Kia Seltos keeps an estimated 64% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #240 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 Seltos retains an estimated 64% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #240 of 684 cars we track. That is roughly in line with the 63% five-year average for Sedan in its class.
Most of the loss lands early: the Kia Seltos sheds about 3% of its original MSRP in year one alone. From roughly $23,790 it falls to around $15,249 by year five — a five-year loss near $8,541, about $4.68 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used Kia Seltos bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
