Why does the 2024 BMW iX depreciate so fast?
New EV tech hurts resale values. Better batteries and cheaper models come out each year. The iX started at $87,250 for the xDrive50. Now in 2026, clean examples sell for $55,000 to $65,000 with low miles, per Edmunds listings (Source: Edmunds True Market Value, Q1 2026).
In T3P 0A8 (Alberta area), cold weather adds wear to batteries. This speeds up depreciation by 5-10% versus warmer spots. High sales tax and insurance in Canada also play a role.
AAA data shows depreciation hits $4,334 yearly for average new cars. Luxury EVs double that (Source: AAA Your Driving Costs Study, 2026).
