What the numbers say

A 2015 Dodge Journey still asks 52% of what a 2020 one does — that's how much value it holds after 5 years. Among 78 suvs we price, that ranks #43, below the 53% class median. The steepest single-year drop comes at year 2 (−20%), after which losses ease to about 12.1% a year. Mileage costs it 31%: the same car reads 100k–150k instead of Under 40k miles.
