Lexus NX Depreciation & Resale Value

Lexus NX keeps an estimated 70% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #75 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Lexus NX retains an estimated 70% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #75 of 530 cars we track. That is 12 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 Lexus NX sheds about 6% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $45,175 it falls to around $31,396 by year five — a five-year loss near $13,779, about $7.55 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Lexus NX bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
