Hyundai Elantra-N keeps an estimated 61% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #326 of 684 cars VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Hyundai Elantra-N retains an estimated 61% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #326 of 684 cars we track. That trails the 70% five-year average for Sports in its class by 9 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Hyundai Elantra-N sheds about 7% of its original MSRP in year one alone. From roughly $35,200 it falls to around $21,331 by year five — a five-year loss near $13,869, about $7.60 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used Hyundai Elantra-N bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
