Kia Telluride Depreciation & Resale Value

Kia Telluride keeps 52% of its recent market value after 5 years — #345 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Kia Telluride retains 52% of its recent market value after five years, ranking #345 of 530 cars we track. That trails the 58% five-year average for SUV in its class by 6 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Kia Telluride sheds about 13% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $39,995 it falls to around $20,757 by year five — a five-year loss near $19,238, about $10.54 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Kia Telluride bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
