Kia Optima
This model has a lot of pros and cons. On the one hand, the Kia Optima has a spacious cabin, a clean-cut design, a good engine, and upgradable features. On the other hand, its fuel efficiency rating is not great and its depreciation rate is at 35% in just one year. New car buyers might want to opt for a similar model from Honda or Ford for a value-retaining car.
Kia Cadenza
Another top contender on our list is the Kia Cadenza. It’s a great deal to buy used since it drops 38% in value. For the same reason, it’s difficult to justify buying it brand new. This isn’t the only Kia model on our list, as their large pseudo-luxury sedan also has a way to go before it will appeal to new car buyers.
