Kia Optima
There are a lot of pros and cons to this model. The Kia Optima, on the one hand, has a spacious cabin, a clean-cut design, a good engine, and modern features. On the other hand, its fuel efficiency rating is not good, and in just one year, its depreciation rate is at 35 percent. New car buyers may want to opt for a similar model from Honda or Ford for a value-retaining car.
Kia Cadenza
The Kia Cadenza is another top contender on our list. Buying used is a great deal since it drops 38 percent in value. It’s hard to justify buying it brand new for the same reason. This is not the only Kia model on our list, as there is also a way to go for their large pseudo-luxury sedan before it appeals to new car buyers.
