Toyota, Lexus earn top awards in J.D. Power’s Residual Value Awards

Automotive manufacturers that are more balanced/disciplined and consistent in their strategy to bring their products to market have come out as leaders in J.D. Power’s 2025 Canada ALG Residual Value Awards.

The awards spotlight the vehicle models projected to hold the highest percentage of the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) after four years for mass market vehicles and after three years for premium vehicles, according to J.D. Power. Toyota (mass market) and its Lexus division (premium) earned top brand awards — again.

“Preeminent brands such as Toyota and Lexus have shown they can strategically make select updates or redesigns to their vehicles, while retaining elements that deliver strong residual value,” said Danny Battaglia, Managing Director of ALG Customer Success at J.D. Power, in a statement.

Battaglia added that the brand’s awareness and tactical approach to pricing trim levels and powertrains also “helps raise residual performance and provides long-term value for shoppers that are buying in a competitive market.”

In its update, J.D. Power said 16 different brands earned awards in 32 segments for model year 2025. The company evaluated 282 model lines by analyzing used-vehicle performance, brand outlook, and product competitiveness. An OEM must have model entries in at least four different segments to be eligible.
