Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Depreciation & Resale Value

Hyundai Sonata Hybrid keeps an estimated 61% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #192 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full depreciation curve.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid retains an estimated 61% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #192 of 530 cars we track. That is roughly in line with the 60% five-year average for Sedan in its class.

Most of the loss lands early: the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid sheds about 8% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $29,200 it falls to around $17,870 by year five — a five-year loss near $11,330, about $6.21 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Hyundai Sonata Hybrid bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
