Depreciation %
Car depreciation in India typically follows non-linear pattern: 20-30% depreciation in year 1, 15-20% in year 2, and 10-15% annually thereafter, resulting in 50-60% value retention after 5 years. Depreciation factors include: vehicle age, mileage (faster depreciation above 150,000 km), condition, brand reputation, and market demand. Luxury segment depreciates faster (60-70% value loss in 5 years) than mass-market segments (40-50% loss). Fuel type also matters: electric vehicles depreciate slower due to lower operating costs; SUVs depreciate faster due to high initial cost. Understanding depreciation helps calculate vehicle resale value, compare car ownership costs over time, and make informed purchase decisions between new and pre-owned vehicles.
