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

The 5-Year Cost to Own Awards are designed to give buyers a clearer picture of what a vehicle will really cost them over time. Many people focus only on the sticker price, but KBB evaluates factors such as fuel efficiency, financing options, insurance rates, and especially depreciation. This comprehensive approach helps consumers make more informed decisions when purchasing a new or used car.
