Depreciation Insights
When considering the Toyota iQ depreciation curve, buyers should note that this model is renowned for holding value relative to many micro‑cars. Typical depreciation rates for the 2012‑model are:
- First year after purchase: 12–15% of its showroom value.
- By year three: a total loss of roughly 35–40%.
- At five years: around 45–50% of original price.
These figures are based on average mileage (approximately 15 km annually) and balanced maintenance. The 0.8‑liter engine’s low operating cost and robust build reduce the risk of major repairs, which often drive down depreciation in micro‑cars. Compared with other small city cars, the iQ’s depreciation is typically 3–6% slower, thanks partly to Toyota’s strong brand equity and the model’s reputation for reliability.
