Which cars depreciated the most?

First of all, it is important to understand that KBB, a consultancy specializing in the analysis of prices for new and used vehicles, released a survey of 94 models from 19 categories. Through it, it is possible to find a list of the cars that lost most value in the market after one year of use.

For this, the company collected a series of data from transactions where former owners sold their vehicles to shopkeepers. In this case, a comparison was made between the quotes of brand new cars collected in January 2021 and the price at which they were resold in 2022.
