With cost of ownership that was almost 8% lower than expected, the Toyota Avalon ended up in a familiar spot as a 5-time winner of Vincentric’s Best Value in America award. Keys to its victory included the combination of best in class fuel economy and the lowest depreciation rate in its segment, which held off a strong performance from the runner-up Ford Taurus.
