Mainstream models will be covered in December’s edition of Perspective. We’ve provided retention figures for the most popular style level as determined by its share of new vehicle sales. While retention for other styles (e.g., other trim levels or body and engine types) within a model lineup may be better or worse than ones provided, differences are generally small and do little to change the model’s overall standing relative to either its competitive segment or to the outgoing model. The retention calculation is a function of a three month average (Sept. – Nov. 2014) of NADA’s average trade-in value divided by a vehicle’s typically-equipped Manufacturer Suggest Retail Price (MSRP). Typically-equipped MSRP data was sourced from ALG and NADA Used Car Guide. Note that a vehicle’s rate of depreciation, and ultimately retention, is in part a product of the level of discounting at the time of new. As such, MSRPs do not include any incentives or rebates available at the time of purchase. NADA Used Car Guide | 8400 Westpark Drive | McLean, VA 22102 | 800.544.6232 | nada.com/b2b 2 © 2014 NADA Used Car Guide Perspective | November 2014 Background information describing each model was provided by NADAguides.com, whose broad range of data, products and services, informational articles, tips and advice and video buying guides help make the vehicle purchasing process easier for consumers. ACURA MDX Updated for 2014, the Acura MDX is a mid-size luxury SUV with seating for seven. New exterior sheet metal offers sensuous curves with a revised, refined version of Acura's trademark grille. LED "jewel eye" headlights occupy the front corners, while LED taillights make their way onto the new machine as well. The 2014 MDX is about 2 inches longer than its predecessor, with a longer wheelbase as well. The MDX is narrower as well and the overall impact is of a slimmer, trimmer MDX. Underneath is a new light truck chassis, devised exclusively for the MDX, while under hood the previous 300 horsepower 3.7L V6 is replaced by a less powerful 290 horsepower 3.5L V6. While power output fell, fuel economy improved considerably, rising from 2013’s city and highway figures of 16 and 21 mpg, respectively, to 18 and 27 mpg for the 2014 model. Retention Report Card True to form, used value retention for the redesigned 2014 Acura MDX has been very good. One-year retention for the 2014 MDX Technology 4WD reached 79.8 percent, up a substantial 5.9 percent from the outgoing model’s 73.9 percent figure. Relative to its peers, the 2014 MDX’s one-year retention exceeded the Luxury Mid-size Utility segment average of 72 percent by nearly 8 percent. Make/Model/Style 2014 Acura MDX Technology 4WD 3.5L V6 2013 Acura MDX Technology 4WD 3.7L V6 Difference Typically-Equipped Average Trade-In MSRP Value $49,460 $39,483 $47,850 $35,367 $1,610 $4,117 2014 Luxury Mid-Size Utility Average 1-Year Retention (%) 79.8% 73.9% 5.9 ppts 72.0% ACURA RLX The Acura RLX is brand new for 2014. As Acura's flagship model, the V6-powered, frontwheel-drive luxury sedan replaces the RL, which went away in 2012. The RLX is equipped with an abundance of technologies, including new signature Jewel Eye LED headlights that are brighter and more efficient, and the P-AWS (Precision All-Wheel Steer) system that improves handling through four-wheel steering. A new direct-injection 3.5L V6 NADA Used Car Guide | 8400 Westpark Drive | McLean, VA 22102 | 800.544.6232 | nada.com/b2b 3 © 2014 NADA Used Car Guide Perspective | November 2014 making 310 horsepower and 272 pound-feet of torque is under hood and is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive fuel economy figures are highly competitive at 20 mpg city and 31 mpg highway, good for a combined figure of 24 mpg. Retention Report Card Despite its noteworthy qualities, used value retention for the 2014 Acura RLX has been subpar. One-year retention for the 2014 RLX Technology stands at 61.3 percent, well below the Luxury Mid-size car segment average of 66.6 percent. Make/Model/Style 2014 Acura RLX Technology 3.5L V6 Typically-Equipped Average Trade-In MSRP Value $55,345 $33,917 2014 Luxury Mid-Size Car Average 1-Year Retention (%) 61.3% 66.6% BMW 4 Series All new for 2014, the BMW 4 Series takes the place of the 3 Series coupe and is available in a standard 428i or optional 435i trim levels. Both trims come with rear-wheel drive but can be equipped with BMW's capable xDrive all-wheel-drive system. The base trim is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine (240 horsepower/255 pound-feet of torque) while the optional trim is powered by a 3.0-liter turbocharged I-6 engine (300 horsepower/300 pound-feet of torque). Both engines can be paired to a 6-speed manual or 8-speed automatic transmission, for an Environmental Protection Agency estimated range of 22 mpg city to 35 mpg highway, depending on engine and transmission selection. Retention