A Hyundai's value is what buyers actually pay today. ForCar reads real US asking prices across 29 Hyundai models ($1,300–$48,995) and shows the trade-in, private-party and dealer range by model, year and mileage — free, no signup.
Across 18 Hyundai models we price, a five-year-old car still asks about 59% of what the newest one does — that puts Hyundai #12 of 38 brands, above the 54% market median. The Excel holds value best at 93%, the Genesis worst at 39%. Calculated from 5,882 listings.

How well does a Hyundai hold its value?
Resale value is everything when you sell or trade. Because ForCar prices from the live market, you see how a Hyundai actually depreciates — here's the median value by age across the brand's models, from real listings (compare with the typical depreciation curve by age):
A Hyundai worth about $23,728 at one year old is typically down to ~$16,131 by five years — roughly 32% lost in the first five years. Open any model above for its own year-by-year curve.
Which Hyundai holds its value best?
Not every Hyundai depreciates the same. This is 5-year value retention by model — how much of its price each keeps after five years on the used market (higher = holds value better):
Retention = the median resale price of a ~5-year-old model versus a current one, from real listings. Luxury and high-powered trims usually drop hardest; practical, in-demand models hold on.
Does Hyundai hold value better than other brands?
Every brand we price, ranked by how much of its newest price a five-year-old car still asks — the median across that brand's models. Hyundai sits at #12 of 38, against a market median of 54%.
Which Hyundai body style holds value best?
The same badge depreciates differently depending on what it's bolted to. Here's every Hyundai body style we price, ranked by how much of its newest price a five-year-old car still asks.
Body styles with only one or two priced models move a lot year to year — read them as a direction, not a verdict.
What mileage costs a Hyundai
Crossing 100,000 miles takes about 60% off a Hyundai — gentler than the 64% the average used car loses. Median asking price in each odometer band, from our listings:
How far Hyundai prices spread
Two cars of the same year and badge rarely cost the same — trim, condition and seller move the number. Across Hyundai, the gap between cheap and dear runs about 79% of the median. The band shows the low-to-high range, the line is the median.
Trade-in, private-party & dealer price
Every Hyundai has three prices. Our low–median–high range maps to what a dealer pays you, what you'd get selling it yourself, and what a lot charges — see current used-market prices across all models too:
On Hyundai listings the dealer retail price (147% of median) runs about 2.2× the trade-in offer (68%) — the gap you're negotiating.
Trading in or selling your Hyundai?
Know all three numbers before you walk in. Trade-in is fastest but lowest; selling private-party nets the most; a dealer's asking price shows the ceiling. ForCar's range gives you the leverage to negotiate from real data, not a salesperson's screen.
