The 2009 Subaru Tribeca holds enough of its value after 36 months to beat the Ford Edge and Hyundai Santa Fe, but not enough to outdo the Toyota Highlander or Honda Pilot; all residual values are estimated by Automotive Lease Guide. For a full breakdown of Tribeca trim levels see here. Below are the trim levels that rank highest for 2009 models for each of those cars. Not all 2010 residual value estimates are available at the time of publishing.
If you’re looking for trim levels with the best resale value there are a few features you want to stay away from, like a built-in navigation system or sports package. Other features can help residual value, like the third-row seats or power features (such as power windows, locks and seats).
Subaru as an automaker ranks high in ALG’s 2009 Residual Value Awards, trailing only Honda as the highest scoring non-luxury automaker.
