Mid-size Sedan · what it costs new, what it’s worth used, and who has one near you.
The 2013 Audi A8 is a mid-size sedan we track across the used market in Canada. It comes in gas (14.6 L/100 km) and hybrid (8.4 L/100 km) forms, so the main choice is fuel — the hybrid earns its premium back over enough kilometres. A 22-year-old one keeps roughly 10% of a current model's market price — what actually matters over five years of ownership.
