The Cadillac XT5 luxury crossover has one of the highest depreciation rates in the automotive industry, losing over half of its value over the course of five years, according to a recent study from ISeeCars.
Specifically, the study found that the Cadillac XT5 depreciates 53.9 percent over five years, losing $31,737 of its original MSRP on average. That is the most significant depreciation rate in the small SUV category, and the 25th-worst overall.
For comparison, the next-highest depreciation rate among small SUVs belongs to the Alfa Romeo Stelvio, which loses 52.3 percent of its value over five years, followed by the Jaguar F-Pace, which depreciates 51.8 percent in the same time period. The Audi Q5 slots in fourth at 51.6 depreciation, while the Audi SQ5 rounds out fifth, losing 50.2 percent of its value. Overall, the small SUV segment tends to depreciate 38 percent on average.
Across all makes and models, the vehicle with the highest depreciation rate is the Maserati Quattroporte with 64.5 percent, while the BMW 7 Series depreciates 61.8 percent on average. The Maserati Ghibli loses 61.3 percent of its value over five years, while the BMW 5 Series hybrid depreciates 58.8 percent. The Cadillac Escalade ESV, meanwhile, is the fifth-worst vehicle on the list, thanks to its 58.5 percent depreciation rate.
The Porsche 911 coupe holds its value extremely well, only losing 9.3 percent over five years, ranking it as the best vehicle in terms of lowest depreciation rate. It’s followed by the Porsche 718 Cayman (17.6 percent), the Toyota Tacoma (20.4 percent), Jeep Wrangler/Wrangler Unlimited (20.8 percent) and Honda Civic (21.5 percent).
The study found that vehicles tend hold their value better in 2023 than they did in 2019, thanks to reduced vehicle production as a result of the pandemic. Average five-year depreciation across the board is 38.8 percent, compared to 50 percent recorded in 2019.
It’s worth noting that the 2024 Cadillac XT5 will likely be the final model year for the nameplate before the luxury crossover is discontinued in North America, with the model indirectly replaced by the all-electric Cadillac Lyriq.
