According to the gm of my dealership he said in the shorter term the q8 will retain its value better than a 19 Q7, and once the face lifted version appears next year, it will be even worse.

I do not find I use my 3rd row as much as I expected and as much as I like the q7, there is part of me that would prefer a more sporty oriented driving experience. Had they made the Q8 stand out from the Q7 in driving dynamics, then I think it would have opened up the market a bit more for it. However as many of us expected all drive reviews so far pretty much say it’s just like driving a Q7.

Thanks, the car is for my wife and although we ordered her 19 q7 with bop and 22’s, she thinks the other 22’s are much more luxurious especially for the new 8

Although I do agree with the facelifted Q7 affecting value of the current Q7 it could also affect that of the Q8. Will people pay more for less? The Q8 hasn’t been tested in the market while the Q7 is always in demand.

Hence I keep my cars for 8+ years. They get depreciated to a few thousand dollars regardless of other factors
