The premium sedan typically loses about 15–20% of its value in the first year—especially if the car has been driven consistently. After the first year, the attrition slows to roughly 10–12% per year for the next three to four years. Diesel models generally retain a slightly higher resale value compared to petrol variants, due to a demand for lower-emission diesel powertrains in certain markets.
