Of the 10 cars on the list, two - Dodge and Mitsubishi - fall above the average depreciation for all cars makes at 51.4% and 51.8%. However, these are still higher than the automakers that depreciate the most, including Buick at an average of 60.1% and Maserati at an average of 66.4%.
Dodge and Mitsubishi were included on the list because they are still among the top 10 lowest-depreciating brands in the overall rankings when compared to other automakers, according to Julia Blackley, the author of the study.
