(NASDAQ: TRUE) today announced the winners of the 2020 Pre-Owned Value Awards (POVA), ranking Toyota and Lexus as the top Mainstream Brand and Premium Brand across the board.“Toyota and Lexus were early champions of the Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) marketplace, which combined with their reputation for durability and quality, lands them the 2020 Brand Awards for Pre-Owned Value,” said Eric Lyman, Chief Industry Analyst, ALG.The 2020 POVAs are awarded to vehicles with the lowest forecasted depreciation from two years of age to five years of age, during the period 2019-2022. Vehicle segmentation is based on ALG’s proprietary automotive segmentation, which takes into account information such as vehicle size, transaction price, and cross-shop information. The awards will be presented to automakers on November 11 at Used Car Week 2019 in Las Vegas, Nevada.“CPO vehicles are a key contributor to franchise dealer profitability and have become an indispensable tool for automakers to manage off-lease volume,” continued Lyman. “As CPO vehicles have continued to maintain a rise in popularity and volume, ALG’s Pre-Owned Value Awards help consumers zero in on desirable late model used vehicles that hold their value the most over the next three years.”Toyota is the Mainstream Brand leader with six segment awards, including the Sequoia, Camry, Tacoma, Highlander, Sienna and 4Runner. This is Toyota’s third time winning in POVA’s overall Mainstream Brand category.Mercedes leads as the front-runner in the Premium category with four awards in the Electric, Midsize Commercial, Premium Compact and Premium Executive categories.For the first time, ALG introduced the Premium Subcompact Utility category to this year’s awards. Audi took top honors in the new category with the Audi Q3.The Nissan GT-R continued its dominance in the Premium Performance category winning the POVA for the fourth year in a row.Award winners are determined through careful analysis of used vehicle performance, brand outlook and product competitiveness. 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.Below is the full list of 2020 POVA winners:About ALG
