Brand guide*

Audi lineup.

Audi is one of the German luxury three: quattro all-wheel drive, minimalist cabins, and a lineup in the middle of a full renewal. The new A5 and A6 replace the old A4 and A6, the Q5 and Q6 e-tron are all-new, and the S and RS models raise the output of the standard cars.

By The Model Black · Updated October 7, 2026

Every new Audi carries a 4 year / 50,000 mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Complimentary scheduled maintenance is not included, so factor service costs or an Audi Care prepaid plan into your budget.

Questions.

What is the cheapest new Audi?

The A3 sedan, typically starting around $40K, with the Q3 SUV at a similar price point. Plus each dealership's own documentary fee (not a government fee), taxes, and government fees. When a participating dealership lists one on The Model Black, the listing shows your estimated monthly payment with local taxes and fees included, so you can compare true cost across trims.

What happened to the Audi A4?

It was replaced. Audi's new naming puts even numbers on electric cars and odd numbers on gas cars, so the A4's successor is the all-new A5 sedan. If you were an A4 shopper, cross-shop the A5, or a lightly used final-generation A4 for value.

Are Audis expensive to maintain?

Comparable to Mercedes: no complimentary maintenance is included, and luxury-dealer service adds up, roughly $400 to $900 a year depending on model and age. Audi Care prepaid maintenance packages usually beat pay-as-you-go pricing, and a CPO warranty softens out-of-warranty risk.

What is the difference between S and RS models?

S models like the S3, S5, and SQ5 are the fast-but-daily versions: bigger engines, sport suspension, restrained looks. RS models like the RS3, RS Q8, and RS e-tron GT are Audi Sport's full-attack builds: dramatically more power, aggressive chassis setups, and price tags to match.

Is a certified pre-owned Audi a good buy?

Audi CPO adds a 1 year / unlimited mile warranty after remaining factory coverage ends.
