Don't want to lose a ton of money on your next new car? These are the new car models that hold the most value after five years.
The Jeep Wrangler showed the slowest depreciation of any new car out there, according to iSeeCars, losing just 7.3 percent of its value over the first five years. That adds up to a price difference of $2361 between a brand-new Wrangler and an identical model that’s five years old.
The Porsche 911 is one of a handful of sports cars on this list. Seeing it here isn’t entirely surprising—it’s one of the most desirable performance machines on the market, perfectly usable for daily driving or track duty, and everything else in between. It loses 14.6 percent of its value in five years, or $20,634 off MSRP.
Number three on the list of least-depreciating vehicles is the Toyota Tacoma pickup truck. Long known as a durable, dependable midsize truck, the Tacoma loses a mere 14.9 percent of its value, or $5926, in the first five years.
The Civic is the only Honda valuable enough to make it onto this list. With classic Japanese dependability and a world-class interior, we’d say it belongs here. Considering how in-demand new Type Rs are becoming, it makes sense to see a 16.3-percent decrease in value over 5 years, equating to an average of $4327 in value lost.
Shockingly, the only Subaru on this list isn’t an Outback or an Ascent. No, it’s the company’s lone sports car, the fantastic-driving BRZ. After five years the BRZ loses 18.2 percent of its value on average, resulting in a lost value of $5985, according to iSeeCars.com.
People love a good pony car, and the Ford Mustang is, without a doubt, the pony car king. With a V-8, a manual transmission, and some excellent handling characteristics, it’s no wonder people are willing to fork up the cash to own one. iSeeCars says Mustangs lose 19.4 percent of their value on average, roughly $7528 per car after 5 years.
Toyota is the only brand to have multiple cars on this list, and it’s easy to see why. The brand is known for producing some of the most affordable, most reliable cars on the planet. And the Corolla is no exception. The average Corolla loses 19.8 percent of its value after 5 years, or $4617 per car.
The Versa is perhaps the least interesting car here, but we can’t blame it for showing up. It’s the cheapest new car on sale today, and comes with most of the features you’d expect from a modern vehicle. Value drops by 19.9 percent on average after 5 years, or $3183.
We’re actually shocked the Camaro ended up on this list. Demand for Chevy’s pony car dwindles by the year, with the car expected to the axe by 2023. But according to this study, the Camaro can hold its value. It only loses 20.2 percent of its worth after five years, or $7981 on average.
