Caution: These 9 Toyota Models Suffer from Poor Resale Value
Toyota's Reliability and Resale Value: Toyota is generally regarded as a reliable brand with strong resale values, ranking #13 in Consumer Reports' 2025 list, but some models, like the Grand Highlander and Sienna, face depreciation challenges.
High Depreciation Models: Several Toyota models, including the new Sequoia, Venza, and Crown, are projected to experience significant depreciation, with estimates ranging from 38% to 58% over five years, raising concerns about their long-term value.
Market Perception Issues: The introduction of new models, such as the Grand Highlander and Toyota Crown, has led to brand dilution and uncertainty in resale values, as consumers are unsure about their reliability and market demand.
Mirai's Extreme Depreciation: The Toyota Mirai, a hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle, is expected to depreciate by an astonishing 84% after five years, primarily due to limited hydrogen fueling infrastructure and competition from battery electric vehicles.
