallest SUV, but it’s a giant among rivals,” KBB said.
The 2019 Honda Odyssey was named the best minivan with 55.5% value retained after 36 months and 40.2% value retained after 60 months.

It’s something of common knowledge that Honda vehicles hold their value well, though it’s always nice reputation backed up by statistics. If there’s a vehicle segment you’re interested in, and resale value matters to you, odds are there’s a Honda that fits what you’re looking for.
