What the numbers say

A 2016 Hyundai Veloster still asks 64% of what a 2021 one does — that's how much value it holds after 5 years. Among 11 coupes we price, that ranks #6, right at the class median. The steepest single-year drop comes at year 4 (−50.7%), after which losses ease to about 19.8% a year. Mileage costs it 45%: the same car reads 100k–150k instead of Under 40k miles. Calculated from 119 listings.
