7 car brands with great resale value & 7 with terrible depreciation

Buying a car feels exciting at first—the test drives, the new-car smell, the sense of upgrade. But that excitement fades once you realize how quickly some cars lose value. That’s because resale value often separates smart buyers from regretful ones. The moment you drive off the lot, depreciation begins. Some brands manage that drop gracefully, keeping strong resale prices for years thanks to reliability and consistent demand. Others, however, plummet in value before your first service reminder even pops up. Interestingly, it’s not just bad luck, as factors like maintenance costs, reputation, and market trust play a huge role. And understanding this early can save you thousands when it’s time to sell or trade in. So before you pick your next set of wheels, it’s worth knowing which car brands protect your investment—and which ones drain it fast. First, here are seven car brands that make your money work harder by holding their value year after year.

Electric superchargers - How Audi is eliminating turbo lag

The Audi SQ7 is powered by a 4.0L sequential turbo diesel V8. It's good for about 435 horsepower and 660 lb-ft of torque, which is great, but the fun doesn't stop there. In order to eliminate unresponsive nature of turbocharged engines, Audi has fitted the car with an electric supercharger, the first in a production vehicle. This means adding an onboard 48V system that can handle the additional power requirements of the electric powered compressor (EPC), which at full throttle can produce 7 kW of power, enough to spin the compressor wheel up to 70,000 RPM in just a quarter of a second. Full details of how this system works in the video, as well as animations. Engineering Explained is a participant in the Amazon Influencer Program.
