20 Best Resale Value Small SUVs And Why Subaru Crosstrek Is Number One

Which new 2024 model-year subcompact SUVs have the best-retained value after five years? An updated report from iSeeCars, which ranks all the new models, says the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek is the number one pick for new model shoppers. 

iSeeCars determines the best resale value subcompact SUVs by analyzing over 3 million vehicles to calculate how much each subcompact SUV model depreciates after five years. 

I cover the best-retained value data every year, and it's not surprising that the Crosstrek is ranked number one overall. 

Here are the twenty subcompact SUVs ranked by resale value. The subcompact SUVs listed here are ranked starting with the best. 

1. Subaru Crosstrek
2. Toyota C-HR
3. Honda HR-V
4. Nissan Kicks
5. Mazda CX-3
6. Hyundai KONA
7. Jeep Renegade
8. Mazda CX-30
9. Hyundai VENUE
10. Hyundai KONA N
11. Dodge Hornet
12. Jeep Compass
13. Nissan Rogue Sport
14. FIAT 500X
15. MINI Countryman
16. Kia Seltos
17. Chevrolet Trailblazer
18. Mitsubishi Outlander Sport
19. Ford EcoSport
20. Chevrolet Trax

iSeeCars says the Subaru Crosstrek has the best resale value among subcompact SUVs. The Crosstrek retains 74.9 percent of its value after five years, with an average price of $23,627 for 5-year-old models. The Crosstrek's resale value puts it 8.2 percent above the average for subcompact SUVs, which is 66.7 percent.

The Toyota C-HR ranks #2 for best resale value for subcompact SUVs. The C-HR retains 74.6 percent of its value after five years, with an average price of $21,444 for 5-year-old models. The C-HR's resale value is 7.9 percent higher than the average for subcompact SUVs.

The Honda HR-V is the #3 ranked subcompact SUV with the best resale value. The HR-V's resale value is 73.2 percent after five years, with the average price for a 5-year-old HR-V being $21,828. Its resale value is 6.5 percent more than the average resale value for a subcompact SUV.

It's not the Subaru Crosstrek's first retained value award.

The J.D. Power 2024 Canada ALG Residual Value Awards are in, and they say the all-new 2024 Subaru Crosstrek is better than any other model in its segment. The next-generation Subaru Crosstrek took home the Subcompact Utility segment award.

I cover the awards annually, and it's not the first time the Crosstrek is the best pick for customers. The Subaru Crosstrek wins for the eighth time.

MY TAKE

The 2024 Subaru Crosstrek is a top choice for new SUV shoppers because, in addition to being fuel efficient, it comes with Subaru's excellent Symmetrical all-wheel-drive for winter-weather capability, 8.7 inches of ground clearance (and 9.3 inches on Wilderness trim), has X-Mode for severe weather performance and dual-function X-Mode on some trims for all-terrain capability.

The Crosstrek is designed for the most active customers who want to avoid sitting home on the weekends when the snow flies. The Subaru subcompact is the best pick for outdoor enthusiasts.
