Bringing the Confidence in Motion moniker's total to thirty-one since 2010, Subaru has taken home accolades from the analytics division of auto info and pricing guru TrueCar Inc. in its compact car, sports car, and in several SUV categories. That means our automaker has once more been awarded the title, according to ALG, of Top Mainstream Brand. So, which new Subaru cars and SUVs entered the winner's circle? and what does this mean for Subie lovers everywhere? Quite a few, and plenty to which to look forward.
In the way of context, ALG is an industry expert when it comes to crunching depreciation data numbers and projecting vehicle value retention. That means it knows its stuff regarding determining which vehicles and brands can be expected to retain a high value percentage after three years of new ownership. For the 2018 model year, Subaru ALG Residual Value Awards number a whopping five. The new Subaru Impreza and WRX took the categories of Best Compact Car and Best Sports Car respectively, while the new Subaru Forester, Crosstrek, and Outback headed into victory lane for Best Compact Utility Vehicle, Best Subcompact Utility Vehicle, and Best 2-Row Midsize Utility Vehicle respectively.
Our Bremerton, WA Subaru dealership can certainly see the rationale for the continuing honor. Subaru designs and manufactures its vehicles to performance, safety, and reliability standards at the forefront of the industry. What's more, that commitment's in the details. It's in those like the all-terrain versatility afforded by standard Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. It shows in the high efficiency and impeccable balance of the horizontally opposed flat-four SUBARU BOXER engine. Perhaps most of all, one can see dedication in well-regarded, time-tested, and trail-proven Subaru safety credentials, from available EyeSight driver-assist tech to STARLINK Safety and Security connected services support and more.
But there's no shortage of advanced convenience tech and creature comforts for the trip either, and it's in those minutiae that the value of a drive can be found most directly. Eager to see what the experts and we mean? Stop by Peninsula Subaru, and our friendly Subaru aficionados will be delighted to show you.
