Depreciation — What You Need to Expect

The Suzuki Jimny depreciation curve follows typical small‑car patterns:

• First year: The Jimny generally loses 15‑20% of its original value once you hand it out of the factory, largely due to the rapid drop in new‑car appeal.
• After two years: Approximately 30–35% of the original price
• Three to five years: Depreciation stabilizes at about 45–50%, leaving a manageable price for upgrades or trade‑ins.
