Hyundai Sonata
This family sedan from Hyundai, with its spacious interior and strong, conventional design has made its name over the years as a solid, reliable vehicle that performs well. The serious decline in value takes two years to reach 40% depreciation, followed by a brief leveling for one year, only to continue the plummet to a staggeringly low value of only 18% of the retail price for a 2007 model. The Sonata has been around in its various models since 1985, being a staple of many different countries.
Lexus ES 350
The ES series suffers a marginally better depreciation decline than the rest of the models from Lexus, yet still high enough to be on our list. Initially losing 20-25% of their value, the decline lightly levels out to about another 8% drop per year thereafter. Fortunately, a two-year-old ES 350 is now selling for 72% of the original price tag, slightly better than the average for Lexus, also a 2015 model sells for around 60 percent.
