Kia Niro-Ev keeps an estimated 32% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #657 of 684 cars VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Kia Niro-Ev retains an estimated 32% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #657 of 684 cars we track. That trails the 37% five-year average for EV in its class by 5 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Kia Niro-Ev sheds about 26% of its original MSRP 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.
