How the market score works
The Conquest score is a single 0–10 number that blends three real, measurable signals from our market data. It’s deterministic — same data in, same score out — and nobody can pay to move up. Every model in a category is scored against the others in that same category, so the comparison is apples-to-apples.
Efficiency per dollar
40%How far the car goes on a dollar — electric range for EVs, or fuel economy for gas and hybrids — measured against its price. A long-range EV that costs less rates higher than a thirstier, pricier one.
How it holds value
35%What share of its value the model keeps as it ages, read straight from our used-price curve. A model whose four-year-old price stays high depreciates slowly — money you don't lose.
Price vs. its segment
25%Where the price sits against the other models in the same class. Cheaper-for-the-class scores higher; a premium badge has to earn its premium back on the other two measures.
We only score the signals we actually have. If a model is too new to have a used-value history yet, its score is built from the remaining measures rather than guessing — and the missing piece fills in as the market data accrues.
