No.16, the Buick enclave with about a 46% devaluation within the first 3 years. The Buick enclave drops in value like a rock with wheels.
No.15 the Cadillac SRX. Like the Buick enclave the SRX did enjoy the kind of stronger man luxury crossovers usually. After three years this Kelly loses about 47% of its original value.
No.14 the Audi A3. This is the most affordable Audi car in the market and it loses about 47% of its original value after 3-years.
No.13 the Volkswagen Jetta. You may want to go for a certified used model instead of one fresh off the assembly line. This car loses around 48% of its value within the first 3 years.
