Vincentric is an automotive data firm which provides knowledge and insight about the automotive industry to help those on the market for a car. One of the firm's initiatives to help car buyers is the annual "Best Value Awards" which identifies the vehicles that will cost you the least amount over a predetermined period of time. The award winners are those that are expected to cost you the least amount of money over the period of ownership which is determined based on various factors. Depreciation, insurance, maintenance and repairs, fuel, finance, taxes and fees are among the factors that are considered to determine a car's cost of ownership.
The "Best Value Awards" recognize three brands as overall winners and one car in various categories as a winner. Toyota dominated the awards picking up one of the exclusive brand awards and nine category awards. Toyota won more awards than any other brand in the passenger vehicle category with the Prius, Camry Hybrid and Avalon occupying three of the spots. Toyota's six other category winners included the Venza, Highlander Hybrid, FJ Cruiser, 4Runner, Land Cruiser and Tacoma. The automaker's praise has been attributed to the low depreciation rate of Toyota vehicles at your Oak Park Toyota dealership which results in higher resale values and less out of pocket costs for owners.
The Prius's award at this year's awards represents the sixth time the car has been recognized in the seven years that the awards have been conducted. In addition to low depreciation rate and low maintenance costs, the Prius has continued to appear at the awards because of its excellent fuel efficiency. Chicago residents and other city dwellers have praised the Prius's fuel economy ratings of 51 mpg in the city and 48 mpg on the highway which represent the most fuel efficient hybrid available. With gas prices on the rise, there is no better car for Oak Park Toyota Prius drivers to endure such costs.
Another award winner available at your Oak Park Toyota Prius dealer is the Tacoma, which is the only car that has ever won each of the seven years the awards have been conducted. There is a reason why the Tacoma has more "Best Value Awards" than any other car. The compact pickup has the lowest depreciation rate, the lowest repair and maintenance costs and the best fuel economy ratings out of any other vehicle in its class. With such a long list of accolades, it's safe to say the Tacoma has secured a spot on the list for years to come.
Other Toyota vehicles that have made multiple appearances as "Best Value Award" winners include the 4Runner, Avalon, Land Cruiser and Venza. Toyota won the most awards at this year's awards and ended up with more than double the amount of winners than the runner-up. The automaker's 10 awards occupied nearly one fourth of the total number of awards given out which is no easy feat. Whether Chicago residents are on the market for a sedan, SUV, Hatchback or pickup, they can be assured of a good value at their Oak Park Toyota dealership.
