Depreciation Insight: How the Valuation Evolves Over Time The Kia Carnival depreciation curve follows a classic pattern for large minivans: the steepest drop occurs in the first year, then it gradually tapers. - **First year:** Typically loses 15‑20 % of its value. - **First 3 years:** Total depreciation often falls in the 30‑40 % range. - **After 4–5 years:** The decline slows to about 10‑15 % per year, largely because the vehicle retains its core functionality and demand for spacious, affordable transportation remains steady. When estimating the used Kia Carnival price, it is advisable to factor in mileage, maintenance records and regional supply curves. For instance, a well‑maintained 2006 model with 80,000 miles could still hold around 45‑55 % of its original price after five years, whereas higher mileage units might decline to 35‑45 % in the same timeframe.
