As is known, new car depreciates immediately by about 10% as soon as it leaves the dealership, and continues to depreciate with every kilometer traveled. At the same time, the rate of depreciation of the car largely depends on the dynamics of prices in the new car market. According to the CEO of GiPA Russia marketing agency Alexander Gruzdev, usually the most big loss occurs in the first year of owning a car, which is explained precisely by the loss of the “new car” status. Over the next few years, the cost reduction is slow, but after the end of the warranty, the car can fall sharply in price. An important role is played by the presentation of the car, as well as the number of accidents in which it has been and the degree of damage received in them.
“With age, any car becomes cheaper, but each car loses its price in different ways,” says Alexander Gruzdev. “Many different factors play a role here, including the image of the brand in terms of the reliability of its cars, the class to which the car belongs, its popularity in the market, the cost of maintenance and much more.”
According to a recent PwC study, B-class and compact crossovers lose value slower cars other classes - an average of less than 25% over three years. And three-year-old business class cars depreciate the most and full size SUVs over 3 million rubles - by 38% and 47% respectively.
“Traditionally, the more expensive and higher the class of a car, the lower its residual value, but there are exceptions to all rules,” says Denis Eremenko, director of PodborAvto. - For example, many Toyota models, Mitsubishi, Suzuki, even at the age of three years, can be sold almost at their original price, due to the great popularity in the secondary market and the constant increase in prices for new cars of these models. If new cars of some running models are not available from dealers, then a similar one-year-old car can cost almost like new, adds Aleksey Barinov, director of the Blue Fish used car sales division of Rolf Group.
Profitable capital investment
Analysts of "AUTOSTAT" made a rating of the most liquid models on automotive market our country. Comparing the cost of a new car in 2011 and the price when it was sold at the end of last year, the experts calculated the indices residual value models of more than 40 brands cars presented in various segments of the Russian car market.

In the sub segment compact cars loses the least Chevrolet price Spark - for three years of operation, this model retains 79.2% of the original cost. Among B-class cars best indicator at Renault hatchback Sandero - 90.9%. In the golf class, the leader in terms of residual value preservation is Toyota Corolla(82.9%), and in the business class car market - Volkswagen Passat (82,3%).
“The main factor that determines the residual value of a car is the quality of the product. Exactly quality car, which meets the requirements of increased safety and comfort, enjoys the trust of the client, - the Volkswagen press service notes. “In addition, the model’s liquidity is affected by the manufacturability of the product, as well as the variety of options offered, allowing each client to easily find the right option.”
It is curious that the highest percentage of the original cost is retained by foreign cars localized in Russia - Renault Sandero Volkswagen Polo sedan And Hyundai Solaris. The high liquidity of its Sandero hatchback in Renault, in particular, is explained by the adaptation of the model to climatic and road conditions operation in Russia, the reliability and durability of the car, known for its heavy-duty suspension and high ground clearance, as well as the availability of spare parts and maintenance.
As for crossovers and SUVs, which are now the most popular among Russians, the leader among compact SUVs is domestic Lada 4x4 - at the age of three, this model saves 85.2% of its first starting price. Recognized as the most liquid C-class crossover Kia Sportage(79.7%), among models mid-size SUVs is in the lead Toyota Highlander(83.9%), and in the E-SUV segment - Volkswagen Touareg (81,4%).
“The high liquidity of Lada 4x4 is due to the lack of competition not only in the primary, but also in the secondary market (Chevrolet Niva is more expensive, and UAZ is a car of a slightly different class), relatively low production volume, good maintainability and survivability of the design,” the press AvtoVAZ center. - In addition, it is necessary to take into account the classical Lada style 4x4 - the design loved by millions is carefully preserved by AVTOVAZ, thanks to which new and used cars do not have cardinal differences in appearance, although some details are periodically updated (mirrors, lighting, interior trim, rims).”
