What the numbers say

A 2021 Hyundai Tucson still asks 73% of what a 2026 one does — that's how much value it holds after 5 years. Among 87 suvs we price, that ranks #2, above the 46% class median. The steepest single-year drop comes at year 7 (−22.3%), after which losses ease to about 9.3% a year. Mileage costs it 56%: the same car reads 100k–150k instead of Under 40k miles.
