Opportunity In The Market: Unrelenting Devaluation Turns Top-of-the-Line SUVs Into Excellent Cost-Benefit Options, According To Carros.com.
The analysis from Carros.com identified a list of most-devalued SUVs that, despite maintaining a high level of comfort, technology, and performance, have seen their FIPE table prices plummet in recent years. Below, we will detail seven models that offer a surprising cost-benefit in the used car market compared to their main competitors, answering crucial questions about how much they have lost, why this happened, and if it’s worth acquiring them.
The used car market is notorious for its relentlessness, especially when it comes to devaluation. Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs) that enter dealerships with luxury prices often lose value drastically in just one or two years, turning into true bargains in the semi-new segment. This sharp decline, often driven by factors such as fierce competition or the launch of new generations, can be daunting for those buying new, but it opens up a golden opportunity for those seeking a more complete and robust vehicle at a significantly lower cost.
Jeep Commander 1.3t (2022): The 7-Seater SUV That Lost More Than R$ 40 Thousand
When Jeep launched the Commander, the proposal for a seven-seater SUV based on the Compass platform and equipped with the 1.3 turbo T270 engine (185 hp with ethanol) generated controversy. Many expected a more powerful engine, but the brand focused on sophistication, space, and top-tier status. The Commander delivers on this, especially in the Overland T270 version, which features an imposing appearance, 19-inch wheels, Full LED headlights, and a refined interior with brown leather, a covered dashboard, a floating multimedia system, and a Harman Kardon sound system.

Less than a Tera TSI, up to 710 km of range and charging in 9 minutes: the new BYD Song Ultra expands the Chinese brand’s bet on increasingly faster, more technological, and competitively priced electric SUVs.
-
With a 1.0 engine producing 75 hp and costing less than R$ 70,000, Fiat’s car returns to the podium as the cheapest in the country; a temporary promotion for the 2026 Like version reduces the price of the Fiat Mobi.
-
With a mild hybrid system of 48 V, 176 hp and a price of R$ 175,990 in the Sahara version, the new Jeep Renegade changes mostly on the inside, improves slightly in fuel consumption, and remains almost the same car.
-
With a 293.5 cm³ engine and a range of up to 400 km with a 14.1-liter tank, the Honda CB 300F Twister 2026 has up to 24.7 hp, an initial price of R$ 25,150, and already exceeds R$ 29,000 in the Fipe Table.
The Commander’s mechanical setup, with its 1.3 turbo and six-speed automatic transmission, provides reasonable performance (0 to 100 km/h in under 11 seconds) for a car nearly 5 meters long and weighing over 1,700 kg, with fuel consumption on the road of 7.9 km/l (ethanol) and 11.5 km/l (gasoline). What truly surprises, according to Carros.com, is its devaluation: the 2022 model in this top version lost over R$ 40,000 since launch. Today, it is possible to find a used Commander Overland in the price range of R$ 160,000 to R$ 170,000, which, for an SUV with so much technological package, makes it an excellent cost-benefit option for those seeking space.
Ford Territory Titanium (2021): The Chinese With Acute Decline
Ford surprised the Brazilian market with the launch of the Territory, a medium SUV imported from China, after halting its domestic production. The 2021 Titanium version arrived focused on sophistication, connectivity, and good internal space, with modern design, panoramic sunroof, and a refined interior finish, akin to the “basic recipe for Chinese cars.”
Under the hood, the Territory uses the 1.5 GTDI EcoBoost turbo gasoline engine, generating 150 horsepower and paired with a CVT that simulates eight gears. Despite its appearance, the performance is merely “okay,” with 0 to 100 km/h in about 12 seconds, which may be considered a shortcoming for road use. In terms of consumption, it maintains an acceptable average (about 9 km/l in the city). In terms of value, this is one of the most devalued SUVs in the medium segment: the 2021 Territory model can be found in the used market for around R$ 120,000 to R$ 130,000, placing it in the price range of simpler compact SUVs, while offering a superior level of finish and equipment.
