Audi A4 Price: MSRP, Trims & Real-World Cost

Updated  2 sources

Typical price

$42,000 – $51,300

Audi's compact luxury sedan changed names after the 2025 model year. The car many buyers still call the A4 continues as the A5 sedan, so a search for the current A4 price leads to A5 pricing. This page covers both: what the final A4 cost, and what its successor costs now.

That matters if you are shopping used. A 2025 or earlier A4 is a different purchase from a new A5, and the price gap between them is easier to understand once you see the trim lineup side by side. All figures are manufacturer's suggested retail prices, last checked Oct 13, 2026, and exclude taxes, registration, and dealer fees.

Audi A4 Price by Trim

The 2025 A4 came in three equipment levels, Premium, Premium Plus, and Prestige, each offered with the standard look or the sportier S line appearance. The "40 TFSI" and "45 TFSI" badges refer to the engine version, with the 45 generally indicating the higher-output turbo four-cylinder. All models listed were quattro, Audi's all-wheel-drive system.

Price by trim

Item Price
2025 A4 quattro Premium 40 TFSI $42,000
2025 A4 S line Premium 45 TFSI $44,100
2025 A4 quattro Premium Plus 40 TFSI $47,100
2025 A4 S line Premium Plus 45 TFSI $48,600
2025 A4 quattro Prestige 40 TFSI $50,700
2025 A4 S line Prestige 45 TFSI $51,300

The stack is easy to read. Premium is the entry point, Premium Plus adds features, and Prestige is the fully equipped version. Moving to an S line trim with the 45 TFSI engine costs more than the matching 40 TFSI trim.

Destination Charge

Like every new car, the A4 carried a destination charge on top of its MSRP. It appears on the window sticker and applies equally to every trim.

Fees and options

When you compare a used A4 with an A5 quote, remember that a new car will also carry sales tax, registration, and a dealer documentation fee.

Audi A5 Price: The A4's Successor

Audi sells the A5 sedan as the replacement for the A4 sedan. It is the car you will find at a dealer if you ask for a new A4 today. The 2026 A5 sedan is priced in the same three equipment steps as the old car.

Successor: 2026 Audi A5

Item Price
2026 A5 quattro Premium (A4 successor) $50,200
2026 A5 quattro Premium Plus (A4 successor) $52,700
2026 A5 quattro Prestige (A4 successor) $56,700

Compare the A5 figures with the 2025 A4 table above. The A5 starts higher than the A4 did, so a new car costs more than the one it replaces. Part of that difference may be a newer design and added features, though you should confirm that on a spec sheet before assuming the extra money buys specific equipment.

Should You Buy a Used A4 Instead?

A used A4 is often the better value for buyers who care more about price than about the newest design. Because the A4 name is no longer on new cars, you will find it only on the used market and in remaining new-car inventory at some dealers. Consider these points:

  • Depreciation helps you. Luxury sedans lose a meaningful portion of their value in the first years, so a one- or two-year-old A4 can sit well below the prices above.
  • Warranty status matters. Check how much of the factory coverage remains, and whether a certified pre-owned program applies.
  • Condition and history. Ask for service records and a vehicle history report, and have an independent shop inspect the car.
  • Repair costs. Parts and labor on a European luxury car usually cost more than on a mainstream sedan, so budget for maintenance.

What Changes the Price of an Audi

The trim table gives you the baseline, but a few things shift the figure you pay:

  • Packages. Technology, sport, and cold-weather packages bundle features and add to the sticker.
  • Paint and wheels. Premium paint and larger wheels are extra-cost items.
  • Dealer pricing. Some dealers discount, others hold at MSRP, depending on regional demand and inventory.
  • Financing and leasing. Audi offers lease and loan deals that can make the monthly payment lower than the sticker alone suggests. Look at the total cost over the term, and not only the payment.

Questions to Ask Before Buying

  • Is this an A4 or an A5? Confirm the model name and year on the listing, because the names are not interchangeable.
  • Which trim is it, and does it have the 40 TFSI or 45 TFSI engine?
  • If it is used, what is the mileage, and does the warranty transfer?
  • What fees are on the out-the-door quote besides destination and tax?
