Kia Sportage keeps an estimated 66% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #123 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Kia Sportage retains an estimated 66% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #123 of 530 cars we track. That is 8 points above the 58% five-year average for SUV in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Kia Sportage sheds about 4% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $28,790 it falls to around $18,943 by year five — a five-year loss near $9,847, about $5.40 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used Kia Sportage bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