It is worth noting that in the overall standings among the mass brands, Toyota became the leader of the rating, whose Corolla, Hilux and Highlander models are recognized as the best in terms of maintaining residual value in their segments. “Toyota vehicles maintain a higher residual value due to a high reputation Toyota brand as a manufacturer of reliable cars. Due to such consumer properties as quality, reliability and durability, for a customer, a used Toyota practically does not differ from a new car. This trend is reflected in the high residual value Toyota cars in the secondary market, which is confirmed by the study of "Avtostat", - state the press service of "Toyota Motor".
Premium class at an affordable price
In the premium car market, the Audi A4 (70.7%), BMW 5 Series (73.8%) and Lexus LS (70.2%) were the best in terms of residual value preservation in their segments. It has long been noticed that cars of a higher class lose in price faster than less expensive and prestigious cars.
“The residual value index of a car is determined more by the purchasing power of the market. Also of great importance is the fact that many premium segment models are sold with a high share of the cost of options in the total cost of a new car, while the calculation of the residual value coefficient is often carried out in relation to the cost of the model, either without options or with a small share of them in the price. car,” commented the press service of Audi, which, by the way, became the winner in the overall standings for the preservation of residual value among premium brands.
Among premium SUVs, the leaders in their segments are range rover Evoque (82.0%), Audi Q5 (79.8%) and Porsche Cayenne(75.3%). By the way, Jaguar Land Rover at the end of last year, conducted its own study on the residual value of cars, in which analysts, in particular, traced how the price changes every year Jaguar models and Land Rover under the age of three. For example, the same Range Rover Evoque is different high rate residual value in the first year (89.14%), a minimal decrease in the second (81.93%) and almost no fall in the third (79.05%). The exception to the rule was new Range Rover Sport, which shows not a decrease, but an increase in the residual value in the second year - from 88.85 to 89.32%. Experts attribute this to a large number of "premier" cars in the secondary market, which, in turn, undermines the prices of cars of the previous generation. But the completion of sales of the Defender SUV, as expected by the company, can significantly increase the residual value of this model in Russia.

Analysts from the project The right price"and the agency" Avtostat Info "analyzed the used car market and released a rating of the most liquid cars. What brands are the slowest to depreciate over the years? When choosing a used car, a prudent car owner will rely not only on Wishlist, but also think about how much it will fall in price a few years after its purchase. As a result of the study, several interesting facts. For example, it is more profitable to buy used Japanese cars than Korean ones, as they become cheaper more slowly, and it also turned out that Chinese cars are less popular than Russian ones.
Although cars are not wine, and they are supposed to become cheaper over the years, this clearly does not apply to three-year-olds - Toyota Highlander and Porsche Macan. They not only did not fall in price, but also became more expensive by 4 percent. The rest are not so lucky, and they still lose value.
The list of the most profitable models for buying in the Russian secondary market included Mazda 3, after 3 years it retains as much as 99.95 percent of its original value. "Silver" rating - for Toyota LC Prado, with its 99.66 percent of the cost. Third position again belongs to Mazda, but now the CX-5 model has retained 98.15 percent. VW Touareg, Toyota RAV 4 and Mazda 6 have an average residual value of 95 percent, slightly less Hyundai Santa Fe and Subaru Forester.
Premium cars have recently been in no hurry to become cheaper, which is not typical for them at all. For example, Mercedes GLA and the Porsche Cayenne have a residual value of 95 percent. Volvo XC70, XC60 and mercedes a-class- around 94 percent of the cost of new cars. BMW X5, BMW 3 GT and Audi Q3 will drop in price up to 93 percent of the initial price in 3 years. Among the premium segment captured by the "Europeans", Lexus GX was the most liquid Japanese car- he retained 87.5 percent.
The study found that Japanese (about 95 percent) and Korean (about 90 percent) cars lose value the slowest in the mass car segment. Interestingly, one of the top 20 liquid cars Russian car - Lada Largus, showing excellent result at 89.3 percent. The Chinese did not perform very well, even the UAZ turned out to be more liquid. On average, cars from the Middle Kingdom save about 70 percent of their cost over 3 years.
Therefore, if you want to lose as little money as possible over the years of owning a car, it is better to give preference to Japanese and Korean brands. When choosing a car in the premium segment, it is better to pay attention to the "Germans". It was they who settled at the top of the palm tree, leaving Asian brands at the bottom.
