Kia Depreciation

Kia, wouldn't want to be ya'-at least when it comes to resale value. Kia falls in the bottom half when looking across popular vehicle manufacturers. The exception for Kia, is their Soul model, which ranked in the top 25 of all models for value retention. What pulls Kia down, however, is their trifecta of the Sorento, Sedona and Cadenza, which all fall at the bottom of the list for overall depreciation by year 5.

2023 is our top pick for the best model year value for Kia vehicles. With the 2023, you would only pay, on average, 72% of the price as new, with 83% of the vehicle's useful life remaining. The 2022 and 2021 model years are also attractive years for the Kia models, and provide a relatively good value. Our rankings consider multiple factors, including original new prices, current prices, maintenance costs and remaining years of overall predictabe expenses. Our top ranked model year represents the most car for the money with a Kia model.

CarEdge Depreciation Calculator

You entered the vehicle's current age and how long you plan to own it. To understand your projected depreciation:
  • Start with the row matching the vehicle's current age
  • Find the row for the vehicle's age after your ownership period
  • The difference between those two resale values is your estimated depreciation
Example: If your vehicle is 2 years old and you plan to own it for 3 years, look at the values for 2 and 5 years old.
