The Hyundai Tucson is a compact crossover SUV known for its bold parametric styling, generous feature set, and available hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains. Depreciation runs slightly faster than segment leaders like the RAV4 and CR-V, though the Tucson's long warranty and strong value proposition help keep 5-year retained value competitive in the mainstream compact SUV class.

Hyundai Tucson depreciation by country

The same car depreciates at different rates in different markets. Here's how the Hyundai Tucson depreciation rate changes across the seven major markets we track.

🇺🇸
United States
Baseline

Baseline market. The Tucson sells well thanks to aggressive pricing and Hyundai's 10-year powertrain warranty, though resale trails the RAV4 and CR-V by 5–8 points at the 5-year mark.

Currency: USD Unit: mi
🇨🇦
Canada
-2% retention

Strong Canadian seller, especially in AWD and Hybrid configurations. Cold-climate demand for AWD compact SUVs keeps depreciation slightly shallower than the US baseline.

Currency: CAD Unit: km
🇬🇧
United Kingdom
+2% retention

One of Hyundai UK's top sellers, with the mild-hybrid and PHEV variants particularly popular. Strong fleet and private demand supports resale values better than most Korean rivals.

Currency: GBP Unit: mi
🇪🇺
Europe
Baseline

The Tucson is a top-10 SUV across Europe, and its 5-year warranty plus PHEV availability keep residuals firm. Diesel mild-hybrid variants depreciate faster as urban low-emission zones expand.

Currency: EUR Unit: km
🇸🇦
Saudi Arabia
+6% retention

Popular family SUV in Saudi Arabia due to reliability and dealer network strength. 2.0L and 2.5L gasoline variants retain value well; hybrids are rare and command less resale premium.

Currency: SAR Unit: km
🇮🇳
India
-10% retention

Positioned as a premium SUV above the Creta, the Tucson sees limited volume and faces steep depreciation due to thin used-market demand. Well-kept top trims hold up better among enthusiast buyers.

Currency: INR Unit: km
🇦🇺
Australia
-3% retention

Consistently among Australia's top-selling medium SUVs. AWD and Highlander trims retain value best, while front-drive base trims depreciate in line with segment average.

Currency: AUD Unit: km

Hyundai Tucson depreciation after an accident

An accident on a vehicle's history permanently increases its depreciation rate, even after perfect repairs. Here's how much extra depreciation each severity level adds to a Hyundai Tucson.

Minor accident
+8% depreciation

Paintwork, bumper scuffs, non-structural repairs. Disclosed on history reports but limited resale impact.

Moderate accident
+18% depreciation

Panel replacement, airbag deployment, meaningful CARFAX entry. Significantly accelerates depreciation.

Major accident
+33% depreciation

Frame damage, flood, salvage title. Permanent depreciation hit even after full restoration.

This "diminished value" is the extra depreciation a car carries after an accident. Insurance rarely reimburses it — our calculator bakes it into every depreciation estimate.

Hyundai Tucson FAQ

How much does a Hyundai Tucson depreciate per year?
A new Hyundai Tucson typically depreciates about 18% in the first year and 7–9% each year thereafter. After 5 years of average use, expect roughly 53% retained value, which is a few points behind segment leaders but ahead of many European rivals.
What is a Hyundai Tucson worth after 5 years?
A Tucson with an MSRP of $32,000 will generally be worth around $17,000 after 5 years and 67,500 miles. Hybrid and Limited trims in clean condition can command $1,000–$2,000 more, while high-mileage base SE models depreciate faster.
Does the Tucson Hybrid depreciate slower than the gas model?
Yes, modestly. The Hybrid's fuel savings and growing buyer demand translate to roughly 2–4% better 5-year retention than the equivalent gas Tucson. The PHEV depreciates faster initially due to federal tax credits baked into the new price, but stabilizes by year 4.
How does an accident affect Tucson depreciation?
A minor fender-bender reduces resale by around 8%, a moderate accident by ~18%, and a major structural accident by ~33%, even with professional repairs. A clean Carfax is especially important on Tucsons because buyers in this segment cross-shop the RAV4 and CR-V heavily.
Why does the Tucson depreciate faster than a Toyota RAV4?
The RAV4 benefits from stronger brand-equity perception and tighter supply, giving it a 5–8 point edge in 5-year retention. The Tucson offsets this with a lower transaction price and Hyundai's industry-leading warranty, so total cost of ownership often ends up comparable despite steeper depreciation on paper.
