GMC Sierra 1500
Large pickup trucks have always been popular, but they can be tricky to resell. The GMC Sierra 1500 experiences significant depreciation in the first year, and with buyer appeal waning in 2025, used models will only depreciate further on the global market.
BMW 7 Series
It’s a slick powerhouse of a car, but the BMW 7 Series is currently suffering steep depreciation as a used car. The initial high cost, coupled with demanding maintenance costs and tech that’s quickly outdated by newer models, means that executive cars suffer when buyer demand shrinks.
Ford Explorer Hybrid
As a large SUV, the Ford Explorer Hybrid faces over-supply, high running costs, and declining appeal amid rising EV competition in 2025. Buyers currently favor more modern powertrains and smaller, cheaper city cars, so these big hybrids lose value faster.
Jaguar F-Pace
The Jaguar F-Pace is notorious for depreciating rapidly after purchase, but used models are struggling more due to Jaguar’s current brand strategy. There is also such an abundant supply of F-Paces that they cannot compete with similarly priced luxury vehicles on the market.
Jeep Gladiator
The Jeep Gladiator has a cult following, but this sadly hasn’t been enough to save it from losing value. Used Gladiators depreciate because their asking prices are so high, and there isn’t as much demand for uniquely styled vehicles with niche appeal as for mainstream models.
Audi A6
We can’t deny that the Audi A6 is a roaring beast on the road, but are those cars still highly sought-after this year? This high-spec saloon car is up against popular sporty SUVs, so people aren’t as willing to splurge, even with lower used car prices.
Kia Niro EV
As an early EV model, the electric Kia Niro is a victim of battery and tech advancements that render it outdated. Newer Niro EVs are also experiencing price reductions, so the used models are losing further value, and electric-car uptake has been slow.
DS 9
The DS 9 was only introduced in 2020, but it’s already very rare to see one on the road. DS has weak brand recognition and a limited dealer network, so both new and used models are poorly marketed. High prices and heavy initial depreciation also contribute.
Volvo V40
Hatchbacks used to be in high demand, but they’re currently being overtaken by SUVs. As a result, the Volvo V40 no longer has such a strong pull, even with its decent secondhand prices. Its resale value is also impacted by the fact that there are so many of them around.
Peugeot 3008
Another once-popular car, the Peugeot 3008, now faces fierce competition on the used crossover car market. Models that are just 5 years old lose a large chunk of their value, and this is only worsened by the older tech and designs used in older models.
Ferrari 296
Even hyper-luxurious speedsters like the Ferrari 296 can depreciate sharply when competition arrives, and that’s exactly what’s happening now. They’re already worth a lot less used, and with high running costs and limited user appeal, it’s very tricky to resell them.
Ford Expedition MAX
It’s a long-wheelbase version of the Ford Expedition SUV, but there’s not a whole lot of value in that maximized cargo space. The Expedition MAX is a high-maintenance car, so those costs eat up much of its value, and there’s less demand for oversized, off-road cars at the moment.
Fiat Tipo
The Fiat Tipo looks good and is surprisingly affordable for what it is, but the luxury market segment is cutthroat, especially for lesser-known players. Used Tipos have weak residual values, and they’ve fallen victim to a clash between oversupply and low buyer enthusiasm.
Fisker Ocean
It’s one of the newer EVs on the market, but the beautiful Fisker Ocean has terrible resale value. After Fisker filed for bankruptcy in 2024, people are now skeptical about the Ocean’s longevity, and concerns about its battery life also lead to steep post-purchase value loss.
Lexus IS
Lexus is a powerful brand, but the well-regarded IS is slowly falling out of favor. Compact luxury saloons don’t have as much pull once they’ve been used, with buyers preferring crossover models instead. This harms the Lexus IS’s long-term appeal and resale value.
Jeep Compass
The Jeep Compass is a crossover SUV, so you’d expect it to be a big hit in 2025. However, even more affordable secondhand models are struggling due to steep discounts being placed on new Compasses. This drops their initial value, which then progressively landslides.
Mitsubishi Shogun Sport
You might not have heard of the Mitsubishi Shogun Sport because it’s a niche European model, and it's no longer as common on the used-car market either. With demand dwindling, the Shogun Sport’s value is also dropping due to high running and maintenance costs.
BMW X5
We can’t deny that the BMW X5 is still desirable when new, but that swiftly changes after a year of ownership. Used X5s lose value because they’re expensive to run, the tech quickly becomes outdated, and newer variants render them obsolete in the resale market.
