What affordable cars are more profitable to own: top 10 cars

Often, the most profitable car to own is not the cheapest to maintain, but the one that loses the least in value. These are truly profitable cars that can be sold at a good price in the future.

CarEdge experts have compiled a list of models that lose the least percentage of their original price after five years during resale. From compact hatchbacks and sedans to pickups and supercars.

However, we at OBOZREVATEL have identified the most affordable of these cars. The rating includes the most popular models chosen by most motorists.

The most profitable cars to own:

1. Kia Rio (-15.2%);
2. Honda Civic (-16%);
3. Volkswagen Jetta (-16.7%);
4. Toyota Prius (-17.1%);
5. Honda CR-V (-17.7%);
6. Subaru XV/Crosstrek (-18%);
7. Subaru Impreza (-19%);
8. Mazda MX-5 (-19.4%);
9. Toyota Highlander (-20.6%);
10. Toyota RAV4 (-21%).

Thus, the list includes models with a range of loss of value over five years of about 15-20% of the original price. These models can be sold most profitably if you need to do so in a few years. At the same time, a year or two after the purchase, cars from the list will lose even less in value.
