J.D. Power 2021 Canada ALG Residual Value Awards

Toyota Ranks Highest among Mainstream Brands; Lexus Ranks Highest among Premium Brands

TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–ALG, the industry benchmark of automotive residual value projections and a division of J.D. Power, today announced the winners of the J.D. Power 2021 Canada ALG Residual Value Awards, ranking Toyota (mainstream) and Lexus (premium) as the top brands in their respective segments.

The J.D. Power Canada ALG Residual Value Awards are the automotive leasing industry standard when it comes to recognizing the vehicles segments that are projected to hold the highest percentage of the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) after a four-year period for mainstream vehicles, and after a three-year period for premium vehicles. This is a vital consideration for car buyers when assessing the total cost of ownership for a particular vehicle whether the vehicle is financed, leased or purchased with cash. This year’s recipients have shown strong forecasted value in their competitive segments in the Canadian market for the mainstream and premium segments.

“Residual values are the backbone of the auto leasing business in Canada due to an estimated CAD$26 billion in outstanding lease portfolio risk,” said Michelle MacDonald, director of ALG industry solutions at J.D. Power. “Knowing which vehicles are predicted to hold their value and their respective rate of depreciation is paramount for manufacturers and consumers alike.”

For the 2021 award process, 272 model lines were evaluated through careful analysis by the ALG team of industry experts and ALG’s proprietary Canadian forecasting model. Eligibility for a brand award requires a manufacturer to have vehicle entries in at least four different segments. To account for differences across trim levels, model averages are weighted based on percentage share relative to the entire model line.

Numerous variables affect the actual residual value of a vehicle over a multi-year lease term. Examples include auction values; vehicle content; vehicle pricing; industry data; and macroeconomic factors. Since these factors contribute to a more accurate residual value forecast, vehicle shoppers are able to better understand the total cost of ownership.
