What the numbers say

A 2014 Ford Flex still asks 50% of what a 2019 one does — that's how much value it holds after 5 years. Among 74 suvs we price, that ranks #43, right at the class median. The steepest single-year drop comes at year 7 (−36.5%), after which losses ease to about 9.1% a year. Mileage costs it 60%: the same car reads 100k–150k instead of Under 40k miles. Calculated from 172 listings.
