7 SUVs That Are Now WORTHLESS in 2026 - This is Why!

Описание: These seven luxury SUVs lose between 60% and 72% of their value in just five years, making them some of the worst financial decisions you can make when buying new. We're breaking down exactly which models are hemorrhaging fifty to seventy thousand dollars in depreciation and why it's happening.

This investigation reveals the Jaguar I-PACE leading the pack with a catastrophic 72.2% depreciation rate, losing approximately $52,000 over five years. The Maserati Levante follows close behind at 64-74% depreciation, compounded by a brand crisis that saw sales collapse by over 44% in 2024. You'll discover how Tesla's aggressive pricing strategy devastated Model X resale values, why the Infiniti QX80's aging design accelerated its value loss, and how Land Rover's reliability reputation drives the Range Rover and Discovery into depreciation territory exceeding $70,000.

We examine the interconnected factors driving these losses: reliability perception among used buyers, maintenance costs that can exceed $17,000 over ten years for some brands, and rapid technology obsolescence in electric vehicles. For new buyers, this serves as a cautionary tale about premium SUV ownership costs. For used-car shoppers, we explain how these same vehicles represent potential bargains if you understand the total cost of ownership beyond purchase price.

Each vehicle's depreciation is backed by data from iSeeCars, Kelley Blue Book, CarEdge, and industry analysts, with specific dollar amounts and percentage comparisons to segment averages.
