Some vehicles keep a surprising share of their original price in the used market. This gallery draws on iSeeCars’ resale value rankings for cars, SUVs and trucks, running from a Porsche 911 at the top to a midsize pickup at 63.4 percent. Eleven models make the cut, each paired with the figure that earned its spot.
1. Porsche 911: Top Of The List
The Porsche 911 posts a 94.7% resale value, the highest figure anywhere on iSeeCars’ car resale rankings.
That puts the sports car at the very top of a list that also covers sedans, SUVs and trucks. For buyers, the number suggests a used 911 gives back a large share of its worth, which softens the sting of a high sticker price. Anyone weighing a sports car with a strong exit plan has an obvious benchmark here.
2. Chevrolet Corvette: American Exotic Holds Up
The Chevrolet Corvette lands at 82.1% resale value, fourth among luxury two-seaters and well ahead of most sports cars.
That result is notable for a model built around performance rather than practicality. The takeaway for shoppers is that a Corvette can be a comparatively sensible way to own a fast car, since less of the purchase price disappears when it is time to sell it on. Fewer rivals in the segment can claim a comparable figure.
3. Honda Civic: Compact Benchmark
Honda Civic resale value of 75.5% comes in second only to its own hatchback body style among small cars.
That ranking shows the compact holding its ground even against a sibling built on the same basic formula. Buyers weighing everyday transportation can read it as a sign that the Civic keeps a solid share of its worth, which tends to matter most to owners who eventually trade in. The result also keeps the model near the front of a busy small-car field.
4. Toyota Corolla: Small Sedan Staple
The Toyota Corolla earns 71.6% resale value, fifth among small cars on the ranking.
Fifth place is not a headline finish, but it still reflects a car that retains most of its value in a crowded class. Shoppers who prize low drama may find that appealing, since a Corolla pairs a modest purchase price with a dependable return when ownership ends and a replacement is needed. The steady showing helps explain why the nameplate keeps appearing in resale discussions.
5. Toyota 4Runner: Midsize SUV Leader
Among midsize SUVs, the Toyota 4Runner stands out with 74% resale value, the best of any listed.
That lead makes the rugged wagon a standout for owners who plan to sell or trade it later. Buyers attracted to its off-road image can treat the figure as financial reassurance, because a model that holds its price well reduces the real cost of a long stretch of ownership. Few rivals in the class manage the same.
6. Subaru Crosstrek: Subcompact Runner-Up
The Subaru Crosstrek reaches 71% resale value, second among the subcompact SUVs ranked.
Only one rival in the class does better, which is a strong showing for a small crossover aimed at everyday drivers. Shoppers comparing compact utility vehicles can use the result as a tiebreaker, since a smaller loss at resale offsets part of the cost of owning one. The figure adds weight to the model’s case among small crossovers.
7. Honda HR-V: Third In Class
Honda’s HR-V posts 70.6% resale value, third among subcompact SUVs on the list.
That puts it just behind the Crosstrek and close to the class leader. Anyone cross-shopping small crossovers will find the top three tightly bunched, so the HR-V remains a credible pick for buyers who care about what the vehicle will still be worth when the time comes to move on. Differences at this level are small, so condition and mileage will matter as much as the badge.
8. Lexus RX 350: Luxury SUV Pick
The Lexus RX 350 takes the top spot among luxury midsize SUVs on the ranking, with 67.6% resale value.
A luxury badge often brings steep depreciation, so leading this segment says something about how the RX is perceived on the used market. Buyers weighing premium family haulers may see that as a reason to look past the sticker, since a stronger resale figure reduces what the vehicle ultimately costs to own.
9. Ram 3500: Heavy-Duty Leader
The Ram 3500 records 79.8% resale value, the best of any heavy-duty truck on the page.
Heavy-duty pickups are expensive to buy, so retaining nearly four fifths of the value is a meaningful advantage. Contractors, haulers and anyone planning a serious towing setup can treat the number as proof that a working truck can still make financial sense when it comes time to replace one. Condition and mileage will still shape what any individual truck fetches.
10. Ford F-350 Super Duty: Super Duty Silver
Ford’s F-350 Super Duty follows closely at 79.6% resale value, second among heavy-duty trucks ranked.
The gap to the Ram is only two tenths of a percentage point, so the two are effectively neck and neck. Truck shoppers choosing between them can lean on brand preference, features or price, knowing the resale outlook on either one looks similarly strong in this particular ranking. Condition and mileage will still shape what any individual truck fetches.
11. Nissan Frontier: Last But Respectable
The Nissan Frontier closes the list at 63.4% resale value, last of the five midsize trucks listed.
Even so, the figure leaves it holding well over half its value, which is a respectable result and the reason it earns a place here. Shoppers pricing a midsize pickup should note the competition is stiff, yet a Frontier that returns more than three fifths of its worth still looks like a reasonable value proposition. The ranking still places it behind its rivals, so the finish is a caveat as much as a credit.
