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

Buy now if:

• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 40% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 41.5%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $30,655. The Audi Q5 offers a refined ride, a premium cabin, and a practical layout that make it easy to live with every day.

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. The Q5 boasts EPA-rated fuel economy of 21 mpg city, 29 mpg highway, and 24 mpg combined.
• Tech: A 14.5-inch touchscreen and an 11.9-inch digital instrument cluster come standard, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are supported.
• Safety: More common driver-assistance features suc as automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, blind spot monitors, front and rear parking sensors, and adaptive cruise control are standard, too.

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.
