Audi A5 Depreciation & Resale Value

Audi A5 keeps an estimated 53% of its recent market value after 5 years — #322 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Audi A5 retains an estimated 53% of its recent market value after five years, ranking #322 of 530 cars we track. That is roughly in line with the 54% five-year average for Luxury in its class.

Most of the loss lands early: the Audi A5 sheds about 16% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $47,295 it falls to around $25,208 by year five — a five-year loss near $22,087, about $12.10 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Audi A5 bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
