5. Lexus IS

Lexus consistently wins quality awards, customer surveys, and data analysis studies. Over the last few years, the brand has also dominated resale value awards. The Lexus IS offers excellent performance, unsurpassed quality, style, high-end features, and a reputation for owner satisfaction.

For the third year in a row, the IS was given the Best Resale Award by Kiplinger’s in 2015.
The Lexus IS retains 63% of its value after 3 years and 45% after five years. While this may not seem very impressive, it’s far ahead of other luxury brands, beating out the BMW 3-Series for resale value. The Lexus IS is also competing in the already crowded market of entry-level luxury sedans which makes its win that much more impressive.