Experts also note that today's highly inflated prices for three-year-old cars will soon decline, as the foreign exchange market has ceased to be in a fever, and the situation is gradually calming down. Analysts believe that the normal residual value for a three-year-old car is in the region of 50-70 percent of the original price.
Let's talk about how the market has changed secondary cars 2018 compared to the 2017 market. A little more than six months have passed, but it is already possible to sum up the first results.
Market segment
2017: The B-class is invariably in the lead (about a third of all resold cars). Leaders - Focus and Solaris. The second place in sales and purchases is occupied by crossovers, SUVs. The rating is headed by CR-V. Closes the top three C-class, led by Toyota Corolla.
2018: Focus in body 2 noticeably broke away from Solaris. "Silver" is also in the CR-V. And the third place is still with Toyota, but already with Kamry.
Let's summarize. The class situation does not change. B-class remains the most affordable. The leaders among the models have changed a little, but the brands have remained the same.
Car age
Compared to 2017, the scales of car enthusiasts' preferences when choosing a used car have swung towards slightly younger cars. Let's visually show the age categories in descending order of popularity:
2017: Cars of 2007-2009 are popular - more than 40% of all cars sold. Demanded model - Toyota Corolla of 2008 of release. Next comes the 2012 F Focus. 3rd and also 4th place - Solaris different years release.
2018: 34% of all resold cars are between 6 and 10 years old. Leader - Focus 2012. In the next age category, the 2007 Corolla is in the lead. Less popular are the VAZ Priora and Grant. The four closes Corolla 2016 release.
Let's summarize. As we can see, in 2018, the age range of cars has become wider and motorists have become more willing to take older cars.
Price
For clarity, we place price ranges in descending order of popularity in 2017 and 2018:
- from 300 to 600 tr.
- 0.6 - 1 million rubles
- up to 300 tr.
- 1 - 1.5 million rubles
- more expensive than 1.5 million rubles
Price ranges have not changed, their popularity has not. Let's talk about the leaders of price categories.
2017: 36% of resold cars cost between 300-600 thousand rubles. Leader - Focus 2012 onwards with an average mileage of 88 thousand and a price of 510 thousand rubles.
The next leader is the 2013 Grant for 245 thousand rubles with a mileage of 73 thousand kilometers.
The fourth place belongs to Camry 2012 for 1.054 million rubles, with a mileage of 94 thousand km.
The top five is closed by the Land Cruiser 2008 with a mileage of 150 thousand km at a price of 1.85 million rubles.
2018: 35% of cars sold cost 300-600 thousand. Leader - Focus of the same year, but already at a price of 490 thousand rubles and with a mileage of 93 thousand km.
The third place belongs to Priora 2011 worth 230 thousand wooden ones, with a mileage of 109 thousand km.
next leader price category- also Camry, but 2012 at a price of 1.3 million rubles, with a mileage of 102 thousand.
Fifth place at Toyota Land Cruiser 2008 with mileage 160 thousand at a price of 1.8 million.
Let's summarize. We observe the constant interest of the buyer in the Foci of 2012 - the car is reliable, it runs back without serious breakdowns for a long time. Camry in the range from 600 thousand to 1 million is getting younger and adding in price. Among budget cars stable leadership VAZ models. Category more than a million rubles an interesting situation: in 2018 we see a Camry with the same year of manufacture, with increased mileage, as well as the price. Apparently, the demand for them is very good, since the price only grows with age. The leadership in the category over 1.5 million rubles is retained by Toyota Land Cruiser 2008, even the price with mileage has changed quite a bit.
Popular brands
For clarity, here are the TOP 10 brands of used cars in Russia in the middle of 2017 and 2018, according to Autostat:
We observe that the first five and the last two have not changed at all. Shuffled only the middle of the rating - american stamps, European and Asian.
2017: The Russian Lada has sold 558,000 cars across the country. The Russians also bought 228,000 used Toyotas and 109,000 Nissans. Slightly fewer cars were bought by Hyundai brand - almost 90 thousand units, as well as Chevrolet - 87.7 thousand copies. Despite the frenzied popularity of Focuses, Ford is only 6th in the ranking with 79.5 thousand resold cars.
