Hyundai Kona Electric keeps an estimated 36% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #645 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 Kona Electric retains an estimated 36% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #645 of 684 cars we track. That trails the 63% five-year average for Sedan in its class by 27 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Hyundai Kona Electric sheds about 17% of its original MSRP in year one alone. From roughly $32,675 it falls to around $11,730 by year five — a five-year loss near $20,945, about $11.48 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Hyundai Kona Electric bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
