Seven Stellantis Models Win CPO Awards from Vincentric
The holidays are about to start ramping up, and with them, good news for the auto industry. Aside from great deals, there’s also many reviews wrapping up and organizations concluding competitions for awards. We always like to see some of our favorite brands grabbing up an award or two, and this month, a trustworthy organization by automakers has recently wrapped up its own list of award-worthy automobiles in the market today. Straight from Vincentric, the Chrysler Voyager and Jeep® Gladiator scored top honors during the 10th annual Vincentric Best CPO Value in America Awards.
“The Jeep Gladiator and the Chrysler Voyager both delivered best-in-class value in the 2023 Vincentric Best CPO Value in America Awards…The Voyager was aided by having the lowest operating costs in its class, and both models rose to the top with total ownership costs that were significantly lower than expected for their market segment.” – David Wurster, Vincentric president
Vincentric has been around for some time, always naming the best vehicles with certified pre-owned value (CPO) or vehicles that keep their value for years to come. This is a big one for consumers who may wish to purchase a new vehicle but not keep it for more than five years – we’ve seen ten-year old cars, and depending on the automaker, some may be better off in a junkyard. That’s why Vincentric has lists of awards for vehicles that can still sell for a nice payoff after years of use. Known for its analysis and careful collection of data, knowledge, and insight into the auto market, Vincentric monitors and reviews new vehicles every year and provides consumers with all the data they may need to make an informed decision when buying a new car.
For the Best CPO Value in America Awards, Vincentric analyzes the total cost of ownership and current market price of all CPO vehicles for applicable model years over eight different cost factors. These include depreciation, fees & taxes, financing, fuel, insurance, maintenance, opportunity cost, and repairs. The vehicles that have lower less ownership costs given their market segment and price are ranked and identified as the model with the best CPO value per segment. This year, the Chrysler Voyager and Jeep Gladiator took home top honors, but Vincentric also recognized five more Stellantis models that had the lowest total cost of ownership in their class.
Although having been canceled, the Dodge Grand Caravan made an appearance for the minivan category as the best CPO. Remember, these vehicles are previously used, so once canceled models can still make it to the list. That rings just as true for the Dodge Journey, winning an award for the SUV class. Following its once parent-brand, Ram Truck also took home awards with the Ram ProMaster and Ram ProMaster City. Known as cargo vans, Ram makes more than powerful pickup trucks, and the ProMaster series has been a long-standing staple for commercial and small businesses focused on delivery and transportation of goods and services.
As the year comes to a close, be on the lookout for more awards. 2022 was a busy year for everyone, and after the Dare Forward 2030 campaign, we’re bound to see a lot more in the years to come.
