Per VINdown's modeling, the Kia Optima Hybrid retains an estimated 61% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #195 of 530 cars we track. That is roughly in line with the 60% five-year average for Sedan in its class.
The loss does not land all at once here: the Kia Optima Hybrid sheds about 8% in year one and keeps going at much the same rate. From roughly $29,310 it falls to around $17,908 by year five — a five-year loss near $11,402, about $6.25 a day in depreciation.
There is no single sweet spot on the Kia Optima Hybrid: it gives up a similar share of its value every year rather than falling off a cliff, so how long you keep it matters more than what age you buy it at.
