Kia Telluride depreciation by country

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

🇺🇸
United States
Baseline

Baseline market. The Telluride has been supply-constrained since launch, with many selling at or above MSRP, giving it exceptional resale compared to other Kia models.

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

Strong demand for AWD three-row SUVs in Canada keeps Telluride resale robust, especially in Ontario and BC. Winter-ready SX trims hold value particularly well.

Currency: CAD Unit: km
🇬🇧
United Kingdom
-22% retention

Not officially sold in the UK, where Kia offers the Sorento instead. The few grey-import Tellurides depreciate faster due to limited parts support and right-hand-drive scarcity.

Currency: GBP Unit: mi
🇪🇺
Europe
-20% retention

Not officially offered in Europe, which favors the smaller Sorento. Any imported examples face steep depreciation due to emissions compliance and lack of dealer network.

Currency: EUR Unit: km
🇸🇦
Saudi Arabia
+5% retention

Popular family SUV in Saudi Arabia with strong dealer support from Kia's regional network. Large-displacement V6 and AC-ready cabins keep used demand high, supporting resale.

Currency: SAR Unit: km
🇮🇳
India
-18% retention

Not officially sold in India; Kia offers the Carnival and Carens in the segment. Any Tellurides are rare private imports and depreciate sharply due to no factory service.

Currency: INR Unit: km
🇦🇺
Australia
-12% retention

Not officially available in Australia, leaving the Sorento as Kia's three-row option. Private imports depreciate faster than US or Canadian equivalents due to compliance costs.

Currency: AUD Unit: km

Kia Telluride 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 Kia Telluride.

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
+32% 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.

Kia Telluride FAQ

How much does a Kia Telluride depreciate per year?
A new Kia Telluride typically depreciates about 12% in the first year and 6–8% each year after. After five years, a Telluride retains around 62% of its MSRP — one of the best figures in the three-row SUV segment and well above the industry average of 45%.
What is a Kia Telluride worth after 5 years?
A Telluride purchased new for $45,000 will typically be worth around $27,900 after five years and 70,000 miles. Well-equipped SX and SX Prestige trims in desirable colors can fetch $29,000 or more, while LX base trims trend slightly lower in dollar terms but retain a similar percentage.
Does the Telluride depreciate less than other three-row SUVs?
Yes. The Telluride has consistently outperformed rivals like the Ford Explorer, Chevy Traverse, and Honda Pilot on depreciation, often by 5–10 percentage points over five years. Strong demand and limited supply since its 2020 launch are the main drivers.
How much does an accident reduce a Telluride's value?
A minor accident reduces resale by roughly 8%, a moderate accident by about 18%, and a major accident with frame damage by approximately 32%. Because the Telluride trades heavily on condition and clean history, even a minor Carfax entry can noticeably dent resale.
Does mileage affect Telluride depreciation more than age?
For the first four years, age drives most of the depreciation. After that, mileage takes over — each mile beyond the 14,000/year average reduces value by about $0.014. High-mileage Tellurides over 100,000 miles see steeper discounts despite the model's strong reputation.
