Kia Niro EV keeps an estimated 32% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #512 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Kia Niro EV retains an estimated 32% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #512 of 530 cars we track. That trails the 40% five-year average for EV in its class by 8 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Kia Niro EV sheds about 26% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $39,700 it falls to around $12,505 by year five — a five-year loss near $27,195, about $14.90 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Kia Niro EV bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
