Per VINdown's modeling, the Hyundai Sonata Plug-In-Hybrid retains an estimated 60% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #327 of 684 cars we track. That trails the 63% five-year average for Sedan in its class by 3 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Hyundai Sonata Plug-In-Hybrid sheds about 8% of its original MSRP in year one alone. From roughly $33,400 it falls to around $20,207 by year five — a five-year loss near $13,193, about $7.23 a day in depreciation.

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