The Top 25 Cars That Hold Their Value Best – and the 25 Worst

Electric vehicle values continue to crash after purchase, while hybrids and trucks hold up well

By iSeeCars· March 25, 2025

Highlights:

  • Electric vehicles lose the most value after purchase, falling 58.8% in 5 years
  • Trucks and hybrids retain the most value, losing 40.4% and 40.7%, respectively
  • Sports cars and small SUVs like the Porsche 911 and 718 Cayman, Chevrolet Corvette, Toyota RAV4, and Honda CR-V dominate the top 25 rankings for cars that retain value
  • Electric vehicles and luxury models like the Jaguar I-PACE, BMW 7 Series, Tesla Model S, and Nissan LEAF make up 23 of the 25 cars that lose the most value
  • Every vehicle type is losing more value in 2025 than they did in 2023, but hybrids have remained the closest to the value retention peaks every segment experienced during the pandemic 

Used car prices have dropped since their peak during the pandemic, as reflected in higher 5-year depreciation rates across all vehicle types. This means new cars are losing more money after 5 years because both the new and used car supply is slowly returning to normal following the plant shutdowns during COVID.

But the rate of depreciation varies drastically between segments, with electric vehicles now losing 58.8% of their value after 5 years, and trucks and hybrids only losing about 40% of their new vehicle value. The industry average for all vehicles is 45.6%, reflecting more lost value than the 38.8% drop in 2023, but less than the 49.6% drop in 2019.

iSeeCars analyzed over 800,000 5-year-old used cars sold from March 2024 to February 2025 to determine 5-year depreciation rates.

EVs67.1%49.1%58.8%
SUVs51.6%41.2%48.9%
Trucks42.7%34.8%40.4%

“Depreciation remains the most expensive aspect of buying a new vehicle, and the variation between vehicle types and specific models is something consumers should consider when researching their next purchase,” said iSeeCars Executive Analyst Karl Brauer. “The difference between buying a hybrid versus an electric vehicle could be tens of thousands of dollars in lost value.”

 

Top 25 Vehicles with the Lowest 5-Year Depreciation

The Porsche 911 and 718 Cayman lose the least value after 5 years, followed by the Toyota Tacoma, Chevrolet Corvette, and Honda Civic. Looking at the top 25 cars there’s a recurring theme of sports/performance models and small SUVs, with a few trucks and sedans also making the list.

“Porsche’s performance coupes, the 911 and 718 Cayman, have consistently ranked at or near the top of our residual value rankings since before the pandemic,” said Brauer. “The number of sports cars on this year’s top 25 retained value list are only exceeded by small SUVs, a vehicle that commonly represents the best-selling model in an automaker’s line up.”

 

Top 25 Vehicles with the Highest 5-Year Depreciation

Premium models typically lose more value than mainstream models, as confirmed in this year’s list of new vehicles that lose the most value after 5 years. A high number of electric vehicles also make the list, with Jaguar’s I-PACE losing more value than any other vehicle, and the Tesla Model S, Nissan LEAF, and Tesla Model X among the vehicles with the largest rate of depreciation.

“Both the percentage and dollar value drop of luxury vehicles need to be considered for new car buyers,” said Brauer. “While a premium badge and the increased performance or luxury features that come with it are often sought out by new car buyers, the used car market doesn’t prioritize those traits to the same degree, thus the consistently higher depreciation for luxury models.” 

 

Electric Vehicles Ranked by Depreciation

Only two electric vehicles, the Tesla Model 3 and Hyundai Kona Electric, are above the 58% average for EV depreciation. Electric vehicles were still pretty uncommon 5 years ago, but within this group the Jaguar I-PACE ranks the worst by losing more than 72% of its value.

“Even Tesla’s Model 3, with the lowest rate of depreciation among electric vehicles, is over 10% higher than the industry average, and it only gets worse from there for EVs,” said Brauer.

