Jeep Cherokee Depreciation & Resale Value

Jeep Cherokee keeps an estimated 57% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #270 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Jeep Cherokee retains an estimated 57% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #270 of 530 cars we track. That is roughly in line with the 58% five-year average for SUV in its class.

Most of the loss lands early: the Jeep Cherokee sheds about 10% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $35,000 it falls to around $19,845 by year five — a five-year loss near $15,155, about $8.30 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Jeep Cherokee bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
