Depreciation is one of the automotive world’s great equalizers. A luxury SUV that was once well beyond reach can, after a few years on the road, land squarely in the same price bracket as a brand-new mainstream crossover — and that’s exactly the situation buyers find themselves in today with the third-generation Porsche Cayenne. The 2019 model year, which kicked off that generation, has depreciated to the point where well-priced examples trade for roughly the same money as a new Honda CR-V.

If you’ve ever watched a brand-new luxury SUV roll off a dealer lot and wondered where all that money goes, depreciation data has a blunt answer. A new study from iSeeCars — one of the most reliable sources for pure automotive market math — tracked nearly a million used cars in the five-year-old range and confirmed something savvy shoppers have long suspected: the steepest new-car losses are a used buyer’s greatest opportunity. The numbers are striking, and knowing how to read them can put serious money back in your pocket. For instance, the Porsche 718 Cayman is the slowest-depreciating vehicle…

UPDATE: 2026/09/16 19:00 EST BY SEAN MCMANUS Subaru’s Main Rival Puts Up A Fight With Competitive Pricing We added a section with details surrounding the Crosstrek’s and Forester’s Toyota rivals and their pricing. Looking at Subaru’s current lineup, if you’re shopping for an SUV specifically, there’s a bit of an anomaly that’s kind of hard to ignore; the fact that there’s “only” a $3,000 gap when you compare the Subaru Crosstrek vs the Subaru Forester.
