Audi Q8 keeps an estimated 50% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #513 of 684 cars VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Audi Q8 retains an estimated 50% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #513 of 684 cars we track. That trails the 55% five-year average for Luxury in its class by 6 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Audi Q8 sheds about 0% of its original MSRP in year one alone. From roughly $75,600 it falls to around $37,422 by year five — a five-year loss near $38,178, about $20.92 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Audi Q8 bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
