Kia RIO-5-Door keeps an estimated 66% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #216 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 RIO-5-Door retains an estimated 66% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #216 of 684 cars we track. That is 2 points above the 63% five-year average for Sedan in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Kia RIO-5-Door sheds about 5% of its original MSRP in year one alone. From roughly $17,690 it falls to around $11,604 by year five — a five-year loss near $6,086, about $3.33 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used Kia RIO-5-Door bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
