What the numbers say

A 2015 Hyundai Elantra GT still asks 47% of what a 2020 one does — that's how much value it holds after 5 years. Among 82 sedans we price, that ranks #54, below the 54% class median. The steepest single-year drop comes at year 2 (−33.3%), after which losses ease to about 19.3% a year. Mileage costs it 50%: the same car reads 100k–150k instead of Under 40k miles.
