Consider waiting if:

• Tech: An 11.9-inch digital instrument cluster and a 12.8-inch touchscreen are combined in one curved housing, and the current version of Audi’s Multimedia Interface (MMI) infotainment system includes standalone wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

If you're buying used today, the 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
