What is the resale value of the Tiguan?
2 Answers
Volkswagen Tiguan's resale value over the past three years is only 57.35%. Definition of automobile resale value: It refers to the ratio of the selling price of a vehicle model after a period of use to its original purchase price. Resale value mainly depends on: Multiple factors such as the vehicle's performance, price fluctuation range, spare parts prices, and maintenance convenience, which essentially reflect the comprehensive level trend of the vehicle. Advantages of models with high resale value: Their prices in the second-hand market are less affected by price reductions, reducing the risk of economic losses due to product depreciation for some car owners.
I've owned my Tiguan for three years, and it can still fetch about 50% of its original price in the used car market, which is quite good in terms of value retention. SUVs have always been popular, especially models like the Tiguan with spacious interiors and strong practicality, making them ideal for family use. Living in the city where demand is high helps keep the car's value stable, though I've heard it's slightly lower in more remote areas. The key is proper maintenance—I stick to regular servicing, change the oil every 5,000 kilometers, and frequently check the tires and brake system. With zero accident records, these factors significantly boost its resale value. If the car's condition is poor, such as having over 100,000 kilometers on the odometer or accident history, the value retention could drop to 30-40%. The economic environment also plays a role; for instance, even with significant fuel price fluctuations, SUV demand remains strong, which supports their prices. Overall, thanks to Volkswagen's reliable brand reputation and the Tiguan's practicality, it holds its value better than average in its segment.