 

Hybrid Vehicles Ranked by Depreciation

Hybrid vehicles are among the best segments for retained value, losing just 40.7% after 5 years. Toyota dominates the rankings with seven models above the segment average.

“Proving that not all alternative fuel vehicles lose money, hybrids sit at the opposite end of the residual value spectrum compared to electric vehicles,” said Brauer. “These models offer increased fuel efficiency and zero range anxiety, with more consumers hopping on the hybrid bandwagon every day while helping them hold their value.”

 

Trucks Ranked by Depreciation

Trucks hold their value better than any other vehicle type, with Toyota’s Tacoma and Tundra topping the list, followed by the Ford Ranger, Jeep Gladiator, GMC Canyon, and Nissan Frontier all ranking above the segment’s 40.4% average.

“Midsize trucks tend to outrank their full-size counterparts, suggesting more buyers prefer the balance of capability, cost, and size offered by midsize models,” said Brauer.

 

Top 5 Small SUVs with the Lowest 5-Year Depreciation

Small SUVs like the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Subaru Forester are among the best-selling vehicles in the new car market. The demand for these models remains strong in the used market, as reflected in their high residual values.

“The combination of utility, fuel efficiency, and affordable pricing has made the compact SUV one of the most popular categories in the industry, with both new and used car shoppers,” said Brauer.

 

Top 5 Small SUVs with the Highest 5-Year Depreciation

Electric models make up three of the top 5 small SUVs with the highest rate of depreciation, and all of these vehicles lose more than 59% of their value after 5 years.

“The average small SUV loses less than $15,000 after 5 years, but all of these models lose more than $23,000, with the Jaguar I-PACE off more than twice that amount, at nearly $52,000,” said Brauer.

 

Top 5 Midsize SUVs with the Lowest 5-Year Depreciation

The midsize SUV category is another popular segment, with the top-ranked Toyota 4Runner’s value down just 31.3% after 5 years and all of the top five models well above the segment average of 51.2%.

“The Jeep Wrangler has been one of the best vehicles for retained value for decades,” said Brauer. “But the Toyota 4Runner managed to sneak past the Wrangler to take the number one slot this year.” 

 

Top 5 Midsize SUVs with the Highest 5-Year Depreciation

Luxury models commonly lose the most value after 5 years, with all these SUVs experiencing more than 60% depreciation compared to the segment average of 51%.

“If you’re a fan of these midsize luxury SUVs just remember that buying one new means losing between $30,000 and $65,000 after 5 years,” said Brauer. 

 

Top 5 Large SUVs with the Lowest 5-Year Depreciation

Large SUVs mean both a big purchase price up front and big value loss after 5 years. But models like the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, GMC Yukon, and Chevrolet Tahoe can mitigate the losses.

“While ranked number one for holding its value, the pricey Mercedes-Benz G-Class still loses over $57,000 after 5 years," said Brauer. “The Chevrolet Tahoe may not have the same cachet as the Mercedes-Benz, but it will lose about half the value.”

 

Top 5 Large SUVs with the Highest 5-Year Depreciation

Most of the large SUVs with the highest depreciation rates are luxury models, but Nissan’s Armada also makes the list due to its aging design, which was finally refreshed for 2025.

"For buyers unable to afford a large luxury SUV when they’re new, used models like the Infiniti QX60, Land Rover Range Rover, and Cadillac Escalade offer a second chance at a much lower price,” said Brauer.

Car buyers should use this list to either purchase a new vehicle with low depreciation, or consider a high depreciation model offering big savings on the used market.

 

Methodology

iSeeCars analyzed over 800,000 5-year-old used cars sold from March 2024 to February 2025. Heavy-duty trucks and vans, models no longer in production as of the 2024 model year, and low-volume models were removed from further analysis. MSRPs were inflation-adjusted to 2025 dollars based on data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. The difference in average asking price for each vehicle between its MSRP and its used car pricing was mathematically modeled to obtain the vehicle’s depreciation.
