When purchasing a new vehicle, it’s always important to not only consider your new car’s price tag, but also the amount of money it will take to keep your car in working order. That’s where the KBB.com 5-Year Cost-to-Own Awards come in. Each year, the prestigious car website determines the vehicles that have the lowest ownership costs in each of the industry’s segments—and it looks like two Fiat Chrysler vehicles have come out on top.
Both the 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and the 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan have made their way onto the list thanks to their impeccable style and unbeatable upkeep costs.
