3. TOYOTA 4RUNNER (TIE) DEPRECIATION: 25.2 percent Average price after three years: $31,959 Broader view: Despite a top reliability score and off-road abilities, _Consumer Reports_ places


the 2020 4Runner only mid pack in overall ratings, sandwiched between Dodge Durango and Volkswagen Atlas. The publication ranks it 21st among 30 midsize SUVs — 23rd in 2019 — citing its


rough-sounding engine, “clumsy” handling, “bobbing and bouncing ride,” compromised driving position because of a high step-in height and low ceiling. Safety: NHTSA gives it a four-star


crash-test rating overall out of a maximum of five. 2020 model price: Starting at $36,020, according to Toyota 5. HONDA FIT DEPRECIATION: 25.4 percent Average price after three years: 


$14,524 Broader view: First among 14 subcompacts, _Consumer Reports_ says, noting good road test and reliability scores and citing Fit's multi-configurable seating that gives the small


hatchback “versatility similar to that of a small SUV.” But the publication says the ride is stiff, the seats are uncomfortable, and the passenger compartment is loud enough that the car is


“unfit for long drives." Echoing its comments about other Hondas, the magazine says Fit's touch screen radio is “a constant frustration.” Honda Fit is new this year to iSeeCars’


list of lowest-depreciating cars. Safety: NHTSA gives the little car its highest five-star overall crash-safety rating. 2020 model price: Starting at $16,190, according to Honda Jim Frenak


6. JEEP WRANGLER, TWO-DOOR DEPRECIATION: 27.3 percent Average price after three years: $25,768 Broader view: The Wrangler's redesign in 2018 was a big improvement, _Consumer Reports_ 


says. And even before that, the iconic Jeep model had strong owner loyalty. That is true “despite lagging in reliability, fuel economy, comfort, and interior fit and finish,” which _Consumer


Reports_ says bedevils the Jeep brand generally. Wrangler is way down at the bottom among midsize SUVs that it has tested. Safety: NHTSA hasn't rated the model on crash-test


performance but says it plans to test a 2020 model. 2020 model price: Starting at $28,295, according to Jeep 7. CHEVROLET COLORADO DEPRECIATION: 27.4 percent Average price after three years:


 $25,370 Broader view: Responsive handling, and it features “the latest electronics including the easy-to-use infotainment system,” _Consumer Reports_ says. The Colorado is “better-equipped


than … Nissan and Toyota competitors.” Its predicted reliability is lousy, scoring only 1 on a five-point scale. Overall, Colorado is better than only one other small pickup, the publication


says. Safety: Overall crash-test rating is four stars of a possible five, NHTSA says. 2020 model price: Starting at $21,300, according to Chevrolet 8. JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED, FOUR-DOOR


DEPRECIATION: 27.6 percent Average price after three years: $29,843 Broader view: This model is the longer-wheelbase, four-door version of the standard Wrangler. _Consumer Reports_ groups it


with the two-door model in its ratings. But to add a fresh voice, Kelley Blue Book notes in an extended review of the Unlimited that Jeep's Uconnect infotainment system is “intuitive”


and lets you position push-button controls on the screen where you wish, so the most used are handiest. The vehicle valuation and research company also applauds the array of safety features


and likes the ability to change the volume of various alert bongs and chimes to tone down what you might consider too-strident warnings. Safety: NHTSA gives the 2019 and 2020 Jeep Wrangler


Unlimited four-door models a four-star front-crash rating out of a possible five and three stars for rollover protection. NHTSA says Wrangler's removable doors exempt it from side-crash


tests, eliminating it from getting an overall crash-test rating. 2020 model price: Starting at $33,290, according to Jeep 9. HONDA HR-V (TIE) DEPRECIATION: 28.2 percent Average price after


three years: $18,110 Broader view: The Honda HR-V is based on the Honda Fit subcompact, so enjoys similar multi-configurable seating that can fold to create generous cargo space. But its


appeal is eroded because the HR-V is loud, its ride is stiff, the front seats aren't very supportive and it feels underpowered, according to _Consumer Reports_. Reliability is predicted


at four on a five-point scale, so that shouldn't be an issue. The Honda HR-V, first manufactured for the 2016 model year, is the second vehicle new to iSeeCars’ top 10 list this year.


Safety: NHTSA gives it five stars, the maximum overall crash-test rating. 2020 model price: Starting at $22,820, according to Honda 9. TOYOTA TUNDRA (TIE) DEPRECIATION: 28.2 percent Average


price after three years: $32,300 Broader view: It's among only a few Toyota models that “come up short,” thus likening it to the Tacoma and 4Runner, _Consumer Reports_ says. Tundra was


updated for the 2019 model year, bringing better controls. But “Tundra still feels outclassed by newer and more refined competitors,” the publication says. Those newer competitors don't


necessarily outscore the Tundra. On _Consumer Reports’ _scorecard, it lands in the second spot behind the Ram 1500 among full-size pickups. High points are predicted reliability and


predicted owner satisfaction, both at four of a possible five. Drawbacks: jittery ride and a long reach to some controls. Safety: NHTSA gives it an overall crash-test rating of four stars


out of a possible five. 2020 model price: Starting at $33,425, according to Toyota
