Price | Year-Over-Year Change | |---|---|---|---| | 2025 | $32,110 | −16.82% | | 2024 | $29,033 | −15.02% | | 2022 | $24,316 | −13.02% | | 2015 | $10,477 | −11.5% | | 2021 | $21,656 | −10.34% | | 2017 | $12,011 | −9.45% | | 2016 | $11,740 | −8.16% | | 2018 | $14,321 | −6.94% | | 2020 | $20,572 | −6.44% | | 2019 | $19,026 | −4.04% | | 2023 | $28,552 | +2.22% |

Should I buy a used Audi Q3 now or wait for the next model?
