Hybrid Resale Value Trends

Hybrid resale value in the U.S. has often been strong—fuel economy and reliability support demand. Here's how hybrid resale trends compare to gas and EV and what to expect when buying or selling.

TL;DR Many hybrids (e.g., Toyota Prius, RAV4 Hybrid) hold value well—often 50–55%+ retained after 5 years. Compare to gas and EV using depreciation and total cost of ownership. Use autopremo.com and total cost.

Why Hybrids Often Hold Value Well

• Fuel economy — buyers want efficiency; hybrids deliver. That supports demand and resale.
• Reliability — Toyota and Honda hybrids have strong reliability ratings; that supports resale.
• Less battery concern than EVs — hybrids don't rely on a large battery for all propulsion; battery concern is often lower than for full EVs. So used hybrid value can hold better than some EVs.
