These 2025 Models Are Dropping in Value Faster Than the Market Average
If you’re buying a new car, watch out! Some cars lose value fast. In this list, we reveal 35 cars predicted to lose value faster than most in 2025. If you’re in the market for a new vehicle, reviewing this list could help you avoid costly depreciation and keep more money in your pocket.
2022 Maserati Quattroporte
The Quattroporte is pure Italian luxury. It turns heads with its design and that loud engine roar. But sadly, it doesn’t hold value. It drops over half its value in years. If you’re buying it used, you might score your dream car at an even dreamier price.
2022 BMW 7 Series
The 7 Series is BMW’s big luxury ride. It’s full of gadgets and comfort, yet it loses a huge chunk of value fast. Buying new will set you back a pretty penny, while buying used brings you that comfort and tech for way less cash.
2022 Maserati Ghibli
The Ghibli looks stunning. It sounds amazing. But its value falls quickly, and repairs can sting your wallet in the worst way possible. If you want the prestige of a Ghibli without the hefty price tag, you’re better off buying a used model that’s been well looked after.
2022 BMW 5 Series
BMW’s 5 Series feels seriously classy. But like the 7-Series, it drops in value fast. The tech ages, too. You’ll get a good, solid ride for a lot less if you go for a used one. Just remember to plan for possible upkeep costs further down the line.
2022 Cadillac Escalade ESV
The Escalade ESV is so luxurious that it feels more like a living room on wheels than a massive SUV with fancy tech. New, it costs a fortune, but it loses over half its value pretty fast. It’s smarter to grab a used one - you’ll save big.
2022 BMW X5
BMW’s X5 is the perfect mix of sporty and classy in a cute little package. It handles like a dream and looks great too. But here’s the deal - it drops in value fast. Buying one used is the way to go. Just make sure it’s been taken care of.
2022 Infiniti QX80
The Infiniti QX80 is big, strong, and super spacious. It has that big luxury SUV presence and is packed with features. However, it loses value quicker than you’d expect, and is now worth around 56% less than it was brand new. A used one is far easier on your wallet.
2022 Cadillac XT5
The 2022 Cadillac XT5 has a 56% depreciation rate. It’s great news if you’re buying used, because you get that smooth, stylish ride for far less. The XT5 handles daily commutes like a pro and is a classy ride for way less money when used.
2022 BMW X3
The X3 is super fun and sporty. It really hugs those corners and feels zippy on the road. Still, it takes a steep dip in value early on. Our advice is to skip the new models and buy one that is a couple of years old. You get that iconic BMW feel for around 55% less.
2022 Chevrolet Suburban
The Suburban is huge and incredibly popular in the U.S. It hauls just about anything - people, pets, gear, groceries, you name it. It’s tough and practical, but loses value fast. If you don’t mind a model with some miles, buying used is the smart option.
2022 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
Not even the Merc S-Class is safe from depreciation, and stands to depreciate up to 53% in just a few years. It’s packed with gadgets and feels like a rolling five-star hotel. However, luxury items don’t retain their value well, making used ones a bargain compared to new ones.
2022 Jaguar XF
The Jaguar XF drives like a dream, but buyers know it loses value real fast. It’s a mix of brand, reputation, maintenance costs, and competition from German rivals. By the third year, it’s already dropped to about half its new price.
2022 Alfa Romeo Giulia
Alfa’s Giulia is so much fun to drive and has sharp handling. But, it’s an Alfa, and that means release value isn’t its strong point. Low demand really pushes its price down quickly, and reliability concerns only add to its depreciation value.
2022 Genesis G90
The Genesis G90 is a bit of a hidden gem in the car world. It’s luxury without the huge price tag. But buyers still don’t see it as equal to Mercedes or BMW, and it loses value quickly. It’s actually a steal used, since you get almost all the luxury for half the price in a few years.
2022 Volvo S90
There’s no denying that Volvo is one of the safest cars on the road. It’s loaded with tons of cool features, but it’s still no German luxury sedan. Its depreciation value is not as bad as other cars on our list, but it’s just not in high demand.
2022 Audi A8
Audi’s A8 is packed with tech and is comfortable to drive. It’s a large luxury sedan, which means it loses value quickly. Buyers who want one often go for used models because the savings are huge. By the third year, the price is nearly half of what it is new.
2022 Cadillac CT6
The Cadillac CT6 is stylish and loaded with cool features. But big sedans just aren’t as popular as they once were. Add in high running costs, and resale prices fall fast. By 2025, it’s worth about a third less than it would be if you were buying new.
