How much does the 2022 Audi A4 cost?

Prices have softened 16.09% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 658 listings available, which gives you a decent amount of inventory to compare before you buy.

Is the 2022 Audi A4 a good car?

Yes — the 2022 Audi A4 earns a 5/5 user rating and an 8.33/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel, Performance, Technology, and Safety.

The A4 stands out as a compact luxury sports sedan that still feels fresh, with a rock-solid structure and modern technology that help it remain a strong all-around choice. It is also fun to drive, and its technology is impressive, which makes it appealing if you want a refined sedan that does a lot well.

The main trade-offs are the underwhelming base engine and the cramped back seat. Even so, the 39.2% good-or-great deal share suggests there are still worthwhile listings if you shop carefully.

Is the 2022 Audi A4 reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The 2022 A4 comes across as a well-sorted, mature sedan with a rock-solid structure and a polished driving feel. Its performance notes also point to a refined powertrain and a composed chassis, which are the kinds of traits that usually matter most when you plan to keep a car for years.

It also includes standard AWD, which adds confidence in poor weather and broadens its everyday usefulness. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that the base engine may feel too modest if you expect stronger acceleration from the start.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Audi A4?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 83.1% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a history report on any car you are considering, even if the listing looks clean. A pre-purchase inspection is especially important on a luxury sedan like this, because you want to confirm that the drivetrain, electronics, and cabin features all work as intended. Focus on overall condition, since the A4’s appeal depends heavily on how well it has been maintained.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup includes the A4 sedan, the A4 Allroad, and an S4 performance-tuned model, while the A4 itself comes in 40 TFSI and 45 TFSI model series with Premium, Premium Plus, and Prestige trim levels. The base setup is the most appealing on price, but the more expensive versions add the richer equipment that makes the cabin feel more upscale.
• Powertrain: The 40 TFSI uses a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 201 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque, while the 45 TFSI increases output to 261 hp and 273 lb-ft. Both use a seven-speed S-tronic dual-clutch automatic and standard Quattro Ultra AWD, and both require premium gas.
• Safety package: Under the Audi Pre Sense umbrella, the Prestige model includes front and rear collision preparation, forward-collision warning, and automatic emergency braking. It also adds lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, lane-centering assist, adaptive cruise control with Traffic Jam Assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, a safe exit warning system, a surround-view camera system, Park Assist, and Matrix-design LED headlights with automatic high-beam operation. The more you spend, the more of this equipment you get.
• Infotainment: The A4 uses a 10.1-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, Audi Connect connected services, wireless smartphone charging, and a 19-speaker Bang & Olufsen premium audio system. It also supports common swipe, scroll, pinch, and spread gestures.
• Fuel efficiency: The 40 TFSI earns 29 mpg in combined driving, while the 45 TFSI is rated at 27 mpg combined.

Which 2022 Audi A4 trim should I buy?

The 2022 Audi A4 is offered in 6 trim levels: 40 TFSI Premium, 40 TFSI Premium Plus, 40 TFSI Prestige, 45 TFSI Premium, 45 TFSI Premium Plus, and 45 TFSI Prestige.

Here's the short version:

• 40 TFSI Premium: This is the entry point if you want the lowest price and standard AWD, plus the A4’s core luxury features such as real wood trim, leather upholstery, heated front seats, and a power sunroof. It makes the most sense if you want the A4 experience without stretching for extra power.
• 40 TFSI Premium Plus: This is the trim to target if you want a better balance of equipment and value, since it builds on the base car without jumping all the way to the pricier Prestige models. It should suit you if you want a more complete luxury setup while staying mindful of budget.
• 40 TFSI Prestige: This is the best fit if you want the fullest safety and convenience package in the lower-output engine lineup. It is the trim to choose if you care most about driver-assistance tech and a more fully loaded cabin.
• 45 TFSI Premium: This is the better pick if you want stronger acceleration without immediately moving to the top of the range. The extra power makes the A4 feel more rewarding, so this is the value choice for drivers who care about performance.
• 45 TFSI Premium Plus: This is the sweet spot for many shoppers because it combines the stronger engine with a richer equipment mix. If you want the most balanced version of the A4, this is the one to focus on first.
• 45 TFSI Prestige: This is the most complete version of the A4, pairing the stronger engine with the most advanced safety and convenience content. Choose it if you want the most upscale and fully equipped A4 experience.

The safety package is most complete on the Prestige trims, so if driver assistance matters most to you, start there.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Audi A4?

This looks like a moderate market for selective buyers, so it rewards comparison shopping more than impulse buying.

• Deal availability: 39.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 658 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 16.09% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 83.1% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $22,833, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Audi A4's resale value?

The current average of $22,833 sits slightly below last year's $27,212.

That price movement suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy at a better entry point today. For a future seller, it also means you should expect resale value to depend heavily on condition, mileage, and equipment level rather than on broad market appreciation.

Well-kept examples with stronger equipment and a clean history should hold up better than stripped or neglected ones. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Audi A4 safe?

The 2022 Audi A4 earns a Top Safety Pick+ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and a five-star overall rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

Audi Pre Sense is the core driver-assistance suite, and on the Prestige model it includes front and rear collision preparation, forward-collision warning, and automatic emergency braking. That trim also adds lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, lane-centering assist, adaptive cruise control with Traffic Jam Assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, a safe exit warning system, a surround-view camera system, Park Assist, and Matrix-design LED headlights with automatic high-beam operation.

The main caveat is that the more advanced safety equipment is not spread evenly across the lineup, so lower trims will not give you the same feature set as the Prestige model. The adaptive cruise system also showed a delayed reaction in one test scenario, so it is worth understanding how the driver-assistance tech behaves before you rely on it heavily.

Should I buy a 2022 Audi A4 or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 39.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 83.1% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 16.09% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It impressed as a compact luxury sports sedan that still feels fresh, with a rock-solid structure and modern technology.

The bottom line: The 2022 A4 is the right move if you want a well-rounded luxury sedan with strong safety, good tech, and a market that has become more buyer-friendly. If you are especially price-sensitive, you can still shop carefully and look for a lower-mileage example near the bottom of the range, but the 2022 is the better pick if you want the freshest-feeling version of this generation without paying new-car money.
