Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: Choose the Audi A4 40 TFSI, and you’ll get a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine generating an underwhelming 201 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque. It uses a seven-speed S-tronic dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT) to power the standard Quattro Ultra all-wheel-drive (AWD) system, and earns an EPA fuel economy rating of 29 mpg in combined driving.
• Tech: Features include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless smartphone charging, and a 19-speaker Bang & Olufsen premium audio system.

• Starting price: Prices start at under $40,000 and rise to more than $50,000.

If you're buying used today, the 2018 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for 2026 inventory to mature.
