Car reviewer Edmunds praises the Subaru Crosstrek for its roomy interior, although that spaciousness doesn’t seem to extend to its compact cargo space.

5-year resale value: 64.4%

Motortrend says the Toyota 4Runner offers great value for an SUV. However, the lack of updates since 2010 may turn off some potential buyers.

5-year resale value: 65.3%

Since its design overhaul in 2020, the Corvette has continued to impress. It even received a few additional tech improvements in 2024.

But like other high-end sports cars, the Corvette can be difficult to get into and out of. It also has some issues with rear visibility.

4. Ford Bronco

5-year resale value: 65.4%

Another iconic car on this list is the Ford Bronco, which has returned to the market with updated styling based on the original design.

However, Car and Driver warns against expecting a luxurious feeling on the inside — it labels the interior as “more farmhand than fancy.”

2. Tesla Model X (tie)

5-year resale value: 66%

The Model X will definitely turn heads with its falcon-wing doors and panoramic windshield.

But those could also be downsides. Edmunds notes that the doors might be temperamental, and the windshield lets in a lot of heat.

2. Toyota Tacoma (tie)

5-year resale value: 66%

The Tacoma pickup truck is a great value compared to other pickups, according to Motortrend.

However, the publication notes that the interior is far from roomy.

5-year resale value: 73.3%

Edmunds says the full-size Tundra pickup truck has great power and easy-to-use controls.

However, it could strain tight budgets at the pump as the model doesn’t offer great fuel economy.

Bottom line

When shopping for a new car, it’s a good idea to consider how much you'll pocket if you sell the vehicle.

Remember that vehicles depreciate, making it difficult to keep cash money in your wallet . So, factor in how well a vehicle will likely hold its value before buying it.
