To be considered for Kelley Blue Book's highest accolade, Best New Model, the vehicle must be an all-new or redesigned model and offer a strong value proposition to consumers based on pricing, innovation, and available standard technology and safety features.Ģ022 Kelley Blue Book Best Buy Award Winners Kelley Blue Book's annual Best Buy Awards are determined based on a year-long regimen of expert vehicle evaluation and testing of nearly every new vehicle available in the United States, along with analysis of a broad array of vehicle-related data, including vehicle pricing, 5-Year Cost to Own data – which includes depreciation, insurance, maintenance, financing, fuel, fees and taxes for new cars – along with consumer reviews and ratings and vehicle sales information. As The Trusted Resource®, our goal is to help consumers understand where they should focus their new-car shopping efforts, as it's more important now than ever before." Fortunately for consumers, auto manufacturers are making plenty of great new models, even if it does take some patience to wait for the inventory to come in. We understand it can be overwhelming to shop for a new car when there are hundreds of models available and new nameplates offered each year, let alone in challenging times for the industry and car shoppers alike.
