Buying a car is one thing, but owning it five years later can be a whole other financial story. Some lose so much value so quickly that even dealers hesitate to take them back. Using fresh 2025 data from CarEdge, here are the biggest resale flops in today’s market.
Toyota Mirai – 20.6% Resale Value

Hydrogen power might be the future, but in 2025, it’s looking more like a financial sinkhole. The Mirai tops the worst list, shedding nearly 80% of its value. Blame the lack of fueling infrastructure and limited buyer interest—this sedan is practically radioactive on the used market.
Jeep Grand Cherokee – 32.3% Resale Value

You’d think a household SUV name like this would hold value, but no. The Grand Cherokee’s depreciation is steep and steady. Oversupply, reliability issues, and rising competition from crossovers are all dragging it down. Don’t let the rugged styling fool you—this one doesn’t age well on dealer lots.
Dodge Durango – 35.3% Resale Value

Muscular looks, meaty V8 option, and resale value that takes a nosedive? The Durango might impress when new, but it drops value fast thanks to thirsty engines and limited demand in a market trending toward more efficient SUVs.
Dodge Hornet – 35.3% Resale Value

The new kid on the block is already tripping over its own feet. The Hornet’s awkward brand fit and unclear identity (Is it sporty or luxury?) haven't done it any favors. Combine that with stiff competition and badge baggage, and resale prices tumble accordingly.
Chrysler Voyager – 35.8% Resale Value

Marketed as the budget Pacifica, the Voyager cuts costs... and resale value. Minivans already struggle on the used lot, and when you pair basic features with minimal brand excitement, you get a van that becomes a tough sell just a few years after purchase.
Nissan ARIYA – 36.1% Resale Value

EVs aren’t immune to depreciation, especially when they’re late to the game. The ARIYA arrived as the segment heated up, but middling performance, high price, and heavy competition hurt its long-term value. Nissan’s EV flagship is already losing juice in the resale arena.
Nissan Armada – 37.7% Resale Value

Here's another case of a big body, big power, and big losses when it comes to resale. The Armada is a gas-guzzling behemoth that’s lost favor among buyers chasing efficiency and tech. Its dated feel and bulk make it hard to flip, especially when newer SUVs do it all better.
Nissan LEAF – 37.7% Resale Value

Once a trailblazer, now a trade-in headache. The LEAF suffers from dated battery tech and a shrinking niche. With longer-range, more stylish EVs entering the market, this compact hatch struggles to keep up.
Jeep Wrangler 4xe – 39.5% Resale Value

It seemed like the perfect combo: electric power and Jeep ruggedness. But in reality, the 4xe hasn’t lived up to the hype. Complexity, high cost, and middling range have dimmed its appeal. Dealers aren’t lining up to take these hybrids back, even with the Jeep badge.
Buick Enclave – 39.7% Resale Value

The Buick Enclave offers comfort and plenty of space, but its resale value takes a serious hit. The vehicle depreciates fast, likely due to soft brand demand and fierce competition in the three-row SUV market.
Volkswagen ID.4 – 39.7% Resale Value

Volkswagen’s EV entry hasn’t aged well in resale circles. Software glitches, moderate range, and underwhelming charging performance have cooled enthusiasm. The ID.4 loses value quicker than many rivals, despite strong branding.
Subaru Solterra – 40.3% Resale Value

Built in partnership with Toyota, the Solterra should’ve been a hit. Instead, it’s stuck with a short range and sluggish demand. Subaru loyalists expect adventure-ready practicality, and this EV hasn’t delivered.
Ford Expedition – 41.0% Resale Value

The Expedition has been astaple of the full-size SUV world but depreciation reflects changing tastes. High fuel costs and surging hybrid competition make buyers wary. It's roomy and powerful, sure—but resale numbers are clear: families and fleets are looking elsewhere for value.
Chrysler Pacifica – 41.4% Resale Value

The Pacifica is loaded with family-friendly features and checks many boxes except resale. Even with a hybrid option, minivan stigma and brand instability weigh it down. Buyers often lease, not buy, and that’s not helping the Pacifica’s case on used-car lots.
Ford Edge – 42.1% Resale Value

Once a midsize SUV darling, the Edge is aging without charm. It doesn’t offer the latest tech or fuel economy, and with Ford’s eyes on electrification, it feels like a forgotten model. Resale figures reflect that fading spotlight.
