Luxury cars and SUVs are notorious for having resale values ​​that drop faster than lead balloons. But there are exceptions to this rule. These five luxury SUVs should hold their value much more than other luxury SUVs. It might be their options, their speed, their off-road prowess or just their quality, but these luxury SUVs can do it all and will save you a lot when it comes time to sell it.

Maintaining your SUV and keeping it clean will maintain its value

Keep it in good condition. The resale value of your luxury SUV will remain high if you take care of it. It is obvious. No one wants to buy a smelly (especially smoky) and dirty SUV with torn seats and stained carpet. Plus, low mileage and the right option packages will help your SUV retain its value. Maintaining your SUV is also essential. Make sure you get the oil changed on time, for example, and keep records.

Assuming you’ve maintained your SUV and kept it clean, these are the five luxury SUVs that will best hold their value according to Kelley’s Blue Book.

1: The GMC Yukon

The GMC Yukon Denali can compete with Cadillacs, but the base Yukon can still be ordered as a luxury SUV. It’s pretty much the same SUV as the Chevy Tahoe, but dressed up inside and out. It offers seating for seven or eight people and clever features like a sliding console. The Yukon is based on the GMC Sierra, which means it can tow up to 8,300 pounds and can be ordered with a 420-hp V8 or even a 3-liter turbo diesel. But the Yukon ditches the truck’s solid rear axle and adds a comfortable independent rear suspension. Overall, the Yukon is a big, muscular, full-size SUV that holds its value, up to 47.2 percent according to KBB.

2: The Lexus LX600

In other parts of the world, the Lexus LX is called Toyota Land Cruiser. The Land Cruiser is one of the most capable SUVs (too bad it’s no longer imported to the United States), and in Lexus trim, it’s one of the most luxurious. For several years, Consumer Reports has claimed that the LX is one of the most satisfying luxury SUVs out there, and that’s one of the reasons KBB says it will retain up to 45.2 percent of its value. For 2022, Lexus has updated the LX with a giant-tooth grille, added a powerful twin-turbo V6, and added plenty more options that can bring the price of a fully loaded LX to nearly $130,000.

3: The Lincoln Airman

The Lincoln Aviator was all-new for 2020 and quickly earned praise for its smooth twin-turbo V6 and a hybrid powertrain. It’s very similar to the Navigator, but since it’s a bit smaller midsize SUV, it’s just easier to park. But with up to 494 horsepower available in some versions, the Aviator can easily run with Porsches and BMWs. But rather than being tuned for race track performance, it’s tuned for road trips and highway comfort, and that may be why it retains up to 41.5% of its value in five years and not the Porsches. For 2022, the Aviator has new appearance packages and driver aids, like Ford’s latest Co-Pilot 360.

4: The Mercedes-Benz GLB

The GLB isn’t the most popular Mercedes-Benz SUV, it’s the GLC, but don’t count the GLB. It’s slightly larger than a GLC and can carry up to seven passengers, and it has a few more cubic feet of cargo capacity. The GLB isn’t as quick as a GLC, but its smaller 2-liter turbocharged engine achieves 31 mpg on the highway. It’s also cheaper than the GLC. The GLB offers a lot of value for a base price of around $40,000, and that may be why it should retain up to 41.1% of its value five years from now.

5: Range Rover Velar

The Range Rover is a bit of a surprise on this list. Most Rovers aren’t known for holding their value long term, but the Velar is different. It is also another type of Rover. The Velar is certainly stylish, and its sleek, clean lines will turn heads. It even has off-road capabilities that other luxury class SUVs don’t have. That’s expensive, considering it’s a small five-passenger SUV with an overwhelmed 247-horsepower four-cylinder. But, in some trims, you can order the 395-hp supercharged turbo inline-six that makes this SUV a hotrod. The Velar’s sleek exterior, powerful optional engine and off-road chops are some of the reasons it’s expected to retain up to 36% of its value.
