A 2021 BMW X5 still asks 50% of what a 2026 one does — that's how much value it holds after 5 years. Among 87 suvs we price, that ranks #35, above the 46% class median. The steepest single-year drop comes at year 8 (−35.2%), after which losses ease to about 6.5% a year. Mileage costs it 69%: the same car reads 100k–150k instead of Under 40k miles. Calculated from 601 listings.
