Kelley Blue Book has announced its "5-Year Cost to Own Awards," and Toyota products have taken the top spot in four categories, with Lexus securing the title of the best overall brand. These awards are designed to help consumers identify which vehicles offer the most value over time, considering not just the initial purchase price but also long-term expenses.

KBB Gives 4 Toyota Products Cost to Own Awards, Lexus Top Brand

KBB says the Lexus IS line of cars is the top Luxury car to buy based on the total cost of ownership.

The awards evaluate the true long-term cost of owning a vehicle by taking into account factors like fuel efficiency, financing, insurance, and especially depreciation. Many buyers focus only on the upfront cost, but KBB helps them understand the full picture. For more details on how these costs add up, visit KBB.com.

Best Compact Car – Toyota Corolla

KBB highlights: “The Toyota Corolla stands out for its great long-term value. It offers an attractive price, low maintenance and repair costs, and strong resale value. The 2014 model was completely redesigned, making it more spacious and stylish than ever before—and now it’s a 5-Year Cost to Own winner.”

Best High-End Luxury Car – 2014 Lexus LS

KBB notes: “As the flagship sedan of Lexus, the 2014 LS continues to impress. It has earned the 5-Year Cost to Own Award for high-end luxury cars, reinforcing its reputation as a top choice in the segment.”

KBB comments: “Lexus continues to dominate in the hybrid SUV category. The RX 450h not only won Best Resale Value but also took home the 5-Year Cost to Own award, proving once again why it’s a top performer in the luxury market.”

Best Mid-Size Pickup Truck – 2014 Toyota Tacoma
