Should I buy a used Audi Q5 now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2025 model is at −7.82% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −15.35%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 38.3% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 41.3%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $30,850. The Audi Q5 offers a roomy, upscale cabin with a comfortable ride and a polished everyday feel.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: One thing we can't do is come at Audi for the way its cars drive, because dynamics are this brand's hallmark. Every Q5 gets a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four with one power output, eliminating the confusing numeric designations of the last generation. At 268 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, the engine is comparable to any turbo 2.0-liter in the segment.
• Tech: A 14.5-inch touchscreen and an 11.9-inch digital instrument cluster come standard, and Prestige trims add a third 10.9-inch touchscreen for the passenger area, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Google built-in apps, and Park Assist Pro.
• Safety: More common driver-assistance features such as automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, blind spot monitors, front and rear parking sensors, and adaptive cruise control are standard, too.
• Starting price: The 2026 Audi Q5 starts at $52,800 for the Premium trim.

If you're buying used today, the 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
