The Resale Value
New Car Depreciation

New car depreciation calculator: what your new car will be worth.

Car depreciation is the loss in value your new car takes on over time. On average, a new car in India loses 15% of its value the day it leaves the showroom and 45 to 55% of its value by year 5. Some models hold value far better than others. See the data below.
