Volkswagen Arteon keeps an estimated 50% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #498 of 684 cars VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Volkswagen Arteon retains an estimated 50% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #498 of 684 cars we track. That trails the 63% five-year average for Sedan in its class by 13 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Volkswagen Arteon sheds about 14% of its original MSRP 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 1, a lightly-used Volkswagen Arteon bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
