Volkswagen ID.4 keeps an estimated 37% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #494 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Volkswagen ID.4 retains an estimated 37% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #494 of 530 cars we track. That trails the 40% five-year average for EV in its class by 3 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Volkswagen ID.4 sheds about 6% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $45,095 it falls to around $16,685 by year five — a five-year loss near $28,410, about $15.57 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Volkswagen ID.4 bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
