BINGHAM FARMS, MICHIGAN, USA, June 18, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The 8th annual Vincentric Best Value in Canada™ Awards were announced today with Toyota Canada Inc. earning a total of 11 awards, including the Best Value SUV, Crossover, & Van brand award for Toyota and the Best Value Luxury SUV & Crossover brand award for Lexus.

Other brand level winners were Ford, which took home the Truck brand award for the fourth consecutive year by sweeping all three full-size pickup awards, and Mazda, which earned top honours in the Passenger Car category.
Other brands with multiple award-winning vehicles were Honda, earning three awards led by its popular seven-time winner the CR-V, and Subaru which took home two awards. Other brands with models winning Vincentric Best Value in Canada awards were Alfa Romeo, Chevrolet, Hyundai, Kia, Lincoln, Mitsubishi and Volvo.
“Vincentric’s model-level awards offer guidance to consumers by illustrating the importance of including vehicle ownership costs in the decision-making process,” said Vincentric President, David Wurster. “For example, a vehicle with a higher purchase price may be more affordable over the entire ownership period than one with a lower purchase price.”
Using a statistical model and the eight ownership cost factors, Vincentric identified the Best Value in Canada winners by measuring which vehicles had a lower than expected ownership cost given their market segment and price. Ownership costs measured included depreciation, fees & taxes, financing, fuel, insurance, maintenance, opportunity cost and repairs. Each vehicle was evaluated in all ten provinces plus the Northwest Territories using a range of annual kilometer intervals and insurance profiles.
