Honda vehicles are a favorite of many. For 2017 through 2020, J.D. Power named Honda as its Performance Award Winner. This award is given to manufacturers with the highest owner ratings for performance and design after the first 90 days of ownership.
Do Honda vehicles hold their value?
For the most part, Honda does a fair job of holding values for each model. The average depreciation across Honda’s lineup is about 30 percent.
If you don’t know what type of vehicle you want and are open to a sedan, crossover, SUV, pickup, or even a hybrid, you can locate the model of your choice with the lowest depreciation and highest value.