Report Card Retention for the 2014 BMW 4 series has been average. One-year retention for the 2014 BMW 4 Series Coupe 428i stands at 72.3 percent, slightly above the Upper Sport car segment average of 71.8 percent. Make/Model/Style 2014 BMW 4 Series Coupe 428i 2.0L I4 Turbo Typically-Equipped Average Trade-In MSRP Value $46,850 $33,867 2014 Upper Sport Car Average 1-Year Retention (%) 72.3% 71.8% NADA Used Car Guide | 8400 Westpark Drive | McLean, VA 22102 | 800.544.6232 | nada.com/b2b 4 © 2014 NADA Used Car Guide Perspective | November 2014 BMW X5 The BMW X5 was given a host of improvements for 2014. The biggest change was to the exterior, where the car received quite a bit of new sheet metal, updating its design while still being recognizably an X5. Numerous improvements include a lighter chassis and a more powerful V8 engine on the xDrive50i, now up to 445 horsepower. The X5 is available with three different engines; a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine (300 horsepower), a 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine (445 horsepower), and a new 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 diesel engine (255 horsepower). AWD can be paired to an 8-speed automatic with manual shift mode or an 8-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters. Fuel mileage falls within an EPA estimated range of 16 mpg city to 27 mpg highway. Retention Report Card The X5 has traditionally been a solid retention performer and the 2014 model appears set to keep the trend going. While the 2014 X5’s one-year retention of 80.8 percent is a modest 1.9 percentage points higher than the outgoing model’s 78.8 percent, it’s nearly 9 percentage points more than the Luxury Mid-size Utility segment average of 72 percent. Make/Model/Style 2014 BMW X5 35i AWD 3.0L I6 Turbo 2013 BMW X5 35i AWD 3.0L I6 Turbo Difference Typically-Equipped Average Trade-In MSRP Value $61,950 $50,042 $59,441 $46,867 $2,509 $3,175 2014 Luxury Mid-Size Utility Average 1-Year Retention (%) 80.8% 78.8% 1.9 ppts 72.0% Cadillac CTS The CTS has been given a complete redesign for 2014. The car is essentially all new from the ground up. The 2014 CTS is longer and lower than the car it replaces, giving it a sportier stance. Extensive use of lightweight materials has ensured weight remains in check ― Cadillac claims the CTS is the lightest vehicle in its class. The CTS sedan is available with two different engines; a standard 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder (272 horsepower) and an optional 3.6-liter V6 (321 horsepower). A 6-speed automatic NADA Used Car Guide | 8400 Westpark Drive | McLean, VA 22102 | 800.544.6232 | nada.com/b2b 5 © 2014 NADA Used Car Guide Perspective | November 2014 (optional 8-speed) transmission, mated to standard RWD (AWD optional), enables the CTS Sedan to achieve an EPA estimated 19 mpg city and 30 mpg highway. Retention Report Card Similar to the Acura RLX, retention for the 2014 Cadillac CTS is below average. At 60.9 percent, one-year retention for the CTS Luxury V6 is nearly 6 percent lower than the old design’s 66.7 percent, and is also well below the 66.6 percent average of the luxury midsize car segment. The CTS’ weak retention is due in part to the model’s higher MSRP, which jumped by more than $14,000 over the outgoing model. Make/Model/Style 2014 Cadillac CTS Luxury 3.6L V6 2013 Cadillac CTS Luxury 3.6L V6 Difference Typically-Equipped Average Trade-In MSRP Value $54,625 $33,242 $39,990 $26,683 $14,635 $6,559 2014 Luxury Mid-Size Car Average 1-Year Retention (%) 60.9% 66.7% -5.9 ppts 66.6% Cadillac ELR All new for 2014, the Cadillac ELR is a luxury sports coupe equipped with plug-in hybrid technology. The ELR is powered by a combination of a 1.4-liter combustion engine and electric drive unit producing 157 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. Front -wheel-drive, paired with a 1-speed automatic transmission, enables a total range of 300 miles. Charging can be done with 120 volt (12.5-18 hour charge time) or 240 volt outlets (5 hour charge time). Running strictly on gasoline, the ELR’s city and highway mpg figures are 31 and 35, respectively. Fuel economy rises to an 82 miles per gallon equivalent when operating on battery power. Retention Report Card An ambitious MSRP, falling gasoline prices and a segment loaded with better known models have all contributed to a low retained value for the ELR. One-year retention for the 2014 Cadillac ELR Luxury stands at 59.7 percent, which is roughly 11 percentage points below the Luxury Sport car segment average. It should be noted, the ELR’s retention is considerably better for consumers who elected to purchase, as the federal tax credit available on the model lowered the point of entry by $7,500. Make/Model/Style 2014 Cadillac ELR Luxury 1.4L I4 Electric/Hybrid Typically-Equipped Average Trade-In MSRP Value $79,685 $47,600 2014 Luxury Sport Car Average 1-Year Retention (%) 59.7% 70.3% NADA Used Car Guide | 8400 Westpark Drive | McLean, VA 22102 | 800.544.6232 | nada.com/b2b 6 © 2014 NADA Used Car Guide Perspective | November 2014 Infiniti Q50 New for 2014, the Infiniti Q50 is a sedan that boasts classic Infiniti luxury blended with a sporty flare. The Q50 is powered by a 3.7-liter V6 engine that produces 328 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque. A 7speed automatic transmission is paired to RWD (AWD is optional) to enable an EPA estimated 20 mpg city and 29 mpg highway. Retention Report Card Retention for the 2014 Infiniti Q50 is slightly above average. One-year retention for the Infiniti Q50 Premium V6 is 72.4 percent, more than 5 percent above the 67.0 percent Near Luxury car segment average. Make/Model/Style 2014 Infinit Q50 Premium 3.7L V6 Typically-Equipped Average Trade-In MSRP Value $42,305 $30,633 2014 Near Luxury Car Average 1-Year Retention (%) 72.4% 67.0% Jaguar F-Type Jaguar's new F-Type convertible is a bold exercise in building the perfect sports car. The Jaguar F-TYPE is a two-seat roadster available in Standard, S and V8 S trim levels. The standard F-TYPE is powered by a 3.0liter supercharged V6 (340 horsepower/332 poundfeet of torque) and the S trim is equipped with a tuned version of the same engine (380 horsepower /339 pound-feet of torque). For increased performance, Jaguar offers a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 engine that yields 495 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. Rear-wheel-drive is paired to an 8-speed QuickShift transmission for fuel mileage within an EPA estimated range of 16 mpg city to 28 mpg highway, depending on engine selection. Retention Report Card Retention for the 2014 Jaguar F-Type is slightly below average. One year retention for the F-Type Convertible Standard 3.0L V6 is 70.7 percent, just over 1 percent below the Upper Sport car segment average of 71.8 percent. It bears noting that retention for the sportier – and more expensive – F-Type S V6 and V8 style levels is moderately higher at 74.5 and 76.7 percent, respectively.

The IS 250 and 350 ride on an all-new, slightly longer chassis and is available in either rear- or all-wheel drive with their power plants remaining unchanged. The IS 250 soldiers on with its 204 horsepower 2.5L V6, while the IS 350 remains with its 306-hp 3.5L V6. The previous 6-speed automatic transmission carries over as well, though rear-wheel-drive IS 350s now come equipped with an 8-speed direct-shift automatic. The 6-speed manual transmission has been discontinued. Fuel mileage for the IS 250 falls within an EPA estimated 19 mpg city to 30 mpg highway, depending on drivetrain and transmission selection. Fuel economy for the RWD IS 350 ranges between 19 mpg city and 28 mpg highway. Retention Report Card Retention for the Lexus IS has historically been at or near the top of its class and the 2014 redesign has done nothing to change this long-running trend. One year retention for the 2014 Lexus IS 250 stands at 75.3 percent, essentially equal to the 2013 model’s one year retention of 75.6 percent. While the discrepancy with the outgoing model is tight, the premium over the Near Luxury car segment average is a considerable 8.3 percentage points. Make/Model/Style 2014 Lexus IS 250 2.5L V6 2013 Lexus IS 250 2.5L V6 Difference Typically-Equipped Average Trade-In MSRP Value $39,835 $30,008 $38,235 $28,900 $1,600 $1,108 2014 Near Luxury Car Average 1-Year Retention (%) 75.3% 75.6% -0.3 ppts 67.0% Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class All new for 2014, the Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class is a compact, entry-level luxury sedan available in standard and AMG trim levels. Significant to the brand, it is the first car Mercedes-Benz has ever sold in America with front-wheel drive as standard. The NADA Used Car Guide | 8400 Westpark Drive | McLean, VA 22102 | 800.544.6232 | nada.com/b2b 8 © 2014 NADA Used Car Guide Perspective | November 2014 standard CLA-Class is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that produces 208 horsepower, while AMG trims are powered by a 2.0liter turbocharged I-4 engine that produces 335 horsepower. Both engines are mated to 7-speed automatic transmissions, enabling the CLA to achieve fuel economy within an EPA estimated range of 23 mpg city to 38 mpg highway. Retention Report Card The CLA’s coupe-like silhouette, aggressive front-end and appealing price point have translated into impressive new sales and retention figures for Mercedes’ entry-level car. One-year retention for the 2014 CLA250 is an outstanding 81.4 percent, which is more than 14 percent higher than the Near-Luxury car segment average of 67 percent. Retention for the 2014 CLA is by far the highest in its class, besting the second place Lexus IS by more than 6 percent.
