How to choose a used Audi under $40,000?
Under $40,000, you must weigh age, mileage, and equipment: a 2023 Audi Q3 with 77,409 km was listed at $33,995, versus $39,995 for a 2025 Audi Q3 with 21,455 km. This calculation helps determine the best Audi under $40,000 for your needs.
Model year, mileage, and history
Divide the mileage by the age: the 2023 Audi Q5 showing 42,479 km has averaged about 14,000 km per year, versus more than 25,000 km for the 2023 Audi Q3 cited above. Also ask for the CARFAX report and verify the remaining basic warranty coverage of 4 years or 80,000 km.
Features, quattro all-wheel drive, and powertrain
Most of these Audi vehicles rely on a 2.0 L turbo engine: a 2023 Audi Q3 40 TFSI will give you 184 hp, a Q3 45 TFSI produces 228 hp, and you can expect 261 hp in 45 TFSI trims of the A4, A5, and Q5. Quattro all-wheel drive assists in winter conditions, like when driving on snow or ice. It does not replace the mandatory winter tires from December 1 to March 15.
The panoramic roof, CarPlay, and Blind-Spot Monitoring vary by trim (Komfort, Progressiv, or Technik).

Audi A5: a versatile, upscale option
The 2023 Audi A5 Sportback hides a tailgate beneath its coupe silhouette. It offers 495 L of cargo space, versus 340 L for the A4 sedan. With 261 hp and 8.7 L/100 km combined, it is our pick for highway driving. 2023 listings ranged from $30,995 to $37,995. The new 2025 Audi A5 starts at $44,995.
Audi Q3: a compact SUV for everyday use
The Q3 is 20 cm shorter than a Q5 (4,484 mm). That is an advantage in tight parking spots while still offering 671 L of cargo space. Well-equipped 2023 and 2024 units were listed between $30,495 and $35,995.
Audi Q4 e-tron: a gateway to electric
The 2022 Audi Q4 e-tron 50 quattro combines two motors (295 hp) with an 82-kWh battery for 388 km of range. A full charge on a 240 V home unit takes about 9 hours, meaning an overnight charge. Seven of the ten listed Q4 e-tron vehicles cost under $40,000.
Audi A4 and Q5: worth considering when they fit the budget
The 2023 A4 relies on the same 261 hp engine as the A5 in a sedan with a 340 L trunk, but supply is limited. The Q5, meanwhile, is presently available in 34 copies. 2022 and 2023 listings, from $31,495 to $38,995, offer 725 L of cargo space and 4,400 lb. of towing.
What costs should you plan for after buying a used Audi?
Beyond the listed price, which excludes taxes and registration, plan for four items.
- Fuel: premium gas, 8.7 to 9.5 L/100 km for 45 TFSI.
- Winter tires: often 20 in on S line versions.
- Charging: a 240 V home unit for the Q4 e-tron.
- Repairs: your responsibility once the warranty expires.
Used Audi: what does Audi Certified :plus mean?
Audi Certified :plus is Audi Canada's certified pre-owned program. After an inspection of more than 300 points, coverage takes over from the basic warranty for up to 6 years or 160,000 km from the in-service date. A 2023 Audi Q5 put into service in 2023 therefore remains covered until 2029.
The program also includes 24/7 roadside assistance, a CARFAX report, and the option to exchange within 7 days or 500 km. Before you sign, take the time to learn all about this program.
