Market analysis
Asking prices for a used Audi Q5 tail light are unusually spread out: the top listing asks more than ten times what the cheapest does, so which unit you pick matters more than the median.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, classic style, liftgate mounted, LH, lists at a $290 median, while new style, liftgate mounted, SUV commands $580, a 100% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2017 units carry the lowest median at $143, while 2025 tops the table at $388. Parts from 2009–2017 are interchangeable, so if the 2017 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 9 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Audi Q5 sits 71% above the Hyundai Elantra ($161), 83% above the GMC Terrain ($150), and 83% above the Jeep Grand Cherokee ($150) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
