As an example, this week’s Black Book Market Insights report shows Full-Size Cars and Upper Midsize Cars also showing larger-than-average depreciation on the week.
“Depreciation rate on car segments picked up a little. While trucks continued to perform better, a couple of previously strong segments experienced a market correction,” said Anil Goyal, VP of Automotive Valuation and Analytics.

Interestingly, segments across different sizes i.e., Full-Size Car, Upper Mid-Size Car and Compact Car dropped in value by more than 0.75 percent. Sporty cars and luxury cars performed relatively better.
