The 2017 model-year brand and category winners of the sixth annual 5-Year Cost to Own Awards, recognizing new vehicles with the lowest projected ownership costs, were announced recently by Kelley Blue Book, www.kbb.com, the vehicle valuation and information source trusted and relied upon by both consumers and the automotive industry. These awards are based on Kelley Blue Book’s 5-Year Cost to Own data for new cars for the initial five-year ownership period.
While
depreciation (or loss of value) and fuel costs may be the greatest
expense incurred in owning a vehicle, there are other factors that can
have a significant impact on a consumer’s budget.
Available on Kelley Blue Book’s KBB.com for new models, 5-Year Cost to
Own information takes into consideration depreciation, expected fuel
costs, finance and insurance fees, maintenance and repair costs, and
state fees.
