CarGurus has recently announced this year’s Best Used Car Awards winners, which have been recognized as the best recent-year used models across sixteen body style categories based on CarGurus' projected 12-year value retention, expert reviews, driver satisfaction, model popularity, and availability. The model with the highest overall score was declared as the winner for each category.

“CarGurus knows that research is the bedrock of a great car-buying experience and we hope that our third annual Best Used Car Awards help today's car shoppers in that process,” said Matt Smith, senior editor at CarGurus. “These award-winning vehicles are popular, plentiful, well-reviewed and — based on our projections — should retain their value for years to come. For people shopping for a great used car, these vehicles are certainly worth considering.”
