- Generation
- Tap a generation (↓) to jump to its full breakdown below; the colour maps back to the timeline strip + legend above.
- Price range
- P75 → P25 of asking — the middle half of listings at that age sits inside this band. Outliers above and below excluded.
- Down payment
- MAS Notice 642 LTV cap applied to the age's median asking: 30% when OMV is up to S$20k, 40% above. Max loan tenure 7 years. Rows marked * mix both OMV buckets — we display the conservative 40% figure so the quote never under-states what a luxury-OMV listing at that age would actually require.
- Availability
- High when this age's listing share is ≥1.5× the model's uniform expectation, low when ≤0.6×, medium otherwise. Model-relative, so an evenly-spread model lands all-medium.

- Brand reliability
- Consumer-survey composite — JD Power · WhatCar · Consumer Reports. Same score for every variant of a given make.
- Resale strength
- 100 − 3× annualised tangible-decay (COE-stripped). Fitted from each variant's asking-price-by-age regression then averaged at model level.
- Peer set
- Every same-segment model with ≥5 active PARF listings whose variants fit a depreciation curve. Practicality isn't plotted — it's a body-shape constant within the segment, so it would be the same for every dot.
- Quadrants
- The crosshair marks the segment median on each axis. Top-right (Safe Bets) is strong on both; top-left (Hidden Gems) holds value above what the brand reputation suggests; bottom-right (Bargain Buys) is well-built but depreciates fast — buy cheap; bottom-left (High Risk) is soft on both.

Verdict
Audi's first full EV — based on the MLB Evo platform with 95 kWh (later 114 kWh) battery, dual motors (quattro). Generally reliable EV platform per owner reports; some early build software / charging quirks resolved by OTA. Renamed Q8 e-tron in 2023 facelift with refreshed exterior + interior + bigger battery. Universal EV checks apply: 12V auxiliary battery, HV battery SOH, charging system. Air suspension is optional and well-known long-term cost line. Cars 1-7 years old; not widely-reported failure pattern.

What's good
- Post-2023 Q8 e-tron facelift with all OTA + recall updates documented — the facelift refreshed software + added bigger 114 kWh battery. Combined with documented OTA history, the cleanest used pick. The platform is one of the more reliable luxury EVs per owner reports.
- Battery health confirmed at 90%+ on an Audi service report — same EV battery durability story as broader EV catalogue (BMW iX3 / Tesla / Taycan / EQB). SOH report confirms pack is performing within expected curve.
What to watch
- Pre-2020 e-tron with no record of software or recall updates — early-build software + charging quirks. Most addressed via OTA but paperwork is essential. Walk on vague history.
- A 12V battery that's weak or has left the car dead at start-up — same universal EV-style failure mode. Cheap to fix (S$300-500) but reproducible at viewing = budget preventive at purchase.