Maserati Levante
The Levante is a gorgeous, exotic sports SUV, but those are the vehicles that depreciate the fastest once they’ve been used. Like many Maseratis, it has a niche buyer base, especially secondhand, and the post-purchase costs are enough to put many people off them.
Chrysler Voyager
It looks very 2007, so we can see why the Chrysler Voyager’s appeal is somewhat limited. Older, less fashionable cars are being pushed out of the used-car market by newer, more glamorous SUVs and MPVs. They’re becoming forgotten, so they will only depreciate further.
Aston Martin F-Type
It’s a high-performance sports car, so if you’re going to spend that money, you’d want a brand new model. As a result, used Aston Martin F-Types don’t sell well because they’ve lost that novelty. In an already-narrow buyer pool, secondhand sports cars are also eclipsed by newer models.
Audi A4
The 2025 used compact-executive car market is flooded with vehicles, and buyers are fickle. If people can get a more popular or stylish car secondhand, they will, leaving cars like the Audi A4 to continue depreciating until their resale cost is practically nothing.
Land Rover Range Rover
It’s simultaneously a highly popular and strongly disliked car for its looks and performance, but the Range Rover always has better value when new. Used models are affected by ownership costs, and the Land Rover market is saturated, leading some to eclipse others in the used-car segment.
Buick Encore
The Encore has gotten by very well on Buick’s spotless brand prestige, but, unfortunately, every great car has its day. This car is currently not performing well on resale markets because there are many cars that stand out more, and its limited appeal also works against it.
Lincoln Navigator L
It’s ultra-large and impossibly glamorous, but most people simply can’t justify splurging on a vehicle like the Lincoln Navigator L. Not only does it have a small potential buyer base, but it loses value almost instantly after purchase, and this depreciation continues as demand falls.
Hyundai Sonata
The Hyundai Sonata is a large, sleek saloon car from a mainstream brand, so it must be doing well, right? Wrong! Unfortunately, it is hard to resell due to competition from more modern SUVs, and supply currently outweighs demand. As their value goes down, so does their appeal.
Ford Kuga
New Ford Kugas are popular and have a strong buyer base, but they suffer from rapid new model turnover, heavy fleet usage, and strong competition in the compact-SUV space. They’re also not exclusive enough to maintain their value in the used-car market.
Volkswagen Passat
The Volkswagen Passat is known for having some issues, and its resale value is also being decimated by shrinking popularity and oversupply of new models. Many Passats are also sold with an initial discount, so they’re already at a disadvantage before being sold as used.
Mini Cooper Hardtop
The two-door Mini Cooper Hardtop certainly has an audience, but even this good-looking little city car has its downsides. On the current market, new Minis still outmuscle used models, and there are so many around that it’s almost impossible for a secondhand Hardtop to recoup its value.
Maserrati Grecale
It’s another luxury SUV from a premium brand, and the used Maserati Grecale suffers from the same resale issues as the rest of them. Its secondhand appeal is limited, it’s expensive to run, and much of its appeal is novelty, which wears off almost as quickly as its initial value.
Renault Zoe
The Renault Zoe is a landmark electric city car, but being an early EV has put it at a consistent disadvantage. Used electric cars always struggle because they depreciate so quickly, and the Zoe is depreciating more this year as its historically low resale values reach a new high.
Nissan Armada
The Nissan Armada once appealed to a large buyer base, but it’s now simply an oversized car that's expensive to maintain and isn’t relevant to driver needs in 2025. Its buyer pool has shrunk more this year, and its resale value is also down.
BMW 840i Sport
It’s a premium grand tourer, but the BMW 840i Sport has such a high new price that it’s impossible to maintain that long-term value when used. This model also undergoes rapid update cycles and features shifting luxury tech, both of which actually depress its secondhand value.
DS 3 E-Tense
You’ve likely not heard of the DS 3 E-Tense because it’s such a niche EV with weak brand recognition and supply that greatly overwhelms its modest demand. Its value is already mostly obliterated before it is resold, and it lacks the appeal of mainstream alternatives.
Chevrolet Blazer
It’s one of the lesser-known Chevies, so the Blazer is already at a disadvantage, and it generally fares unfavorably on the used car market. This is due to the abundance of used models compared to moderate demand, causing faster-than-average depreciation.
