Volkswagen Arteon Depreciation & Resale Value

Volkswagen Arteon keeps an estimated 50% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #364 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full depreciation curve.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Volkswagen Arteon retains an estimated 50% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #364 of 530 cars we track. That trails the 60% five-year average for Sedan in its class by 10 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Volkswagen Arteon sheds about 14% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $47,875 it falls to around $24,176 by year five — a five-year loss near $23,699, about $12.99 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Volkswagen Arteon bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
