The Honda Jazz flies in the face of logic when it comes to depreciation, a spokesman for the car's manufacturer has said.
Lee Wheeler, National Leasing Manager for Honda UK, claimed the vehicle has "some of the best residual values in the industry", with CAP Monitor figures putting four versions of the new Jazz above 40 per cent, based on three years and 60,000 miles.
"Every now and then a car comes along that challenges the long established rules of depreciation. In this regard the Jazz has confounded many," Mr Wheeler said.
The new Jazz goes on sale in manual form in October 2008, with an i-SHIFT version set to come out in January 2009.
A new Jazz 1.2-litre S starts from £9,990, with the Jazz 1.4-litre EX with i-SHIFT the most expensive model in the range at £13,590.
Honda revealed at the start of September that the pricing was done specifically to appeal to those thinking of downsizing their cars.
