Used-car data shows Toyota (Vios, Corolla Cross, Fortuner) and some Honda models hold value best — losing about 8–12% a year. Korean cars (Hyundai, Kia) depreciate a bit faster, while Chinese brands currently lose value quicker on market sentiment.
VinFast is a special case: its buy-back programme creates a price floor for certain models, limiting the maximum loss in the first three years.
Depreciation is the biggest piece of TCO for most buyers — check your car's expected resale value before you commit.
