The new study from the iSeeCars site analyzed more than 1.1 million vehicles sold between November 2022 and October 2023 to determine 5-year depreciation rates. Comparing this data historically, it found that depreciation was lower in all major segments than in 2019, and the average used car held its value 10.8 percent better than before the pandemic.
“Restricted production of new cars for model years 2020 to 2022 continues to drive up the value of used cars,” said iSeeCars executive analyst Karl Brauer. “While all used cars are holding their value better than before the pandemic, electric cars still lose about half their value after five years, much more than any other type of vehicle.
“Interestingly, hybrids are among the best cars that hold their value, suggesting that consumers appreciate their combination of high fuel efficiency and zero range anxiety.”
The best cars for retaining value include the Porsche 911, Porsche 718 Cayman, Toyota Tacoma, Jeep Wrangler, and Honda Civic. The cars that lose value the most are the Maserati Quattroporte, the BMW 7 Series and the Maserati Ghibli.
