Mazda CX5 vs Rav4 vs Nissan Xtrail 2.5 (ALL 2017) which will likely hold value best for coming 5yrs.

Im looking at buying a SUV but want it to hold its value as might need to sell in 12-24months once we emigrate. Ideally want a RAV4 but would like to know which is likely to hold its value for the coming 2-5yrs (based on how much they have lost in value since 2017 and brand new).
I see the new RAV4 has come out, have the older models taken a hit on the pricing already or should i wait a couple of months?

Hi there

As we discovered when researching an article about the RAV4's depreciation, this model (the current-generation) suffers quite steep initial depreciation, but this then stabilises for the next few years. Obviously the new model (2019-on) did have an effect on the previous-generation model's value retention, and combined with their age, the value of those took another knock in recent years. The upside is that you could get a used, previous-generation RAV4 for not too much money, and it will certainly depreciate a lot slower from here on than a used Nissan or Mazda CX-5 of similar age. That's the brand power of Toyota speaking...

Hope this helps!
