The residual value of the car is very important, especially if the new owner of the car intends to sell it in the future. There are quite a few cars on the market that quickly lose a significant part of their value as soon as they leave the showroom, so it is much more profitable to buy them used. Experts singled out 10 such cars.
DS 3 E-Tense
This compact SUV suffers from limited interior space and an outdated infotainment system, making it depreciate quickly.
Maserati Ghibli
The interior of this car is not as luxurious as other high-end cars, and there are cheaper luxury cars with better performance.
Opel Corsa Electric
The high performance of this electric car is compensated by the high price and rapid wear and tear, which makes the car quickly lose its value.
Nissan Leaf
Although it’s a spacious and affordable electric car, its limited range and slow recharging quickly diminish its value.
Opel Mokka Electric
This car has a sophisticated design and easy handling, but trading it in will also reduce its value significantly.
Maserati Quattroporte
Due to the high price and the competition in the luxury car class, this car is quickly losing value.
Renault Zoe
While it’s a simple and fun car with good interior space, it costs more than some other small cars, which plays into its understatement.
DS 9
Despite its solid handling and stability, the lack of model variety and poor residual value projections make this car depreciate quickly.
Peugeot e-2008
This French electric SUV has a quiet ride and a good range of features, but suffers from small size and rapid depreciation.
BMW 8 series
While it’s a powerful coupe with a comfortable interior and plenty of tech, the lack of new features could quickly depreciate it this year.
