Genesis’s first SUV, the 2021 GV80, has defied typical depreciation forecasts after five years on the used market.
Industry tools like iSeeCars and CarEdge had projected the GV80 would lose roughly 48.5% to 49.8% of its original sticker price by now.
In reality, clean-condition examples with 60,000–70,000 miles are trading between $31,000 and $36,000, depending on trim and powertrain, translating to a depreciation rate of about 34% to 48%. That’s far better than the gloomy estimates and even beats some rivals.

The base rear-wheel-drive 2.5T model, which launched at $49,925, now sits around $31,000–$33,000 (34%–38% loss).

Mid-range 3.5T V6 models with standard all-wheel drive started at $60,175 and are selling for $34,000–$35,000 (42.5%–43.5% loss).
The top-spec 3.5T Advanced trim, originally priced at $65,375, is changing hands for $34,000–$36,000 (45%–48% loss).
The GV80’s resilience contrasts sharply with the 2021 Lexus RX 350, which shows a real-world depreciation of 22.3%–28.6% on used listings, and the 2021 Audi Q7, which has dropped 52%–55.4% in the same period.

The GV80’s slower depreciation may reflect its limited availability—only about 200 units are listed on Autotrader, roughly half the number of 2021 RXs available—amid pandemic-era supply constraints and competitors’ redesign cycles.
While Genesis’s overall reliability is rated as mediocre, the GV80’s scarcity and positioning have kept its used prices firmer than expected.
