The resale value of a car sold in India is very important as we all are visionaries in this matter! Prospective customers tend to be attracted to cars that can give you a good deal after being with you for five or more years. Kia is a new-comer and its resale value over the years will be an interesting aspect to be observed.
Over the years of automobile sales and resales, we have come across a common trend among all vehicles in terms of its depreciation value. The value goes down by 5% just after purchase, and then in the first year, it goes down by 15%. Then, year on it goes down by 10% and by the end of 5th year, your vehicle will have an average resale value of 50% its original ex-showroom price.