2018: By the end of May 2018, the Russians bought 538,000 used Lads. Toyota was bought much less often - only 232 thousand cars found new owners. The indicator of the Nissan brand is 114 thousand units. Our compatriots also bought 100,000 Hyundai cars and 91.3 Chevrolets. Ford has already slipped to 7th place with 81,000 units.
Summary
We are seeing a steady increase in car resales - the figure has grown by almost 30,000 units. Moreover, all the leading brands were resold more often, except for AvtoVAZ. Russian brand, on the contrary, is losing popularity among Russians - our cars were bought this year by 20,000 less than in the same period last year. Korean Hyundai and KIA have increased by 11,000 units. Apparently, a new portion of used Solaris and Rio arrived in time. Other foreign brands show less growth. But despite the positive shifts in resale, foreign cars are still noticeably inferior to Russian models - the difference between the numbers of the first and second places in the rating is almost 100%.
Popular Models
The top 10 models of Russians also remained virtually unchanged:
2017: For the first 5 months of 2017, the Russian used "four" sold 60.5 thousand copies. 5 thousand less - "seven". Focus is next with an indicator of 50 thousand pieces. Also, the Russians bought 46.5 thousand "ten" and 40 thousand Prior. Corolla is only in sixth place, Solaris is in ninth. Rio closes the top ten.
2018: This year, the Russians have already resold 57.8 thousand VAZ-2114s. 6 thousand less - Focuses. Next location in the ranking of the VAZ-2107 with an indicator of almost 50 thousand units. Next, with a difference of 31 copies, are the VAZ-2110 and VAZ-2170. Again, the sixth place at the Corolla, Solaris rose to eighth.
Let's summarize. There is a decline in the resale of VAZ as a whole, less popular this year is the invariable leader of the rating - "fourteenth". The same trend is observed in the rest Russian models. But sales of foreign cars are growing! Small progress in Corolla and Focus, but Solaris and Rio surprises - for the year the figure increased by 7 thousand copies. Because in the ranking by models Russian auto industry wins only the number of models.
conclusions
The first half of 2018 brought some new products to the secondary car market. Our compatriots prefer proven brands and models, except that they take fresher ones. We can say with confidence that the trend will continue until the end of the year. The level of prosperity is growing very slowly, and there are fewer people who want to take credit obligations. Therefore, in general, it seems that the car market practically does not change. But the cars will be 3 years old, and again thousands of car owners will rush to sell them. The resource has not yet been developed, serious breakdowns are often just ahead.

Analytical agency "Autostat" conducted another study of the liquidity of the models presented on the Russian market. According to its results, the experts chose the most profitable three-year-old cars for resale in 5 segments.
The study estimated the value of new cars in 2012 and their average resale price in 2015. The study included cars of more than 50 brands presented on the Russian market. The publication "Behind the Rulem" presents the results of the study with comments from experts and market participants.
Bulk brands
Subcompact models:
1. Kia Picanto(retained 80.99% of its value in 3 years)
2. Daewoo Matiz (69,85%)
3. Lifan Smily
Serious break Kia Picanto from closest competitors is explained by reduced supply in the segment of subcompact models on the Russian market. The car assembled in Korea has a 5-year warranty and practically has no competitors in its class in terms of the degree of equipment. In addition, the model is supplied to Russia in limited quantities, which explains its high value in the secondary market.
Compact models:
1. Lada Granta (83,18%)
2. Renault Sandero (83.17%)
3. Hyundai Solaris (82%)
The top three in the segment of compact "state employees" in terms of residual value are almost on a par. The differences do not exceed the level of statistical error, especially considering the spread in the cost of configurations.
According to dealers Lada, the Granta model took first place due to the relatively low cost of maintenance, affordable prices for CASCO insurance and wide choice configurations on the "secondary".
