“The Vincentric Best Value in America Awards have been providing guidance to American consumers for twenty years,” said Vincentric President, David Wurster. “Our awards are a trusted, unbiased source of insight to buyers who are in the market for a new vehicle. Choosing a Best Value in America Award-winning model helps give consumers confidence that they are making an informed decision, and that their new vehicle will deliver best-in-class value for their money.”
Vincentric measures cost of ownership using eight different cost factors: depreciation, fees & taxes, financing, fuel, insurance, maintenance, opportunity cost, and repairs. Using a statistical model, Vincentric identified the Best Value in America winners by measuring which vehicles had lower than expected ownership costs given their market segment and price. Nearly 2,000 vehicle configurations were evaluated in all 50 states plus D.C. using a range of annual mileage intervals and insurance profiles.