2022 Lexus LS
The Lexus LS might be a big, luxury cruiser, but it, too, drops in value faster than smaller Lexus models. Why? It costs a lot upfront, and newer versions bring fresher tech and styling. Even though it’s reliable, its high running costs keep used prices low.
2022 Acura RLX
Acura's RLX is roomy and reliable, but it flies under the radar. Poor brand recognition in the luxury sedan market pushes resale prices down. People shopping for used cars skip over the RLX in favor of more well-known brands, which hurts its value.
2022 Porsche Panamera
The Porsche Panamera is a great car, but buyers tend to lean more toward Porsche SUVs. Sadly, it’s the high repair and maintenance costs that make older Panameras less appealing to buyers. So, even though it's fast and stylish, it loses its value fast.
2022 Nissan Armada
The Armada is a big, capable SUV that’s great for hauling. But it’s not fuel-efficient and hasn’t seen any major updates in years. Buyers prefer newer, more modern SUVs, so older Armadas drop in value fast in a few years. It’s a great used buy, though.
2022 Chrysler 300
The Chrysler 300 has a strong V8 option, but sales have slowed over the years. Fewer people are shopping for sedans and going for SUVs instead. Low-mileage versions of the 300 sell for around 41% less after just a few years.
2022 Lincoln Navigator
Lincoln’s Navigator might be luxurious and super comfortable, but it drinks fuel and costs a lot to own. Buyers prefer newer versions with better gas mileage and new tech. Older models take a steep dip in value, even if they look and drive great.
2022 Land Rover Range Rover
If there’s one car that’s expensive to own and maintain, it’s a Range Rover. There are too many reliability issues to worry about, and buyers are hesitant. Resale prices take a big hit even though it’s a status symbol, and it loses nearly half its value in a short time.
2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS
The GLS might be roomy and upscale, but it comes with high running costs that not everyone can afford. Newer models have better fuel efficiency and tech, making older ones less appealing. This pushes resale prices down by up to 45% in a few years.
2022 Jaguar I-Pace
The I-Pace is Jaguar’s luxury electric SUV. But even EV tech moves fast, and newer models of the I-Pace have better range and charging speeds. Older models are just less appealing, and the I-Pace loses almost half its value in just 3 years.
2022 Infiniti Q70
Just like the Q80, the Infiniti Q70 hasn’t kept up with newer tech trends, and buyers see it as outdated. This, combined with a smaller fan base, results in a resale value drop of up to 50% in just a few years. Buying this car used is a much better option to save yourself money.
2022 Lincoln Continental
Lincoln’s Continental is just another car that has fallen victim to the SUV craze. SUVs have taken over, so big luxury sedans like the Continental lose value faster than ever. It’s a shame, because the Continental is a smooth, comfortable ride.
2022 Audi A6
The Audi A6 is packed with tech, but it suffers the same fate as other German sedans. Tech moves fast, and repairs cost a lot of money. Buyers are more inclined to look for bargains in the used market, which pushes prices down and depreciation values up.
2022 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
The E-Class is Merc’s best-seller, but when there are so many on the market, resale prices drop. Buyers also know the maintenance costs on these cars aren't cheap. That makes it lose value at a steady—and sometimes painful—pace.
2022 Jaguar XJ
Jaguar’s XJ might be powerful, but it has a depreciation rate of 47% in just three years. The brand's reputation for repairs hurts it, and luxury buyers are cautious of paying too much for a car that’s going to cost them a lot later on. It’s a bargain when buying used.
2022 Tesla Model S
The Tesla Model S is a tech leader, but EV technology changes fast. Newer models of the Tesla with longer range make older ones feel outdated. There are also a few concerns around the battery that make buyers cautious, which leads to quicker depreciation.
2022 BMW 6 Series
BMW’s 6 Series is sporty and stylish, but it’s pretty expensive to fix. Buyers steer clear of high upkeep costs, so resale prices fall fast. It’s a great-looking car, sure, but it’s just not a great investment considering a 45% depreciation value.
2022 Lexus GS
If reliability and comfort are what you want in a car, the Lexus GS is the car for you. Sadly, it’s been discontinued, and its value has fallen fast in the last three years. Buyers are worried about parts and support. But, it’s still a good buy in the used car market.
2022 Audi A7
Audi’s A7 is one of the more popular models from the brand, but the upkeep costs are just way too high for some owners. Luxury buyers know this, so resale prices have fallen quickly over the last few years. It’s a great car if you’re buying it used, though, as it has a depreciation rate of about 45% over three years. Just keep an eye on those maintenance bills.
