Auto Bild and Schwacke: Audi is Germany’s champ in holding value

Audi cars are tops at retaining their value on the German market, according to a study by the trade magazine Auto Bild for its 2019 “Wertmeister” (Value Champion) rankings. The brand with the four rings won four of the 13 vehicle classes in the rankings – more than any of its competitors. The e-tron 55 quattro** came out on top in the electric vehicle category with a residual value of 58.7 percent. The A1 40 TFSI Sportback** won the subcompact car category with 63.3 percent, while the Q2 40 TFSI quattro** won the compact SUV category with 59.6 percent. The A6 Avant 50 TDI quattro** topped the full-size class with a residual value of 49.8 percent.

The Auto Bild editorial team analyzed the German used car market together with the market observation company Schwacke for this year’s edition of the “Wertmeister” survey. Schwacke evaluates the prices of around 50,000 passenger car models and variants based on a full 1.7 million monthly market observations. The “Wertmeister” ranking shows the residual value of the individual models after a period of possession of four years, with various mileages assumed in the 13 vehicle classes. Referencing the new price – with defined optional equipment – results in a percentage value that determines the placement. For new models, a forecast is incorporated into the rating.
