What does it mean for new car shoppers?

The Vincentric Best Fleet Value In America 2021 awards measure cost-of-ownership using eight different cost factors: depreciation, fees & taxes, financing, fuel, insurance, maintenance, opportunity cost, and repairs. Vincentric evaluated each vehicle in all 50 states plus Washington D.C. using 28 different ownership/mileage scenarios. Winners were identified by determining which vehicles had the lowest fleet lifecycle cost in the most scenarios for its segment.

The 2021 Subaru Outback wins the Vincentric Best Fleet Value in America award in the Midsize SUV/Crossover segment for the fourth time. Vincentric says Outback wins due to its lowest fuel, insurance, and operating costs in its class. "The Outback outperformed the competition in all 28 measured lifecycle cost scenarios for 2021."

The 2021 Subaru Crosstrek scores the best in the competitive Compact SUV/Crossover category. Vincentric says," Returning to the top of the podium for the fourth consecutive year; the Subaru Crosstrek has the lowest insurance cost in its class helped the Crosstrek reclaim victory."

The 2021 Subaru Legacy wins the award for the second year in a row in the midsize sedan segment. Vincentric says, "A key factor in the Legacy's 2021 victory was the lowest insurance cost in its class, which helped it win 23 out of 28 measured lifecycle cost scenarios."
