Corvette depreciation rates compared to Lexus LC and Audi R8

According to iSeeCars estimates, the traditional gasoline-powered Corvette coupe depreciates by about 26% over five years. Meanwhile, the hybrid version is projected to lose around 28% of its value in the same timeframe.

For convertible models, the numbers are higher. Hybrid and non-hybrid Chevrolet Corvette convertibles drop by 36% and 33%, respectively, after five years of use.

When compared to rivals in its segment, the Corvette holds up well. The Lexus LC, for instance, sheds roughly 37% of its original value over the same period, showing noticeably worse value retention.

In contrast, the Audi R8 stands out with minimal depreciation. Despite its steep starting price of $145,895, it loses just 16% over five years. This reflects the model's strong appeal among collectors and premium sports car enthusiasts.
