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.
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.
