What the numbers say

A 2015 Toyota Yaris still asks 94% of what a 2020 one does — that's how much value it holds after 5 years. Among 82 sedans we price, that ranks #3, above the 54% class median. The steepest single-year drop comes at year 8 (−33.4%), after which losses ease to about 16.1% a year. Mileage costs it 44%: the same car reads 100k–150k instead of Under 40k miles.