Golf class models:
1. Volkswagen Golf (84, 72%)
2. Citroen DS4 (80.11%)
3. Toyota Corolla (79%)
Ranked 2015 year Toyota Corolla bore the title of the most liquid car class C. Experts associate the change in the leader with random price fluctuations in the market and a change in the number of configurations considered.
Business class:
1. Toyota Camry (85,62%)
2. Mazda 6 (80.93%)
3. Volkswagen Passat CC (79.69%)
Minivans:
1. Kia Soul (77,69%)
2. Kia Venga (72.61%)
3. Citroen C3 Picasso (69.87%)
Pickups:
1. Toyota Hilux (99,28%
)
2. Volkswagen Amarok (88,78%)
3.Mitsubishi L200 (80.74%)
A Japanese pickup truck loses an average of less than 1% of its value in three years. But experts still do not advise considering a car as a storehouse of money.
Mini crossovers:
1. Renault Duster (93,35%
)
2. Suzuki Jimny (82,74%)
3. Nissan Juke (79,7%)
The model did not get into the current Top-3 due to a decrease in the shortage of new models in car dealerships, which is twice as inferior to the Renault Duster warranty in terms of mileage and the specifics of using the model. As a rule, an SUV is used in difficult conditions and by the age of three he comes in the worst condition.
Compact crossovers:
1. Kia Sportage (81.22%)
2. Mitsubishi ASX (80,47%)
3. Mazda CX-5 (80.22%)
Korean, Japanese and domestic brands, as a rule, are in the lead in residual value due to the relatively low initial price (at new model) and the availability of its maintenance and operation.
Mid-size crossovers:
1. Toyota Land Cruiser Prado (80.02%)
2. Toyota Highlander (79.31%)
3. Mitsubishi Pajero Sport (74.95%)
Large crossovers:
1. Volkswagen Touareg (84.9%)
2. Toyota Land Cruiser 200 (82.35%)
3. Mitsubishi Pajero (79.61%)
Volkswagen Touareg
Photo: VolkswagenCurious what year average index preservation of the residual value of cars increased from 75 to 80 percent. But this is explained not by the fact that the models began to wear out and depreciate more slowly, but by the outpacing increase in prices in the secondary market. Automakers are trying to keep prices to maintain demand. At the same time, the depreciation of the ruble against the dollar and the euro was more significant than the rise in the price of new cars over the same period.
At the same time, the solvency of the population decreased and demand shifted towards the secondary market. And where demand grows, so do prices.
Experts expect new car prices to continue rising even if the ruble stabilizes to make up for the difference. Prices in the secondary market will also rise next, which will lead to a further increase in the average residual value. It is expected that it may exceed 90%.
But Autostat still does not recommend considering a car as an investment, since the residual value of the model does not take into account the cost of maintaining it. Moreover, the liquidity of a particular model fluctuates unpredictably and, in general, the change average price it is rather speculative.

Experts named the most liquid car models in Russia. To determine which cars lost the least in price over the past three years, they analyzed 42 brands and 383 models and named the leaders in each of the classes. For example, among small cars, the most liquid has become Skoda Fabia, Toyota Camry won in the business class segment, and premium SUV The Porsche Cayenne even went up in price. Gazeta.Ru got acquainted with complete list winning cars.
Against the backdrop of a protracted decline in sales of new cars and the rapid growth of the secondary car market, Avtostat-Info experts conducted a study in which they compared the cost of new cars with the prices of three-year-old cars. Based on these data, a rating of the most liquid car models on the Russian market was compiled. The results were divided into two groups: the first included “mass” models, and the second included premium ones. In total, experts studied 42 brands and 383 car models in the study.
most liquidity model Skoda Fabia has become among the small class cars - in three years this small car has retained more than 86% of its initial cost.
In the "golf class" the first line for the second year in a row is occupied by Volkswagen Golf with a score of 92%. In second place was also the model of the German manufacturer - Volkswagen Jetta, and in the third position is Kia Cerato.
In the middle class, the Mazda 6 is in the lead - three years later, the price of the car is more than 86% of the original. The second and third places were taken by two Volkswagen car- Passat CC (84.5%) and Passat (81.2%).
