However, depreciation among the rest of the vehicles in the car segment mostly stayed at similar levels or decreased. Overall, car segment car values decreased by 0.52%, compared to 0.60% the week before.
Truck values also saw a slight improvement, but essentially remained flat. Overall truck segment values decreased by 0.36%, compared to 0.40% the week before.
Small pickups led the pack in terms of retention; values for the segment were 0.59% higher than they were the week before. Meanwhile subcompact crossovers realized the highest fall in average wholesale value, seeing values decrease by 0.98% compared to the week before.
