What should I look for when buying a used 2017 Audi A4?

At 57.5% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a thorough pre-purchase inspection, especially if the car has been in any collision. Focus on bodywork quality, electronic features, and how well the cabin and driver-assistance systems function, since this model leans heavily on technology.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Premium trim includes front-wheel drive, a 7-speed automated manual transmission, 17-inch aluminum wheels, HID headlights, leather seats, triple-zone automatic climate control, a 10-speaker sound system, and forward-collision warning with front and rear automatic emergency braking. Premium Plus adds S-line exterior trim, larger 18-inch wheels, LED headlights, parking-assist sensors, a Bang & Olufsen sound system, passive keyless entry, and SOS emergency calling. Prestige adds Audi Virtual Cockpit, navigation, Audi Connect services, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, a heads-up display, and a 360-degree top-view camera system.
• Powertrain: The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine makes 252 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque, and the Quattro all-wheel-drive system is available with torque-vectoring and a self-locking center differential. Audi says the Quattro version can return 27 mpg in combined driving.
• Safety package: Audi Pre-Sense Basic and Pre-Sense City are standard, along with forward collision warning, front and rear automatic emergency braking, and pedestrian detection. Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic assist, lane-departure warning and assist, turn assist, Pre-Sense Rear, and automatic high-beam headlights are available, with some of the more advanced features reserved for higher trims.
• Infotainment: The MMI system can use an 8.3-inch screen, and Audi Virtual Cockpit uses a 12.3-inch display. Audi Connect adds a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot and smartphone-based remote functions, while handwriting recognition is built into the MMI controller.
• Fuel efficiency: Audi says the Quattro version returns 27 mpg in combined driving, and the test loop returned 23.1 mpg.

Which 2017 Audi A4 trim should I buy?

The 2017 Audi A4 is offered in 3 trim levels: Premium, Premium Plus, Prestige.

Here's the short version:

• Premium: This is the value-focused choice if you want the core A4 experience without stretching the budget. You still get the 2.0-liter turbo engine, front-wheel drive, leather seats, triple-zone climate control, and standard collision-avoidance tech, so it covers the essentials well.
• Premium Plus: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds the equipment that makes the A4 feel more upscale day to day, including LED headlights, parking sensors, passive keyless entry, SOS emergency calling, and the Bang & Olufsen sound system.
• Prestige: Choose this if you want the most advanced tech and convenience features, including Audi Virtual Cockpit, navigation, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, a heads-up display, and the 360-degree camera system.

Safety equipment is strongest as you move up the range, with the most advanced driver-assistance features reserved for Prestige.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2017 Audi A4?

The market looks selective rather than overheated, so you have room to shop carefully and still find a decent deal.

• Deal availability: 35.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 863 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.20% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 57.5% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $13,534, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2017 Audi A4's resale value?

The current average of $13,735 sits slightly below last year's $14,800.

That price movement suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy at a more favorable point if you plan to keep the car for a while. For a future seller, it also means there may be less room for appreciation unless the car is especially clean, well equipped, and well documented.

Because the A4 still draws interest for its design, technology, and driving feel, a well-kept example should remain easier to move than a neglected one. Strong condition and desirable equipment matter more when the broader market is already softer.

Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.47/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2017 Audi A4 safe?

The 2017 Audi A4 earns a Top Safety Pick+ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

Audi Pre-Sense Basic is standard, and Pre-Sense City adds forward collision warning, front and rear automatic emergency braking, and pedestrian detection. Higher trims add blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic assist, lane-departure warning and assist, turn assist, Pre-Sense Rear, and automatic high-beam headlights.

One important caveat is that some of the more advanced safety and convenience features are not standard on every trim, so you should confirm exactly which driver-assistance systems are included on the specific car you’re considering.

Should I buy a 2017 Audi A4 or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2017 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2017 if:

• 35.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 57.5% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.20% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.47/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• The 2017 redesign gives you the model’s fresh styling, upgraded technology, and strong expert score.

The bottom line: If you want the redesigned A4 with strong tech, polished driving manners, and a softer used-car price, the 2017 is the year to target. If your priority is simply finding the lowest entry price, you may want to compare nearby years and focus on the cleanest, best-documented example rather than the newest badge.
