Yes, they have more features.
That’s all.
A 2011-12 Rav with 150,000km is worth between $15-17k.
A similar aged Tucson goes for reliably less, with half the mileage. With 200,000km, you’d be lucky to get seven grand.
You get what you pay for.

I'd peg them at somewhere in the middle for depreciation. Japanese still are the best (not including Nissan, which is Japan's Chrysler), but I'd say BMW and Mercedes take the biggest kick to the nuts for depreciation. Kia/Hyundai are in the middle of the pack, but I believe they have the best shot of any brand to improve their mid- to long-term resale value. VW holds their value well in Alberta as well from my experience.