Hyundai Creta Ultimate 2.0 (2022): Devaluation of Almost R$ 20,000
The new generation of the Hyundai Creta, launched in 2021, caught attention for its design, considered bold and, to some, less appealing than its predecessor. However, the top-of-the-line Ultimate 2.0 version compensates with a robust technology and safety package. The SUV comes with a refined interior finish for the category, leather seats, a digital dashboard, a 10-inch multimedia system, a panoramic sunroof, and the Smart Sense safety package, which includes lane-keeping assist and adaptive cruise control.
The 2.0 naturally aspirated engine (167 hp with ethanol) and the conventional six-speed automatic transmission guarantee good performance (0 to 100 km/h in 9 seconds). The fuel consumption is considered economical, with urban averages of 7.7 km/l (ethanol) and 11 km/l (gasoline). According to Carros.com, the Creta Ultimate 2022 lost almost R$ 20,000 in FIPE table value since launch. Today, a used model of this version can be purchased for approximately R$ 130,000, configuring it as one of the best options for compact-medium SUVs in the semi-new market.
BYD Tan EV 4×4 (2022): Absurd Devaluation In The Luxury Electric
The BYD Tan EV 4×4, launched in 2022, arrived in Brazil with an ambitious proposal to be a large electric SUV with seven seats. The Chinese brand spared no expense to impress: it features two electric motors, delivering a total of 517 horsepower and 69.3 kgfm of torque, resulting in a 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.6 seconds. The Blade battery, with 108.8 kWh, offers a range of up to 437 km (WLTP cycle) and fast charging.
Inside, the luxury is evident, featuring a 15.6-inch rotating multimedia screen, a premium sound system, and front seats with heating, ventilation, and massage features. However, the pioneering nature in the luxury electric segment and the high launch price culminated in an absurd devaluation of over R$ 70,000 for the 2022 Tan EV 4×4. According to Carros.com, this model is now found in the price range of R$ 280,000 to R$ 300,000 in the used market. Although still a high price, the significant discount represents an opportunity to enter the world of high-performance electric SUVs.
Toyota Corolla Cross XRX Hybrid (2022): Cost-Benefit In Efficiency
The Corolla Cross XRX Hybrid 2022 was Toyota’s bet to combine the durability of the Corolla Sedan with the appeal of an SUV. Although it has been criticized for being, in some aspects, “inferior” to the sedan and more expensive at launch, its hybrid version stands out for its efficiency. The setup combines the 1.8 combustion engine (101 hp) with an electric motor (72 hp), totaling 122 combined horsepower.
The undeniable strong point of this model is its consumption: up to 18 km/l in the city and more than 15 km/l on the highway. The interior finish is sober, with a 7-inch digital panel and an 8-inch multimedia system. The devaluation of the Corolla Cross XRX Hybrid 2022 reaches almost R$ 20,000 since its launch. In the used market, it can be found for around R$ 140,000 to R$ 150,000, significantly enhancing its cost-benefit for drivers looking for an economic and reliable SUV.
Mitsubishi Pajero Sport HPE (2020): The Affordable Robust Off-road
For those who value off-road robustness and the ability to tackle trails without sacrificing urban comfort, the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport HPE 2020 is a wise choice that is highly devalued. Considered a direct rival to the SW4, the Pajero Sport commands respect with its design and offers a refined interior with leather seats and dual-zone air conditioning. The highlight is its capacity for seven occupants and a generous trunk (502 L with the last row folded).
The 2.4 turbo diesel MIVEC engine (190 hp and 43.9 kgfm of torque), paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and the Super Select 4WD-II traction system, ensures excellent performance off-road and reasonable acceleration for its size (0 to 100 km/h in 10.5 seconds). According to Carros.com, the Pajero Sport HPE 2020 suffered a devaluation of almost R$ 40,000 in five years. Its price today is in the range of R$ 200,000 to R$ 220,000 in the used market, offering a diesel SUV with 7 seats and high off-road capability for a much more competitive price.
The devaluation of a vehicle, although a setback for the first owner, reveals an excellent opportunity window for the semi-new consumer, especially in the competitive SUV segment. Models such as those highlighted by Carros.com prove that it is possible to combine comfort, technology, and superior performance at a much more affordable price than their brand-new counterparts or more overvalued competitors.
