What the depreciation data tells us
- Retention here is reported at the 5-year mark, not 10. Most Chinese brands haven't been on Qatar's roads long enough for a confident decade-long projection.
- GAC GS 3 and Changan CS lead the steepest depreciation. Smaller second-owner pools and still-thin parts ecosystems hold prices down.
- MG dominates the middle of the table with four nameplates clustered between 5 and 9% per year. The brand has earned secondary-market acceptance faster than its rivals.
- Chery Tiggo is the value-retention standout at about 5.5% per year. Volume sales and dealer presence are compounding into resale strength.
- Expect this list to shift as Chinese brands accumulate more road time. Many newer entrants — Haval, Geely Tugella, BYD — don't yet have the age range to fit, but they will within two years.
These rankings are generated by machine-learning models trained on publicly available Qatar used-car listings. The order shown may be partially or fully wrong — RaqamQatar does not have the final word on what actually depreciates fastest or what is truly reliable. We track market behaviour, not vehicle quality directly. Sample size, listing biases, regional preferences, and brand-new market entrants all shape the numbers you see here. Treat this as one data point alongside dealer information, real-world reviews, and your own inspection — not as the only factor in your buying decision.
