Hyundai Kona Depreciation & Resale Value

Hyundai Kona keeps an estimated 64% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #151 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Hyundai Kona retains an estimated 64% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #151 of 530 cars we track. That is 6 points above the 58% five-year average for SUV in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Hyundai Kona sheds about 10% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $25,500 it falls to around $16,320 by year five — a five-year loss near $9,180, about $5.03 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Hyundai Kona bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
