My total cost of ownership calculator can shed light on this.
I'm hoping a used Tesla Model 3 7-seater becomes reasonably priced within the near future, otherwise a new Pacifica hybrid might be the next vehicle. I wonder how practical the 7-seater is though, lifting the middle row away to stuff kids in the back. Model X is probably more practical and a whole other price tier more expensive.

Maybe Edmunds numbers are going off of the current trend due to COVID, in which vehicles aren't losing 10% of their value in a year, but remaing almost the same.
A new Sienna is worth just a bit less than $40,000, yet one that's three or four years old is worth about the same right now...
