Ford’s final winner was the T350 passenger van, which triumphed in the Full-Size 1-Ton Passenger Van segment for the fourth time.
All four of Toyota’s winning models were hybrid vehicles, showing the brand’s strength in alternative fuel options. Toyota won three out of four Passenger Car segments thanks to best-in class performances by the Corolla Hybrid LE for Compact, the Prius LE for Compact Hatchback, and the Camry Hybrid LE for Mid-Size. These models were also all repeat winners in their class. Rounding out Toyota’s winning lineup was the Sienna LE with an impressive tenth victory in the Minivan segment.

“The Vincentric Best Fleet Value in America Awards are now in their twentieth year of providing valuable insight and guidance to the fleet industry,” said David Wurster, Vincentric President. “With nearly every segment this year being won by a returning winner, our awards can help fleet professionals identify vehicles that have a history of providing great value year after year.”
To determine the 2025 Vincentric Best Fleet Value in America™ Awards, Vincentric performed a cost of ownership analysis measuring over 3,000 vehicle configurations based on typical fleet use.
Using eight different cost factors – depreciation, fees & taxes, financing, fuel, insurance, maintenance, opportunity cost, and repairs – each vehicle was evaluated in all 50 states plus D.C. using 28 different lifecycle scenarios. Winners were identified by determining which vehicles had the lowest fleet lifecycle cost in the most scenarios within its segment.
