“The Vincentric Best Fleet Value in America Awards are now in their twentieth year of providing valuable insight and guidance to the fleet industry,” said David Wurster, Vincentric president. “With nearly every segment this year being won by a returning winner, our awards can help fleet professionals identify vehicles that have a history of providing great value year after year.”
Methodology and Cost Factors
To determine the 2025 Vincentric Best Fleet Value in America Awards, Vincentric performed a cost of ownership analysis measuring over 3,000 vehicle configurations based on typical fleet use.
Using eight different cost factors – depreciation, fees & taxes, financing, fuel, insurance, maintenance, opportunity cost, and repairs – each vehicle was evaluated in all 50 states plus D.C. using 28 different lifecycle scenarios. Winners were identified by determining which vehicles had the lowest fleet lifecycle cost in most scenarios within its segment.
