Kia Optima

The Kia Optima offers a spacious interior, reliable motor, numerous upgradable features and an attractive design. On the other hand, a poor fuel efficiency rating and a 35% depreciation in the first year, are cons that tend to outweigh those pros very quickly. With the value leveled out for around three years at 60% of the original price, it’s good news for those looking to own a used model, and a 2015 one will be selling at 50% less.

Kia Cadenza

A whopping 42% depreciation is what you’ll face with a Cadenza parked in your driveway, and it makes this Kia one of the top contenders on this list. The value of a 2018 model has already declined by $12,000 and a further $5,000 decline for a 2017 model. The drop in value doesn’t stop there though, a 2014 Cadenza is valued at only 36% of its original retail price. This car is known as the Kia K7 in South Korea.