But in the business class segment, cars showed lower figures: the leader with a score of 81% was Toyota Camry, the second place went to the sedan Skoda Superb, which received a little more than 73%, and the third - Kia Optima- South Korean sedan retained about 70% of its residual value.
The best among minivans was Chevrolet Orlando- This model, according to the results of the study, received 85% of the cost. On the second and third lines with a lag of more than 10% are two cars of the American Ford— Galaxy and S-MAX. Volkswagen is once again the leader in the compact van category, with the Golf Plus taking the top spot with 85%, followed by Toyota Verso and Opel Zafira Tourer.
A separate rating was compiled for mass SUVs. Among the compact cars in this class with good results lead Honda CR-V- 91%, Mazda CX-5 - almost 90% and Suzuki SX4 - more than 88%. In the segment of station wagons, two Toyotas at once became the best, taking first and third places - Land Cruiser Prado and Land Cruiser 200. Mitsubishi is located between them in the ranking Pajero Sport.
Toyota Hilux was recognized as the best all-wheel drive pickup, which retained more than 94% of its original value. The top three also included Volkswagen Amarok and Mitsubishi L200.
Thus, Volkswagen became the absolute leader among all cars of the "mass" class, the models of this brand entered the top three in different categories seven times. And the most liquid of all cars was Toyota Hilux.
In the premium segment, the best in the "golf class" were two Mercedes-Benz - CLA-Class and A-Class, which took first and third places with liquidity indicators of 93 and 83%, respectively. The second place with a small margin from the third line went to the Volvo S40 Cross Country.
In the middle class of premium cars, Volvo S60 pulled out to the first positions - almost 88%, Lexus IS - 85% and BMW 3-Series - 78%. In the business class, the Swedish model also turned out to be the best. concern Volvo- XC70, which received more than 92%. Jaguar XF and Lexus GS are behind it with a significant margin.
Poor results showed representatives of the luxury class premium cars. Here, the highest score of 80.5% went to the Porsche Panamera, the second place was taken by the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, which received only 68%, and the third - by the Lexus LS, which scored 63%.
The best premium compact SUVs were the Audi Q3, Land Rover Evoque and Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class, with roughly the same scores of 83 to 85%. The leaders among universal premium SUVs were Mercedes-Benz GL-Class- 90%, as well as Lexus LX and Land Rover Range Rover, which gained about 80% of the initial cost.
The absolute leader among all cars of both classes was the Porsche Cayenne, the price of which has not decreased over three years, but, on the contrary, has increased - the liquidity of this model is 101.4%. In addition to him, in the list of the best medium and large SUVs turned out to be Lexus RX and Volvo XC60.
According to CEO PodborAvto company Denis Eremenko, the increase in sales of used cars in Russia is due to the fact that prices for new cars are now quite high, in connection with this, buyers “switch” to secondary market and come to a compromise.
“People might want to buy a new car, but the price is so high that only a used car can afford it. And many do not want to switch to cars of a lower class, ”Yeremenko says to Gazeta.Ru.
At the same time, the expert believes that given statistics strongly tied to the European. According to him, in the Russian market mass machines completely different brands of cars are liquid.
“If we look at the report of European companies for 2016, we will see that the best-selling brand in Europe was Volkswagen. In our country, according to statistics, the best-selling cars are Kia, Hyundai and Lada. Accordingly, on the secondary market, these brands should be the most liquid, ”says Eremenko.
As for such a high liquidity of the Porsche Cayenne, according to the expert, it is primarily due to the depreciation of the ruble and the general rise in the price of premium cars.
“Given that new car was bought before the fall of the ruble, then in principle this is quite possible. On average, premium cars have risen in price by 30% since 2014. It turns out that over the three years of operation, the car could lose these 30%, but due to the rise in price, the price was compensated. However, this is a unique situation that does not characterize the car as liquid or illiquid,” concluded Eremenko.
Recall that at the end of 2016, 11% fewer new cars were sold in Russia compared to 2015.
According to the Association of European Businesses (AEB), about 1.42 million new cars were sold in 2016, of which 146,000 were sold in December.
