Hyundai Santa Cruz keeps an estimated 73% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #121 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 Santa Cruz retains an estimated 73% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #121 of 684 cars we track. That is 9 points above the 63% five-year average for Sedan in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Hyundai Santa Cruz sheds about 3% of its original MSRP in year one alone. From roughly $29,750 it falls to around $21,658 by year five — a five-year loss near $8,092, about $4.43 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Hyundai Santa Cruz bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
