•Dodge Charger - America's only four-door muscle car - wins ALG Residual Value Award in Full-size car segment for sixth consecutive year

•Jeep® Wrangler - the world's most capable vehicle - earns ALG Residual Value Award in Off-road Utility segment for third year in a row

November 18, 2019 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - Dodge Charger earned its sixth consecutive win while Jeep® Wrangler captured its third straight honor in the 2020 Residual Value Awards from ALG, the industry benchmark for residual values and depreciation data.

The Dodge Charger — America's only four-door muscle car — continued its six-year winning streak of maintaining the best residual value for full-size car buyers, according to ALG, while also expanding the Charger lineup for 2020 with the addition of the SRT Hellcat Widebody and Charger Scat Pack Widebody to its lineup.

'The Dodge Charger is somewhat of a rarity in the full-size segment with its sporty exterior, roomy interior and powerful engine at an affordable price point,' said Eric Lyman, Chief Industry Analyst at ALG, a subsidiary of TrueCar. 'The Charger upholds its pack leader standing by maintaining value for consumers and winning its sixth consecutive ALG Residual Value Award.'

The Jeep Wrangler, which recently added a new 3.0L EcoDiesel engine to its powertrain stable, took home its third consecutive ALG Residual Value Award in the Off-road Utility segment.

The ALG Residual Value Awards (RVA) recognize vehicles in 27 segments that are projected to hold the highest percentage of their Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) after a three-year period, an important consideration for car buyers when assessing the total cost of ownership for a particular vehicle. This year's recipients have shown strong value in their competitive segments and were chosen from all 2020 model-year vehicles on sale in the United States in the Premium and Mainstream segments.

For 2020, Dodge literally expands its high-performance Charger model lineup, adding a Widebody exterior to America's only four-door muscle car.
