SEOUL, Nov. 20 (Korea Bizwire) – Hyundai and Kia vehicles have been recognized for maintaining excellent value as used cars in the United States, earning high marks for residual value.
The automakers announced on November 20 that the Hyundai Kona Electric and Kia Telluride were named winners in J.D. Power’s 2025 U.S. ALG Residual Value Awards.
The J.D.

This year’s evaluation covered 311 models.
