How much does the 2022 Audi A4 cost?

Prices have softened 15.26% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 626 listings available, which suggests you have a decent amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2022 Audi A4 a good car?

Yes — the 2022 Audi A4 earns a 5/5 user rating and an 8.3/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel, Performance, Technology, and Safety.

The A4 stands out because it still feels fresh despite being well into its life cycle, with a rock-solid structure and modern technology that keep it competitive in the luxury sports sedan class. It is also fun to drive, and its technology is a highlight.

The main trade-offs are the underwhelming base engine and the cramped back seat, so you should weigh those against the car’s strengths if rear-seat space or stronger entry-level performance matters to you. The market shows 37.7% of listings as good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2022 Audi A4 reliable?

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

The A4’s appeal is reinforced by its rock-solid structure, modern technology, and the way it continues to feel current even though this generation has been around for years. In expert testing, it was described as an excellent choice in a luxury sports sedan, with a refined and rewarding driving character.

Its powertrain is described as refined, with strong torque delivery and a transmission that behaves beautifully, which supports confidence in everyday use. The A4 also offers standard AWD and a well-integrated cabin layout, and the available maintenance perk language points to a model that can be easy to live with early in ownership.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that a neglected example could be more expensive to sort out if you prioritize the higher-spec equipment and technology this car is known for.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 79.4% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a history report on any car you’re considering, even if the listing looks clean at first glance. A pre-purchase inspection is especially important on a luxury sedan like this, where equipment level and condition can vary a lot from one example to the next. Focus on how well the cabin, tech, and driver-assistance features work, since those are major parts of the A4’s appeal.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup includes 40 TFSI and 45 TFSI model series, plus Premium, Premium Plus, and Prestige trim levels. The lower-priced versions are the most appealing on paper, but the base setup is also the least powerful, while the higher trims add more of the features that make the car feel special.
• 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 brings 261 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. Both use a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic and standard AWD, and the more powerful version is the better fit if you want stronger acceleration.
• Safety package: Audi Pre Sense includes front and rear collision preparation, forward-collision warning, and automatic emergency braking. Higher-spec examples can also add 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, and Park Assist.
• Infotainment: The A4 uses a 10.1-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus Audi Connect, wireless smartphone charging, and available navigation. The system also supports common swipe and pinch gestures, and the interface is designed to be easy to use while driving.
• 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, and it makes the most sense if you want the lowest price and are comfortable with the underwhelming base engine. It gives you the core A4 experience, but it is the trim where the performance compromise is most obvious.
• 40 TFSI Premium Plus: This is the best-value choice if you want a better balance of equipment and price. It should be the trim to focus on if you want more of the A4’s premium feel without jumping all the way to the top.
• 40 TFSI Prestige: Choose this if you want the fullest version of the lower-output model and care most about the available comfort and safety equipment.
• 45 TFSI Premium: This is the better pick if you want stronger acceleration without going all the way to the most expensive trim. The added power makes the A4 feel more rewarding.
• 45 TFSI Premium Plus: This is the sweet spot for shoppers who want the stronger engine and a richer feature set. It offers the best mix of performance and value.
• 45 TFSI Prestige: Pick this if you want the most fully equipped A4 and are willing to pay for the top-spec experience.

Audi Pre Sense is standard, and higher trims add more driver-assistance features as you move up the range.

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

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 37.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 626 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 15.26% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 79.4% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $22,218, 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 $22,226 sits slightly below last year's $26,229.

That price movement suggests the A4 has already absorbed a meaningful amount of depreciation, which can help future sellers if they buy at the right price. If you purchase near the lower end of the current range, you may have a better chance of limiting further loss when it’s time to sell.

The model’s strong technology, safety reputation, and premium-brand appeal should help it stay attractive to used buyers. 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 (IIHS) and a five-star overall rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

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

Audi Pre Sense includes front and rear collision preparation, forward-collision warning, and automatic emergency braking. The A4 can also be equipped with 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, and Park Assist.

One caveat is that the adaptive cruise control can react a bit slowly in changing traffic situations, so you should still stay engaged behind the wheel. Higher trims carry more of the advanced safety equipment, so base versions may not be as comprehensively equipped.

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:

• 37.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 79.4% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 15.26% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• Expert or safety highlight specific to this year from the 2022 model’s testing: it still feels fresh, with a rock-solid structure and modern technology that keep it competitive.

The bottom line: The 2022 is the right path if you want the strongest mix of value, technology, and safety in this generation. If you are especially price-sensitive, you can also focus on the lower end of the market range and prioritize a clean-history example with the equipment you want.
