Depreciation when you’re buying cars is inevitable, but some cars lose value more quickly than others, so here are the cars that are depreciating the least in the US, and one surprising brand absolutely dominates.
A new study has revealed which cars lose the least value over time – and the results might surprise you.
After analyzing hundreds of thousands of used car sales, it turns out one brand absolutely crushes the competition when it comes to value retention.
If you want a car that won’t tank in price after a few years, start here.

An appreciation of the cars that are depreciating the least
It’s a race to the bottom when it comes to car depreciation.
But, according to recent data from iSeeCars based on five-year-old vehicles, there’s a big gap between the best and the rest.
The study looked at more than 800,000 used car sales in the US and found that, on average, cars lose around 38.8 percent of their value after five years.
But the models on this list are doing far better than that.
Leading the way is the Porsche 911, which loses just 19.5 percent of its value over five years, which is barely half of the national average.

The brand leading the charge surprisingly, however, is Toyota.
The Toyota Tacoma tops the entire list, depreciating only 14.6 percent over five years – that’s less than half the national average.
Right behind it is the Toyota Tundra, followed by the Toyota 4Runner, both proving that reliability and reputation pay off.
Out of the top ten slowest-depreciating cars in America, four are Toyotas. That includes trucks, SUVs, and even a hybrid: the Toyota Corolla Hybrid, both popular and reliable.

The one brand to rule them all
While sports cars like the Porsche 911 still hold impressive resale value, Toyota’s across-the-board consistency is what stands out.
Trucks, SUVs, and hybrids from the brand all appear in the top ten, showing Toyota’s ability to blend practicality with a little bit of pizazz.
The reason is simple: great reliability, affordable maintenance, and a sky-high used-market demand because Toyota models often outlast their rivals and command strong resale prices because buyers trust the brand’s longevity.

So while luxury brands hold prestige, Toyota is proving that dependability is the true power move when it comes to resale value in the US.
