How long is the Audi warranty?

The New Vehicle Limited Warranty runs 4 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. Roadside assistance runs 4 years with unlimited miles.

Does a Certified Pre-Owned Audi have a warranty?

Yes. It adds 1 year or 20,000 miles of coverage that starts when any new-car warranty ends.

Does the warranty transfer if I sell my Audi?

Remaining new-car warranty coverage generally stays with the car. Your warranty booklet has the exact terms.

Do I have to service my Audi at the dealer to keep the warranty?

No. Federal law lets you have maintenance done elsewhere, but keep records of every service. Warranty repairs themselves are done at an authorized Audi dealer.

What does the warranty usually not cover?

Normal wear items such as tires, brake pads and wiper blades, plus damage from accidents or misuse. Your booklet lists the full exclusions.

Is my 2023 Audi still under warranty?

Most likely, if it has fewer than 50,000 miles. Coverage runs 4 years or 50,000 miles from the date it was first sold as new, whichever comes first.

Which Audis come with free maintenance?

2026 and newer models include Audi Signature Care, which covers the first three scheduled services, up to 3 years or 30,000 miles. Older models can add an Audi Care prepaid plan.

My certified Audi was bought before August 2023. What do I have?

Cars sold as certified between May 2018 and July 2023 were covered until 5 years from the car’s original in-service date, with no mileage limit. Check your CPO booklet or call us with your VIN.

Coverage by model year

Warranty coverage starts the day your Audi was first sold or leased as new, not on January 1 of its model year. Use the date on your original paperwork to see what’s left.

Table
Model year	New Vehicle Limited Warranty	Roadside assistance	Scheduled maintenance included	Rust-through (perforation)
2026 and 2027	4 years or 50,000 miles	4 years, unlimited miles	Yes. Audi Signature Care covers the 1-year/10,000, 2-year/20,000 and 3-year/30,000-mile services	12 years, unlimited miles
2023 to 2025	4 years or 50,000 miles. Most of these cars are still covered.	4 years, unlimited miles	No. Audi Care prepaid plans are available.	12 years, unlimited miles
2022	4 years or 50,000 miles. Many are reaching the end now.	Ends with the 4-year term	No. Audi Care prepaid plans are available.	12 years, unlimited miles
2021 and older	Ended for nearly all cars	Ended	No	12 years from first sale, unlimited miles

Mileage limits apply “whichever comes first.” A 2024 with 50,000 miles is out of new-car coverage even if it’s under 4 years old.

Certified Pre-Owned coverage, by when it was certified

Audi changed its Certified Pre-Owned program on August 1, 2023. Your coverage depends on when your car was sold as certified.

Table
Sold as certified	Coverage	Inspection
August 1, 2023 or later	1 year or 20,000 miles, starting when the new-car warranty ends (or at purchase if it already ended)	More than 125 components
May 1, 2018 to July 31, 2023	Until 5 years from the car’s original in-service date, unlimited miles. If the new-car warranty had already ended, 12 months from purchase, unlimited miles.	More than 300 points

Electric, plug-in hybrid and emissions coverage

Audi e-tron high-voltage battery: 8 years or 100,000 miles on the e-tron SUV and Sportback. Battery capacity can decline with age and isn’t guaranteed to return to 100%.
Other electric and plug-in hybrid models (Q4 e-tron, Q6 e-tron, A6 e-tron, e-tron GT, plug-in hybrids): high-voltage battery terms are in your warranty booklet. Ask us and we’ll look up your model.
Federal emissions warranty: 2 years or 24,000 miles on emissions parts, and 8 years or 80,000 miles on major parts such as the catalytic converter and engine control module.
Pennsylvania drivers: Pennsylvania is one of the states where Audi’s California emissions warranty also applies. Your California Emissions Warranty Supplement lists those terms.

This is a summary. Your Warranty and Maintenance booklet has the full terms and exclusions. Program details are set by Audi and can change.

Warranty vs. maintenance

A warranty pays to fix defects. Maintenance is the routine service your car needs, like oil and filters. On 2026 and newer models, Audi Signature Care covers scheduled maintenance for the first 3 years or 30,000 miles. See Audi Care and Signature Care.

Buying pre-owned? See Certified Pre-Owned vs. used.

Keep these records

Good records make any warranty question simple. Keep every service receipt, whether the work was done here or somewhere else. Note the date and mileage of each oil change, tire rotation and inspection. If you buy tires or brakes elsewhere, keep those receipts too. When you sell or trade your Audi, a full service history also helps its value. Our service records show your visits at Audi Sewickley, but outside work only shows up if you keep the paperwork.
