Which 2015 vehicles are likely to have the best resale value? Here are the top picks.

Resale value is a big factor when choosing a vehicle. Cars and trucks that do relatively well at trade-in time can reward their owners with hundreds of extra dollars vs. ones that do poorly. So, which are the best picks for buyers today?

According to Kelley Blue Book, Lexus and Subaru are the overall resale champions among auto makers, in the luxury and mainstream categories, respectively. But they are by no means the best choices for every buyer.

In terms of vehicle types, trucks and SUVs tend to do better on resale value than cars do. This trend seems to have gained some strength in recent months, as gas prices have fallen.

But let’s look at the top picks by category:

Subcompact Car: Honda Fit

Plug-in Vehicle: Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid

Compact SUV/Crossover: Jeep Wrangler

Sporty Compact Car: Subaru WRX

Mid-Size SUV/Crossover: Jeep Wrangler Unlimited

Keep in mind that the difference in resale value between #1 and #2 usually isn’t that great. Few automakers are building lemons these days, and you must weigh the purchase deal you are offered against anticipated resale value. But it certainly doesn’t hurt to choose the resale value champ in whichever vehicle category you are shopping in.
