From Premium Models to Technological Chinese Cars, Meet the Vehicles That Promised Status and Turned Into Losses, With Devaluations That Can Exceed R$ 70,000 in Under Two Years.
Would you dare to lose more than R$ 70,000 in less than two years? That’s exactly what’s happening to SUV owners who, until recently, were seen as good deals, but today are plummeting in the FIPE table. These are models that promised technology, comfort, and status but delivered a combination of steep depreciation, expensive maintenance, and difficulty in resale.
We analyzed the market and listed the 12 Devalued SUVs in 2025 that have become true financial traps. Before closing a deal, check if your dream car is on this list.
1. BYD Song Plus (2023)
The Song Plus arrived as a hybrid revolution, but the used car market still hasn’t embraced the idea. Depreciation can exceed R$ 74,000 in just over a year. Distrust about battery durability, replacement costs, and the still limited charging infrastructure in Brazil make its resale value plummet.

The 2026 electric Vitara arrives in Brazil and proves that Suzuki is not leaving: 4×4 traction, 184 hp, 61 kWh LFP battery, 293 km range, R$ 259,000, and a trunk capacity of 224 L.
-
Hyundai has unveiled the Boulder, a square SUV with a body-on-frame design, 37-inch mud tires, and carriage-style doors that seems to be made to take on the Ford Bronco and the Scout Traveller in the United States.
-
The Toyota Hilux is R$ 75.5 thousand cheaper and bets on the 2.8 turbodiesel engine with up to 204 hp and 50.9 kgfm to catch up with the VW Saveiro, which leads with 4,472 sales.
-
The new Renault Koleos has a screen exclusively for the passenger that is invisible to the driver, heated rear seats, and 29 assistance systems, but its Chinese competitors cost R$ 40,000 less and deliver more power.
2. BMW X2 (2022)
Not every premium brand is immune. The X2, with its “SUV coupe” proposal, didn’t please everyone. The tight interior space and high maintenance costs for a car in its category led to a loss of nearly R$ 90,000 in market value in just two years.
3. Mitsubishi Outlander (2022)
Sold in Brazil with an already old design compared to the global market, the 2022 Outlander suffered one of the steepest drops. The depreciation exceeds R$ 79,000. The 2.0 aspirated engine, considered weak for the car’s size, and the outdated design made it an unattractive option in the used car market.
4. Jeep Compass Trailhawk Diesel (2023)
The darling of medium SUVs also has its black sheep. The Trailhawk version, with a diesel engine, lost more than R$ 72,000 in less than two years. The high maintenance cost of the diesel engine and the fact that most owners never use its off-road capabilities made the market prefer the cheaper, more rational flex versions.
5. Fiat Toro Ranch Diesel (2024)
Like the Compass, the more expensive version of the Toro suffers from depreciation. The loss of value approaches R$ 35,000 in less than a year. With a price very close to that of actual mid-size pickups, like the Hilux and S10, the Toro Ranch finds itself in limbo, being too expensive for its proposal.
6. Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross (2023)
With a strong name, the Eclipse Cross promised sportiness, but its mechanical setup with a 1.5 turbo engine and CVT transmission did not excite. The result is a devaluation that exceeds R$ 56,000, making it one of the worst investments in the segment.
7. Hyundai Tucson (2022)
Another case of an old project sold as new. The Tucson sold in Brazil in 2022 was already a generation behind the global model. The market noticed, and the depreciation reached over R$ 45,000 in less than two years.
8. Peugeot 2008 Allure Pack (2023)
Equipped with the old 1.6 aspirated engine in a market dominated by turbos, the 2008 Allure Pack became a flop. The loss of value is already over R$ 40,000 in just one year, one of the largest in the compact segment.
9. JAC T50 Plus (2022)
Despite being well-equipped, the distrust towards the JAC brand and the instability of its dealership network in Brazil weighs on resale. The T50 Plus lost more than R$ 39,000 in two years, showing that having many standard features does not guarantee appreciation.
10. Citroën C4 Cactus Shine (2021)
The bold design was not enough to hold its value. Chronic problems with the automatic transmission of the 1.6 THP version and a simple interior finish made the C4 Cactus lose more than R$ 23,000 in just over two years.
11. Kia Stonic (2023)
Marketed as an SUV, but with the soul of a hatch, the Stonic confused consumers. The mild hybrid system, which does not allow driving in electric mode, disappointed those expecting more efficiency. The devaluation has already reached nearly R$ 15,000 in less than a year.
12. Citroën C3 Aircross (2024)
Launched with the promise of being an affordable seven-seater SUV, the C3 Aircross suffers from a very simple finish and a competitive weak 1.6 aspirated engine. Depreciation has already exceeded 8% in a few months, a sign that the market did not buy the idea.
