What is the average Volkswagen depreciation rate?
I’m thinking about selling my Volkswagen, and it’s only a few years old so I’m hoping it still has a lot of value. How fast do Volkswagen vehicles usually depreciate?

You’re in luck—most new Volkswagen models have a slower depreciation rate than average vehicles. A Volkswagen retains the most value after three years, and it drops the most after four years.
Here’s a look at the average rate of depreciation for Volkswagen models:
Model year | Depreciation rate | Residual value |
|---|---|---|
2022 | 0.0% | 100% |
2021 | 7.2% | 92.8% |
2020 | 11.7% | 88.3% |
2019 | 13.0% | 87.0% |
2018 | 14.5% | 85.5% |
2017 | 22.5% | 77.5% |
2016 | 29.5% | 70.5% |
2015 | 35.6% | 64.4% |
Keep in mind that these are just averages—your
