What Audi SQ5 do most buyers choose?

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

Higher-volume years tend to draw more shoppers because they offer a wider selection and a stronger chance of finding the right color, mileage, and equipment mix. They also tend to be easier to compare side by side, which helps you shop with more confidence.

What is the Audi SQ5's resale value?

The table shows broad downward movement across every listed model year, which is helpful if you're shopping used. Several years have double-digit declines, so recent-model buyers may find better value than they would have a year ago. The smallest changes are still negative, which means prices have eased across the lineup rather than holding flat.

The 2020, 2025, and 2018 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
