Mazda Mazda3 Hatchback keeps an estimated 65% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #222 of 684 cars VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Mazda Mazda3 Hatchback retains an estimated 65% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #222 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 Mazda Mazda3 Hatchback sheds about 8% of its original MSRP in year one alone. From roughly $25,690 it falls to around $16,724 by year five — a five-year loss near $8,966, about $4.91 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used Mazda Mazda3 Hatchback bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
