Kelley Blue Book’s 5-Year Cost to Own Awards are based on information developed using Kelley Blue Book®Residual Values to calculate depreciation costs.  Kelley Blue Book calculates total ownership costs for new vehicles by applying sophisticated valuation methodology along with critical financial data from third-party providers.  The awards exist to help shoppers make more informed new-car buying decisions by breaking down typical ownership cost details and naming the brands and models with the lowest projected five-year total.
