What is the Audi certified :plus program?
Audi certified :plus is the certified pre-owned program for Audi vehicles. It governs selection, inspection and coverage to provide a more confidence-inspiring purchase experience, with precise criteria that are met according to the manufacturer's strict standards before the vehicle is offered for sale.
What does the program include?
The Audi certified :plus program selects used vehicles that undergo a comprehensive inspection and meet Audi's rigorous requirements. Certification adds an extended limited warranty, roadside assistance, a CARFAX Canada report and several advantages reserved for certified vehicles.
Which vehicles are eligible?
A vehicle must pass a multipoint inspection covering the exterior, interior, engine, underbody and a road test before earning Audi certified :plus status. For details on eligibility criteria, or to compare this program to the Porsche certified program, for example, feel free to contact a Lauzon expert.
The benefits of a certified pre-owned Audi
A certified pre-owned Audi:plus offers added protections and benefits that make buying a used vehicle more reassuring. The program puts the focus on a comprehensive and thorough vehicle inspection and tailored warranty coverage.
Comprehensive inspection of more than 300 points
The inspection is rigorous and covers more than 300 points. It includes the exterior, the interior, the engine, the underbody and on‑road behaviour during a test drive.
Audi certified :plus limited warranty
The combined Audi certified :plus warranty can reach up to 6 years from the original in‑service date or 160,000 km, whichever comes first. It begins after the new-vehicle warranty and offers different protection.
24/7 roadside assistance
Roadside assistance is available at all times and also includes trip‑interruption services for added peace of mind.
CARFAX Canada report
Whether you are shopping for one of the best used SUVs or an Audi sedan, every certified used Audi comes with a CARFAX Canada report so you can review the known history before purchase.
Competitive financing and 7-day / 500-km exchange privilege
The program provides access to financing options from Audi Finance with monthly or biweekly payments. It also includes a 7‑day or 500‑km exchange privilege, whichever comes first, for worry-free buying.
All these benefits are part of the Audi certified :plus program in Canada. To see whether it applies to a model you are considering, or to help you determine your vehicle's trade‑in value, contact Lauzon experts today.
Audi certified :plus or a regular used Audi: what is different?
An Audi certified :plus stands out through a process supervised by the manufacturer, extended coverage and advantages reserved for certified vehicles. A regular used Audi can offer good value, but its inspection and protection level vary by seller.
A far more rigorous inspection
The vehicle is evaluated on more than 300 points on the outside, inside, under the body, in the engine bay and on the road before being certified, meeting the brand's high standards.
More extensive warranty coverage
Combined coverage can reach up to 6 years from the original in‑service date or 160,000 km, whichever comes first. A typical used Audi rarely offers this length of warranty.
Greater peace of mind
24/7 roadside assistance, the CARFAX Canada report and the 7‑day or 500‑km exchange privilege add protections that are rarely offered with a regular used Audi.
