In this week’s Black Book Market Insights report, data from the month of February show that most car segments retention has generally continued to perform weaker than that of trucks. Interestingly enough, this pattern has not been entirely consistent across the board, with a few truck segments showing great weakness and some cars showing strength.

“With high supply and low demand of small cars, we are not seeing the typical seasonality lift in values. On the other hand, crossover/SUV segments continue to get more interest from the buyers,” said Anil Goyal, Vice President of Automotive Valuation and Analytics.
