2014 Subaru Outback retains value better than any other mid-size car

Subaru's sport utility wagon, the 2014 Outback takes home another award for retaining its value better than any other mid-size car. Subaru of Canada announced the new 2014 Outback featured prominently in the annual Canadian Black Book (CBB) Best Retained Value Awards. For the fifth year in a row, the Subaru Outback sport utility wagon has claimed the CBB Best Retained Value Award in the mid-sized car segment.

The annual Canadian Black Book (CBB) Best Retained Value Awards acknowledge vehicles that retain the highest percentage of their original MSRP after four years. Widely acknowledged as Canada's "go-to provider" of present and future vehicle values, CBB distributes its values in various formats to dealers, insurance companies and financial institutions as well as consumers on its website.

"Depreciation has always been the single greatest cost of vehicle ownership," said Shiro Ohta, president and CEO of Subaru Canada. "With 2014 marking the fifth consecutive year that the Subaru Outback has earned the Canadian Black Book Best Retained Value Award, it is clear that our commitment to the four pillars of the Subaru brand - safety, versatility, performance and durability - is why more customers than ever are choosing a Subaru."

The 2014 Outback isn’t the only Subaru car that was honored with an award. The sixth annual ALG awards are in and the 2014 Subaru BRZ holds its value better than any other sports car.
