What Audi SQ5 do most buyers choose?

The Audi SQ5 years with the most listings are 2024, 2022, and 2023.

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you more inventory to compare, which can make it easier to find the right color, mileage, and price combination. They also tend to attract shoppers looking for a newer SQ5 without moving all the way to the latest model year.

What is the Audi SQ5's resale value?

The SQ5's used prices are moving lower across every year shown here, and several model years are posting double-digit declines. That creates a favorable setup if you're shopping used, because recent examples have become noticeably more affordable. The smallest drops are still meaningful, but they show that some years are softening less than others.

The 2023, 2020, and 2019 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Should I buy a used Audi SQ5 now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $47,028. The Audi SQ5 offers a sporty, premium driving character that blends strong acceleration with a refined cabin.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: Audi equips the SQ5 with a sweetheart of a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine. It produces 362 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque on premium fuel. The official EPA fuel economy rating is 22 mpg combined.
• Tech: The Premium and Premium Plus trim levels include an 11.9-inch Audi Virtual Cockpit Plus digital instrumentation display and a 14.5-inch OLED touchscreen for the Multimedia Interface (MMI) infotainment system. Other standard features include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

• Starting price: Audi offers the 2025 SQ5 and SQ5 Sportback in Premium, Premium Plus, and Prestige trim levels, priced from $66,095 to $74,295, with a $1,295 destination charge.

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 2027 inventory to mature.
